Yamaha XS description
Up for auction is my beloved XS. I have owned this bike for 18 years and the time has come to part ways. It was built to its current state last fall by me. Taken completely down to the frame, and built correctly, with an aim toward riding it a lot. I currently drive it 40 miles each way to work daily, and it's been trouble free. In 18 years, it's never left me stranded. Heres what was done: Motor taken down and gone over, New rings, timing chain, all new gaskets and seals, new sump filter, new one piece clutch pushrod, new front sprocket. Frame was completely inspected and visible ugly welds were ground and had nice weld passes laid down. Custom rear fender struts support a cut sportster rear fender.Stainless brake line. Custom Chrome master cylinder. Custom made handlebars. TC Brothers Choppers forward controls and side mount license plate with Model A LED light. Engine painted with ceramic, pipes professionally ceramic coated. Wheels powdercoated and laced with stainless spokes. Runs strong and with shorty pipes, it has quite a bark when you're ripping down the street. You will get more attention on this bike than you can imagine. Stopping for gas means someone will be checking it out every time. Kickstart only. This bike is just the basics. Raw and simple. Hidden switches for the ignition and lights. The key is used to open the gas tank and lock the forks when parked.

Yamaha Champions Riding School August Update
Tue, 05 Aug 2014Our friends at the Yamaha Champions Riding School have been busy lately. Since moving to New Jersey Motorsports park in April, traffic has steadily risen, with June being sold out and July not far behind. August is very promising with some new ideas (one-day clinics to bring a more economical program to a larger group of riders) being inserted into the mix as well as a normal two-day school at the end of the month, which is already 80% full thanks to the yearly visit from the engineering department of Harley Davidson. Following August YCRS will have two schools the week directly after the AMA Pro races at NJMP.
AMA Superbike: 2012 Daytona Results
Tue, 20 Mar 2012Josh Hayes and Blake Young picked things up where they left off by trading wins at the 2012 season-opening AMA Superbike round at Daytona International Speedway. Reigning champion Hayes of Monster Energy Graves Yamaha took the first race handily, leading almost right from the start of the 15-lap race for the win. Yoshimura Suzuki’s Young, who finished second to Hayes in the 2011 AMA Superbike Championship, responded by taking the second race, but only by a slim 0.002-second margin.
You. Call. That. Lean
Fri, 14 May 2010Jean Philippe Ruggia, 1988, Coppice at Donington Park, Sonauto-Yamaha 250. This is elbow lean action. There was a previous blog entry of Ben Spies and his elbow grazing the tarmac onboard the M1 Yamaha, I admit it is impressive but I find myself admiring the horizontal angles that Ruggia submitted his 250 Yamaha to, with the above image taken at Coppice as a prime example.
