ClevelandMoto 113 Vintage Motorcycle podcast is going to the IMS motorcycle show...again. Jan 15, 2016

Show notes

It's warm in Cleveland...for a little while at least. I'm apologizing now for the Old-Timey Radio Voices...I know it gets old quick: http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2015/06/that-weirdo-announcer-voice-accent-where-it-came-from-and-why-it-went-away/395141/ Here's where to get more info about the Ohio Motorcycle Show at the IX Center. http://www.motorcycleshows.com/city/ohio Look at me! I'm riding a Harley Davidson... Look at me! I'm riding an electric Harley Davidson... Look at me...I'm riding a Dryer. And having the exact same experience. This is a Ural Deco - Notice the lack of an Earles front fork. This is a Ural with the proper Earles Front fork. This is the BMW R1200C-LC It actually stands for Cruiser Luxury Custom Here's one that saw itself in a mirror and promptly killed itself. R1200C in the only way it's acceptable. The Drunken Scotsman Song...don't ever, EVER let me drive after you hear me sing this song....take my keys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoUV5d09JZw Yes, I bought this.... 1977 Yamaha XS650 Grape Chopper... I guess I'm gonna have to start listening to the Insane Clown Posse.

ClevelandMoto 100 - yeah we know there have been a few others, but this is the 100th "regular" podcast. Vintage Motorcycle cafe racer goodness Jan 08, 2016

Show notes

Our Aprilia Mana 850 GT gets the full adventure / touring treatment This is what happens when an unlimited budget happens to a Honda VT750 Shadow. Can I have a discount? Ram Mount or Scam Mount? Which would you choose? The Ram Mount with the bracket that will mount it to the top of your master cylinder AND the clamps for your handlebars (so it goes BOTH ways!) $50 or so. GreatShield Bicycle Mount for your Phone / GPS around $20 or so. Since I'm not willing to replace ANOTHER iphone, I'm going with the Ram Mount. Scala Rider? Not here, I've been using this JBL/LG bluetooth wireless headset for a few months now and I really like it, Even Siri approves and seems to work well. No learning curve and it works with every helmet I own. Above is the $400 Bell Bullitt This is the Biltwell Gringo S $200 - Guess which one is a LOT quieter. Yep, those 4 little button shaped vents on the Bullitt make a ton of noise.

Clevelandmoto 105 - Removing Ethanol - Diabeetus - Military Bikes - Epoxy - Vintage Motorcycle Chat Jan 08, 2016

Show notes

Removing Ethanol from gasoline, the proper way to clean a carb, and prepping for winter. http://www.ozebook.com/guzzi/3x3.htm Yep, Guzzi made Army Tractors. and they were 3 wheel drive too. Harley Davidson MT500 - that didn't become the official US military motorcycle The Kawasaki KLX250 that DID become the Official US Military Motorcycle Eventually they opted for the KLR650 designated as the M1030B1 - Gas powered (as god intended). Then in the interest of NOT having a bunch of bullet un-friendly gasoline on the battlefield, they decided to go Diesel. Despite every ass-hat on the planet thinking they want one (I'm sick of hearing it already) the project failed and they all essentially died a horrible death. So there...quit talking about it. It was such a disaster Hayes Diversified Technologies doesn't even exist anymore. Nuff said. If you want a diesel motorcycle, you're not fascinating or clever or the first person to think about it. Even these guys couldn't make it work. Diaphragm Carbs - Yep, you're boned. You can't fix it, you're gonna have to buy another one. You know who you are...I've been to your website...you totally did this just to move that thing along on Craigslist...you're the devil and you should be punished. Oh, then I found a website that claims to make rebuild kits for these things. http://jbmindustries.com/Keihin_diaphragm.html EPOXY FOR EMERGENCY PURPOSES ONLY - srsly. De-Ethanol Your Gasoline!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsCGSUO-5JU USE THIS LINK TO FIND NON-ETHANOL FUEL: http://pure-gas.org/ Here's the whole article on how to make it happen: http://www.mcnews.com/mcn/technical/2012decethanol.pdf

ClevelandMoto 104 - Lithiums, Wheelies and Dustin coughs up a lung. Vintage motorcycle power talk Jan 08, 2016

Show notes

Lithium Batteries - can they really take the POWER that your bike is putting out? Optimate makes an excellent device for checking your battery in both a running and cranking state, and it's not expensive. For $39 you can buy this guage and eliminate all doubt. If you want a Charger you can use on just about any battery, I strongly recommend the Optimate 4 for Non-commercial use. This will resurrect a battery that is on the way out. Charging at over 14.4 Volts ? Even for a little while? OUTLAW RIDAZ - Here's an article from the Cleveland Scene Magazine: http://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/on-the-road-with-the-wheelie-kings-of-cleveland/Content?oid=4572106 OPERATION RABBIT hopes to curb their enthusiasms... http://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2015/09/29/operation-rabbit-attempts-to-crack-down-on-cleveland-dirt-bikers

ClevelandMoto 103 - Love Affairs - Check Engine - Vintage Motorcycles and men who love them. Jan 08, 2016

Show notes

We go around the room and each discuss a bike we love and a bike we hate and the reasons why for each. What do you do when you see the word URGENT along with a Check engine or Warning light? Johnny Chrome What is your FAVORITE motorcycle? He's sticking to what he actually owns - Any shovelhead 4 speed with a swingarm. It's a pretty versatile machine....you could do what you see up there or down here.... What does Johnny Chrome Hate? Anything from China apparently: But he also doesn't care much for the Yamaha GTS1000 with the trick center hub steering... Steve really, really loves the BMW R5 - Yep, we completely agree with you; But, he also LOVES himself a PC800 (so do I) What does Steve hate....? This oughta be good..... Honda CM400C - yep, for all the reasons listed...The CX650C is pretty awful too. Chris Smith cheated and brought a whole list Mrs. Smith grabbed off the internet...but what is worthy on the list is the Gilera Rondine Supercharged What do you hate, Chris? The Suzuki / Wankel Rotary RE5 Dustin LOVES - LOVES - LOVES: The Honda GT650 Hawk And he absolutely HATES the Misfit 250: With a runner up being ANY Sportster !?!? C'mon...even this one.... It's pretty cool - Phil's Favorite Motorcycle is: The KJ Henderson Art Deco from 1936 My Least favorite Motorcycle is the Yamaha Venture Royal Star - Ever wonder where the name Royal Star came from? Well, this is it. I HATE THIS MOTORCYCLE. Paul Smart Replica Ducatis are Lovely, but they hurt my body. I've learned that my practical favorite bike is the one already in my Garage....I love my GB500 Dustin and I are in agreement that a rational bike to lust after is the Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 in the Tenni Livery:

Show notes

Chatting about the Zainesville Guzzi Meet and tips on touring. SQUIRREL!!! Is this a good deal or an albatross of parts? How much rain can you handle? Is this what you need to keep dry? Or are you further off with something more reasonable like this? The Bates Clipper Fairing The Vetter Liberator Fairing Cops shouldn't be allowed to pull over scooters with a milk crate on the back!

ClevelandMoto 101 - Vintage motorcycle or vintage looking motorcycle - Jan 08, 2016

Show notes

Is riding a vintage bike for you or should you just go with a vintage looking bike.? Bay River Avon Skin Heads - McElfresh models it well. http://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/5158479073.html Rare (not many of them here) does not Equal Valuable. $8800 on Craigslist. This is our friend Gene, and he's got a damn good point about how something is built is more important than where it comes from. You should buy things from him. He's a straight up dude, and won't waste your time. http://scootersoriginali.com So, would you ride a Chinese Motorcycle? What if it looked like this?
