Famous people who died on a motorcycle; First example didn't actually die on a motorcycle.

Heard the train at my house when I was getting ready and rode like a crazy person to catch it. #dirtbike #arizona #dirtbikes #yz #buyshanegas #desert

I have not been paying attention in the school of life.

First ride video I ever made.

[buyshanegas]

I was able to get a license plate on a Yamaha YZ426F and it has proven to be a great dual sport for desert riding. Honestly a motocross bike is a bad platform for street-legal; First gear is too tall and 5th gear is too low. I have a WR trans I'll eventually put in when I replace the crank. I call this bike Theseus, because almost every part has been replaced over the years. Eventually I'll have to get something with electric start but for now this is my favorite bike. When I was a kid I always got harassed by the local Sherriff when I rode my dirt bike around the suburbs, so it being a YZ I can ride anywhere is a very me-specific joy. Sometimes you make choices for emotional reasons, not logical ones, and this bike is a good example. You can't do street legal conversions like this in California anymore, so I'll probably never sell my girl. You can bury me with this bike that would be fine.

Guy brain overload.

My buddy came to visit and we raced mini bikes so I made this silly video.

I am hoping the dribbling carb can get a fix sith the rebuild kit.

Spark arrestor screen exploded on the Yz426f. I put an FMF Powere Core on.

[buyshanegas]

Changed the plug while the YZ400F was apart. I changed the oil, the clutch plates, the cables, topped off the brake fluid, and installed new grips. The carb immediately dumped gas everywhere and the clutch do seem right . Shit.

The pre-oiled filters can be reused but they don’t last.
