Results- The Bryan and Chris Show
From Sideblog The second Springfield weekend of the year saw Bryan Smith win Kawasaki's second ever National Mile after he won last weekend at Indy. Kawasaki had a great weekend as Wiles won the Singles short track the night before. Chris Carr is showing there is life in the old (er) dog yet. He won the Dash for Cash (for the six fastest qualifiers) just like he did last weekend and came second to Smith, missing the win by less than 5/100s of a second. Mees was third. More on Springfield later.
- The other cool Kawasaki at Indy
From Sideblog From Roger...This is the other cool Kawasaki at Indianapolis for the mile. This bike belongs to a "keep at it because you love it" kinda racer you always root for. Jason Griffin didn't make the 32 rider field at Indy on his Kawasaki, but that's not the point.I've seen him at Lima a few times too. The point is that his right arm is missing other than a bit of a stub. The right sleeve of is leathers is sewn shut after about 4 inches. (Read
- 1978 Kawasaki KZ1000 Limited Project Update
From The Superbike Blog As of tonight, generally all mechanicals are properly sorted and I just have a few electrical issues left to iron out. Namely, there are no leads going to the horn and the speedo light is burned out.So far, this is what I've done (and I solicited my good friend and expert motorcycle mechanic Rodger's help for some of this):1. Carburetors overhauled2. Compression check (all good)3. Generator check (all good)4. Headlight wiring repair5. Tach drive overhaul6. Various refurbishments and replacements7. Frame painted8. Partial engine polishing9. New tubes10. New tires11. New fuel
- Indy Mile photos
From Sideblog Crowd pleasers. Springsteen, Smith, Werner. I hope Kawasaki are giving them some love, because the Green Machine aren't getting many high profile wins elsewhere (Though we know Tom Sykes and Ryan Farquhar are doing the business on ZX-10s).Smith, Carr, Bonsey, Halbert, Johnson. The Dash for Cash. Kopp qualified but didn't start.Nicky Hayden did demo laps on the Lloyd Brothers Ducati 1000cc framer. He's just put in a request for a Sideburn T-shirt. No shit.Right, when was the last time a multi-cylinder Kawasaki won a GNC main?Do anything it takes to

- A Russian Jig Saw Puzzle
From 40 on 2
Photos are clickable and look better full size.
The weather forecast for today was for morning low temp of 80° so I decided to drag myself out of bed early and go for a ride. The bike has been parked for about 3 weeks now, my last ride being a run up to the Kawasaki dealer in Mesa to have a new rear tire fitted (got a Pirelli, works well).
With the temp starting out at 80° I knew the ride
- I must be crazy
From The Superbike Blog And I probably am, but I just couldn't help it. As of two weeks ago, I am the proud owner of a very troublesome 1978 KZ1000 Limited.The photo at right shows the bike on the day I got her. She runs strong, but needed just about everything you'd expect: tires, tubes, paint, lots of engine polishing, new carb kits, some minor electrical work, and a battery. So far, I've taken care of the battery and begun the arduous task of polishing. I repainted the frame myself in gloss black, but

- Joe Bar Bell Star
From Sideblog Christian Debarre's Joe Bar Team comic book came out in 1990 while I was living in Bordeaux. It didn't seem too far off the anti-social and inreverent - but exciting and comic reality, of the café racing scene of Place Victoire and it's environs. The four characters first appeared in strip form in the French bike mag Moto Journal. The Asterix'esque book gained a cult following, but the rights were handed over to another artist for subsequent issues. Now translated into several different languages, this is another must-have for the
- Kopp wins at Lake Odessa, I-96 half-mile but...
From Sideblog Wiles. Very English looking background.Johnson and Kopp.Chris CarrPro Singles styling. 20T Michael LaBelle; 36N Jeremy Hamilton; 91Y Michael Marti.UPDATE: Just noticed a nice variety of front wheels going on here. The outside two are old-style Performance Machine.Kenny CoolbethWiles and Sammy Halbert... Kopp won a Harley, not his Ducati. Smokin' Joe obviously knows what he's on about because on two non-XR750s made it to the main and they were two Kawasakis. Jake Johnson was second, Coolbeth third, Sammy Halbert fourth, his brother Jethro was 11th. Chris Carr had the fastest lap

- Colorado Ride Report Day #4
From Moto Adrenaline June 15th - Day #4 Gunnison Co - Gateway Loop. 397 MilesLast night was another chilly evening. Jamie and I slept in our riding liners and stayed pretty warm, but make no mistake.. that late night potty break was a chilly encounter. We woke up around 7AM to the birds singing and a nice cool breeze blowing. We got together and loaded up for the short 2 mile ride to our breakfast location. We found the greatest little coffee and Bakery in Gunnison. The place was very laid back

- Extra Large Formosa Cover Review
From WhyBike Motorcycle Blog I have always had a fit problem with motorcycle covers. My Givi topcase is the problem. The "universal" cover that fit my V-Star does not fit my Kawasaki, it barely fits over the tail and leaves my whole tire exposed. Formosa Covers recently offered me a cover to try out ...
