For trade.

Really nice rear 16" wheel for BSA A65/A50. It's a Harley rim laced to a chrome BSA QD hub. Chrome is real nice, but of course not perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to run this but I want an 18" instead. Come with an awesome Goodyear Eagle A/T tire. A little dusty but tread is hardly touched. Run it!!!

This might be a long shot but I will trade for an equally nice 18" BSA wheel w/QD hub and equally nice tire or extra cash so I can buy something cool. I've already cleaned up my wheel and have lots of photo's. If you can't be bothered to do the same then I'm not interested.

If you don't have anything to trade, make me an offer! Keep in mind your offer has to buy me a nice wheel and tire!

For Sale

Solid pair of alloy high shoulder Yamaha XS650 wheels. 19" front 18" rear. This is what you want and need for your cafe or cutter project. Comes with good bearings, no brake. Will need a thorough application of elbow grease. I started cleaning them up but it's gonna take some work. You can see the close up of the spoke that I cleaned up - looks pretty good, now just 71 more to go!! Come with crappy Cheng Shin tires. They don't want to come off so you have no choice, they're coming with the rims. Sorry.

$175 firm + shipping from Cleveland, Ohio

The Bar

Some idiot at the bar last night came up to us all snarky like and was saying "yea these are cool, but I'm into old Triumphs" (Chris and I were on our modern Triumphs last night). He then went on to say that he had a "1966 TR6 TRIDENT". ....."UHHHH, say that again?" I asked. He repeated, but added "it's a triple!". I had to use all of my power not to call him out and ruin his ego. You see, the TR6 model is a single carb 650 twin, that at least did in fact exist in 1966. The TRIDENT however being a 750 triple (he got that part right) was not even introduced until 1968. So how this guy has a "'66 TR6 TRIDENT" is beyond me. Was he just barking off names of bikes he had heard trying to sound like he had something cool, and figured we wouldn't know the difference because we were on those pesky modern bikes? Does he really own some kind of bike that he honestly thinks is a '66 Trident?? Why do people do what they do?? Why? Here is a photo of a 1968 Triumph Trident - the first year of it's existence.

Unicorn Viking Assault Van.........

I can't get enough of vikings on Unicorns, because everyone knows that only fairys ride Unicorns, not awesome Vikings with AK-47s....so obviously this Unicorn is harder than the others. It shits rainbow for a reason.

Stolen from the interwebs........can't remember where, maybe Motoguru
