Northern VA Chatter Thread

You mean to tell me they don't have leather couches, blinking LED accessory advertisements, hot coffee, swag carpeting and 5 figure Bavarian dirt bikes to sit on? Why in the hell would I take my bike there!?!? :eek1

They at least have umbrella girls, don't they?

ah so that's why you do all your work at Rusty Rex garage, Beard keeps the place plush and provides bottomless cups of coffee and donut holes...

To be fair, it is a pretty nice garage.

Wound up rebuilding the Ruckus carb twice last night. Out there till 1:30. oof

Rejetted it leaner but no clue why it was so rich at stock jetting (other than if some PO drilled it out). Any ideas?

That is a relative term here... If we use Dr. Beard as a <----- 5 ------> Khahn would be a???

must have... coffee, tools, roof to cover bike, and passes as mechanic or a good faker

Actually... that would make me a 10

Ahoy NOVA, I'm trying to put together a RTE near the Charlottesville area. It would be a good excuse for y'all to escape the madness of NOVA and come check out some of the beautiful roads in this area. Details can be found HERE.

That sounds like fun. I love that area. If it happens on a day that I can get a away, I will be there.

:eek1

It's the love child of an R1200R and a TW200. Don't stare.

The effort that went into this build has kept me motivated Love the alternator relocation

def interesting build

He converted it from FI to carburetors. Interesting.

I can't look away... I'm planning for that build... well more like a K100 Cafe build in 2014. Who wants to help?

The only thing on it that really bugs me is the front tire. Just too big. Of the original R, not the K bike you posted.

More pics, including design and build shots. It's growing on me I have to say, but I would still go with a slightly bigger front wheel and slightly smaller tire. It looks like a motorcycle by Tonka. Not that that's a bad thing.

Makes me think of this...

For me... needs clip-ons. If you don't lurk... my other, other, other mistress

I like the Versys better. For some reason the Versys headlight cluster works with the chunky front tire for me.

got pictures from george apparently it dropped a valve looks like the top intake valve on the right side from the pictures. I just want my bike back in my garage.
