Hardly....he's DirtBike royalty...nothin' short of it.

Been labeled as a Potcher by Pete over the years.... but again, thats coming from a guy who has a definite spanner-phobia....

You can almost smell this one....

Not my favorite either Bob....but the machine looks like it'd be riot to blitz through the twisties with.

From a Greek friend's garage....where they are XT mad.

Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do....

Exactly....just a play bike for him to enjoy out it the wide open spaces of Texas where he resides. He's spent the last 3+ yrs. getting his Peruvian wife here legally...who also rides bikes....& has rounded up the parts to build her one as well. I've known the guy his whole life & have never seen him happier!

My brother who's quite an accomplished spanner twirler as he's a helicopter crew chief....is also an avid spanish motorcycle fan. He's had a handful of Bultacos in the past & nowadays he's been building an Ossa 250 trials bike from scratch. Customized to fit his 6'-2" frame & following along the lines of a Mick Andrews replica. He just sent me this pic of his work in progress....I might add that he built the frame, airbox, kick start lever & pipe(next on the task list) himself, which is a pretty light package....& those gold wheels are the stock rims from my XT6 SuMo. He amazes me with his mad skills...

1977 Formula 750 Champion....

From a brilliant day @ Wallowa lake.... Got this one framed & on the living room wall.

Motus V4

Tried to pull the truck outta the carport this morning to finish filling the bed up w/ yard debris....battery was completely flat....put a meter on it to see how bad it was...Flat 00.0- dead as a door nail. Drove down to La Grande & scored a battery @ WalMart for $140...finished loading yard debris to take to the dump tomorrow morning. Tonight is date night....Tequila is on the agenda. Definitely Riding on Saturday...probably farther out on Clark Creek.

Thats a damn good question!...lol At 1st I thought it might be a Life-Flight helicopter....but then it could be just a fly on the Google camera....lol That's a hill heading south outta Elgin that I drive @ least twice a week....it's known as "Hamburger Hill"...for the deer that like to cross near the top....seen a coupla close calls before as some folks (myself included) get going up to 70 mph to get by the Trucks...hence the passing lane.

SlideBoy McCoy on my favorite Yamaha....

All the Liberal JackAss' that have moved to the west side from every other state in the country....bunch of brainwashed idiots that can't think for themselves & believe every lie our F'd up government feeds 'em.

280 miles....these days I'm only interested in anything east from here. I'm absolutely done with the west side! Pretty sure that OR alone is about the same size as the UK.

Zoom out & keep heading east....it just keeps getting better...all the way to Montana.

In 2016, a good friend of mine took me with him on his vacation to the NE corner of OR...I fell in love with the place! My property taxes going through the roof in Portland...So I spent the next 2 yrs. hunting down an affordable residence on the east side of the state. When we decided to sell, I went & bought a $5 For Sale sign....put it up in the front yard....5 minutes later, the next door neighbor came over asking if we'd take down the sign & they came over the next day w/ their realtor & we sold it for enough dosh to pay it off....buy this place here in Elgin....pay it off...& still have enough stash to pay the property taxes here, which were 1/3rd of what I was paying in Portland. Smartest thing I've ever done....love it here more everyday! Besides, the whole left side of OR has turned into an absolute over-populated Sh*tHole...especially the Portland area. Night & Day difference to where I live now.

Gone too soon...
