Purge!!

I now have no motorcycles. I sold two in one week, and the triumph went awhile before that. Why would someone with a blog called 'two wheels are better' sell all his motorcycles? Because he needed money for one particular motorcycle, and he also is thinking focus is important. Too many things to fix, too many projects, too many things to ride, too much. So I figured whittle it down, it's hard enough to find time, so I'll just focus on supemoto while I can. It's been years since I didn't own a street bike, but it's also been years since I rode a motocross bike, and I feel like soon I'll be too old to do it at all (pretty much too late already, haha), so better to do it now. I can ride around on a touring bike in a few years. BTW ignore that post below about not racing anymore and just getting a Vespa. Got a hitch installed, it was a hassle, but was do-able.

I'll be getting a Honda CRF450r and converting that for supermoto. I'll blog about the bike and the conversion process here. I'll also post about the track days and the experience of racing supermoto as a novice in the Northeast. Looking forward to it - hope I don't crash and hurt myself and take myself out for the entire season again, as with last year. (It was the guy who was leaking oil's fault!).

It Is About Time!

For another post, but it's still kinda too cold to ride and talk motorcycles. New track days are posted for ESMRA (Eastern Supermoto Racing Association). That's good and all...but not sure I can handle the hassle! Been toying with the idea that maybe something like a Vespa would just make things easier. Scoot it. Supermoto this year will require installing a trailer hitch on the C30, something that isn't do-able yet in the US. The Euros, in their infinite wisdom, have been hooking trailers on these things for years. But we're a little slower here. So I will need to drill holes in the new car myself, to install the hitch/tow bar. Then I will have to wire it myself from the car's batter, as US Volvo dealers have been told not to activate the hitch lighting. Jesus. Not sure I'm digging that. Then of course finish off the trailer, get the bike sorted (or get a Honda CRF like most at the track), and go once a month. That once a month thing is the killer - you miss one track day and you are out of luck for awhile. So much depends on getting there that one long weekend. Least at a motocross track you can show up any weekend. Or just get on a normal street bike and take a ride to get some coffee. ha, yes, maybe it's just a mood today. The Vespa above looks dope as hell, no? 300cc Super. Cool.
