I hosted Steve Metz as part of a ~10 person group ride yesterday on ACH/AFH/Mt. Emma/etc out to Wrightwood yesterday and there were some weird vibes from the general riding public. Lots of people going way too fast for the conditions and there were apparently four accidents that required EMS - one was right where ACH starts so we were ordered to find a different route by the police and we backtracked to Big Tujunga.

We took it easy because we had to make sure we were safe to race AHRMA at Barber this week but it was a little surreal. I tried to film a video of everyone on the group ride going through a tunnel for some audio goodness but people were making dangerous passes - wait for the last clip for the craziest one, someone went into the wrong lane going into a blind corner!

I guess the only redeeming thing is that all the bikes going through the tunnel sounded great, so here’s a few clips of the madness. I wanted to run a sound comparison for you to vote on like the last video but this one got blown up by randos who were making dumb passes, sorry.

Bonus points to Mutlu Mike Sivrican for his Ducati Streetfighter and Matt Harris for his Honda Hawk which both sounded great!

VyVy Nguyen - this is why I smelled like two-stroke yesterday!

One of the highlights from yesterday’s Two Stroke Extravaganza show was what they call the Smoke Out - at noon, everyone fires their bikes up and it’s a treat for the eyes, ears, and nose...

John Pera steals the show at the beginning with his Moto Rumi that was one of the loudest bikes there, but hopefully you get to see the variety of the sights and sounds that were on display at this year’s show as I walk around. See you there next year!

We’ll have a YouTube video on Iconic Motorbikes coming soon with some interviews of owners and detailed looks at their bikes.

Been a little while since I’ve had a proper ride and due to travel commitments I might not be able to get to Wrightwood again until after the winter so had to make a quick visit this morning.

Found a post office that only accepts cash (I wouldn’t like living in the boonies), a giant pumpkin, and more reasons to both love and dislike my Buell Lightning.

Jens Krüper is kindly going to help (hopefully) address my issues with the front brake, and then it’ll be time for suspension and exhaust.

Thanks to everyone for their advice on this bike so far, it’s been more fun than I expected!

Rennie Scaysbrook - this song choice is for you.

Went to the 2 Stroke Extravaganza today and got to see Brad Peterson, who won Best of Show with his incredible YamahaMotorUSA TZ750.

He drove down from Washington for the show and I’m glad he did because this bike is awesome! I asked him to share a bit about the bike and he was kind enough to fire it up so you hear that glorious exhaust as well, check it out!

I filmed a whole bunch with Attacus for the Iconic YouTube channel and I’ve got a few more reels from today which will all go up on Iconic Motorbikes very soon. What a great event!

We’re headed to the Two-Stroke Extravaganza on Sunday...will you be there?! Here’s a video from the “smoke out” from the last time I went.

It’s now at Daniel Schoenewald’s place (RIP) in Camarillo and his collection will be viewable that day, which is another reason to go as it’s pretty incredible - scroll for a few pictures from a previous visit!

The show starts at 9am and they’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Yamaha RD500. I’m going to meet some friends at the Rock Store at 8:15am and then I’ll lead a fun route to the show that stays off the freeway. Leave a comment if you want to join so I have a head count!

Hope to see you there!

I love owning bikes. I don’t love working on them.

Anyone have a lead on Buell® Motorcycles tank lettering for a Lightning?

Also going to be racing the Kramer Motorcycles USA soon, hope to see a bunch of you at Barber!

Did a little research today for a future Iconic Motorbikes members event - a little “ride and shoot”!

I brought my little R***r 10/22, Nick brought…bigger stuff, and it was an amazing morning of riding and plinking, plus now I know how we can make an event out of it.

Random bonus - I met someone named Richard who was shooting some Italian reproductions of old muzzle-loaded guns, including 2 “1837” ri**es and a “1815” pistol. He showed me how they all worked and then let me fire the pistol, but he said I had to fire it “pirate style”. Check out the delay between the flint sparking and the actual fire, what a thrill!

In semi-related news, my new-to-me Buell needs an exhaust and better suspension…

Got to test ride a Yamaha OW-01 for the first time yesterday, what a great bike! Still prefer my old RC30 but no complaints about this one, and they only made 500 of them.

I also think I aesthetically prefer the version with sunken-in headlights (like the example in the corner, one we sold at Iconic for $56k), what about you?

Not a bad day when you get to take motorcycling royalty out for an errand to the bank!

Took the BMW HP2 Megamoto out for a lovely ride today with Mutlu Mike Sivrican. Here are my favorite cars/bikes that we encountered!

I’m thinking about a ~250 mile ride tomorrow morning (headed east to Redlands) if anyone wants to join. Hit me up!

Sound check time on my new-to-me Buell XB12S Lightning!

As you can probably tell, it has the stock exhaust. I think this bike needs a little extra oomph in the sound department considering how aggressive it looks. My gut reaction is to get a Drummer SS (if they’re even still available) but if anyone has suggestions for a Buell exhaust I would LOVE to hear them!

Just know that I don’t want something obnoxiously loud, I’d like to still be friendly with my neighbors...
