My newest toy. I bought two of these babies. One in the attachment is up and running and the other one needs to be assembled.
Just for the record.............I haven't been on a moto cross bike in 30 years!

Ok.....got both bikes in yesterday. If you ever have to go to Forward Air to pick up any kind of freight,don't plan on anyone that works there to lift a finger to help you.
I can see now that there's probably no way I can have the 440 ready for the June race,but it will be ready as fast as possible.
One more question.........do I, or how do I join the TVRC?

Jack, here's a link for TVRC membership:

http://www.tvrc.org/TVRC%20Forms/TVRC%20APPLICATION.htm

I've been through my 440 upside-down and backwards, at least 3 times. not saying I'm an expert, but I'd be happy to answer questions and help, if I can. check your "inbox" for my telephone #'s.

Spokes...........I need new spokes for the front wheel on the 440. Where's the best place to get them?

You're probably gonna be sorry you offered your help........I got about a million questions!

Jack, I would suggest you get the front wheel off of Craig's bike, it looks reasonably good..............Not sure about the Maico crew, but I have used Buchanan with good luck.............http://www.buchananspokes.net/

APB................APB. Does anyone have a bearing puller to remove some swingarm bearings that look like they have been in the same damn swingarm for 32 years? As soon as I get the swingarm bearings out,she's headed for the powder coaters.

Dang Tommy, that's some pretty interesting stuff that I had no idea even existed. The stuff like this is what makes this web site so cool, interesting and unique. Thanks Tommy. Loved the old pictures from San Abgelo too.

Maybe H-D put twice as heavy oil in only one fork leg and the weight of the boot counters the balance on the other side. The clear bodied Lectron carb is nearly invisable to the untrained eye. The clever use of a Tesla plasma coil to transmit to t...
