My brother has finally finished his Ossa MAR project...he built the frame, exhaust from scratch. Just needs a bash plate. The gold rims are from my XT 600....laced to Ossa hubs. The frame geometry was designed to fit his 6'-2" stature & I'm sure he can't wait to ride this beast once he gets home from Fire duty @ work. He amazes me with his mad skillz....Being a helicopter crew chief, he's a helluva wrench!

Did plenty of that last night... Enjoying some brilliant weather today whilst I recover...

Gotta finish a drawing that I started last night for my MetalFab mate....who I haven't heard from since Feb. Then out this afternoon w/ the Mrs. to some friends' place for dinner. Waiting for this south wind to finish bringing down the leaves so I can break out the leaf blower (Industrial Hairdryer) & my brand new strimmer for a yardwork session. Lovely weather we're having right now so a Ride is definitely in the cards.

Looks like a nice day for a spin w/ your mates @Saul....

About the same Rule-F*ckery I get for posting MY bike....even though it's got 2-Wheels & a motor....it' all because it's got pedals instead of foot pegs. Oh well...I did all y'all a favor & banned myself. I'm quite content w/ just Riding in areas that you wish were in.

Sounds like the dumb-ass hunters that reside in a larger city.... you never see hunters where I live now- wearing those day glow vests...strictly camo. & alot of them are bow hunting this month. Venison's great but you haven't lived until you've had Elk or Buffalo!

Nice Trumpet....interesting pipe.

Awesome pics & report again Eric!

Are you kidding?.....had him on speed-dial...lol Funny enough, my brother back then looked just like Shaggy....scruffy bastard w/ a Husky dog about the same size as Scoob.

You know it!.... was an absolute pleasure to work on when it came time for servicing. I had a single car garage @ the time....that was full of Motorcycles, so had to do it all outside in the elements....but was NO problem w/ the motor in between the front seats....just take the lid off the hinged "dogbox" & have full access. I even fit a fresh set of rings & a rebuilt cylinder head all from inside the van. The driveshaft was only 30" long between a 3-speed manual gearbox & a 12 bolt differential rear end. I would take my son skiing for his birthday every Jan. & it was like a rolling locker....just throw all the gear in & GO--

I used to have a '67 Chevy van.... I lined it myself w/ insulation & carpet. 90" wheelbase made it easy to park it just about anywhere. Did plenty of Riding, Camping & Skiing with it....had a 4.8 ltr. IL6 that was bulletproof....Still miss that old Beast. Not mine, but looked quite similar....

Great report @Pedro....those smokey sky's are no fun....we see them here every summer.

Nice collection of hardware there Dave..... that 400 is a peach of an RD....

There's a market I pass by twice a week that serves a Cheeseburger soup.... the stuff is the Bomb!.....So tasty! Don't knock it till you try it....

Probably not.....but I bet it woulda ended up some sort of "Bob Approved" Maico red....

Back from camping yesterday....view out the back of our site....

The Mrs. & I will be fine tuning the ergo's on her trike today....& then possibly a Ride on this optimum-weather day. Then prepping for our 2-night camping trip beginning on Monday....Destination here:

Thunder & Lightning here last night....fortunately things didn't get too wet.... just gotta finish repairing the tent for our up-coming camping trip on Monday.

Hard to say for sure.... maybe he's just hiding on the underside of that flat Earth theory?....

I used to ride anytime, anywhere, & in any weather condition....TBH- I still miss that @ times. But I think I'm along the same lines as Fred....when the conditions are right, riding at night can be quite pleasurable.

I can relate Bob....our pear tree has virtually NO produce this year....& very little on the Italian plumb trees. It was a Bumper crop last year, too bleedin' hot this summer w/ minimal rain in the spring....

Was out for a kwik spin on the bike this morning....back down Clark creek road....came around a corner & a rabbit jumped out in front of me, crossed the road & was sprinting down the opposite shoulder. I was maintaining 26mph & was NOT catching him....Swift little bugger!

Made it to Jubilee lake on Monday.....drove 10 miles of absolute dry washboard-rippled gravel road....rattle your fillings loose!! Lost 2 oars off my boat trailer that I didn't realize. Then the trailer tongue unhitched itself & was hanging by the safety chain...lucky I didn't loose it. Got the 2 oars back from a top bloke who was following us. So we get there, found our reserved campsite, get set up....Nice weather....few hours later a gnarly thunderstorm rolled in & proceeded to dump on what seemed like- right over the top of us for most of the night. Our deluxe tall air mattress went flat, & the tent canopy had found it's water-proofing limit, so needless to say....got up & decided: Had enough of the sh*t! Sometimes I have a hard time facing the "AGE" factor in my life....things hurt alot more than they used to. Did manage to snap a few pics of the lake before we took a shorter & overall smoother way home that will be the norm in future.... Local Fish hatchery we passed above on the back.... Got 2 weeks now to get everything dried out & back into working order....taking the boat to Wallowa lake that trip-- best time of year to go...NO tourists w/ noisy kids!...the place just empties out!

Have a Geat trip @Pedro!!.... You know Pete would be pissin' & moanin' all over this!....Lol

Nice collection of 2-Wheeled hardware.....
