Links of Interest

Organizations and Clubs:

American Historic Motorcycle Racing Association

AHRMA North-Atlantic Region - Where I play, check the MX schedule to see if I'm in or away.

American Motorcyclist Association, as much as I like how they support motorcycling as a whole, I no longer support the AMA. When Rob Dingman, AMA President and CEO, decided that one wealthy lawyer and his racing team was more important then the 6,000+ members of AHRMA who love vintage bikes, it was time to cut up the card after 20 years of membership since 1973.

Florida Vintage Motocross - A great bunch to ride with!

Potomac Vintage Riders - The club behind the North-Atlantic MX and XC events.

ACR American Classic Racing - Nice club with many members in the NE.

Cylinder Re-plating - U.S. Chrome - I've had my 78 and 80 cylinders done, both have performed flawlessly. I nearly ruined the cylinder on my 78 by not following their recommendation on carb jetting. After 2 toasted pistons, I got the jetting right after going 3 over on the main and adjusting the needle down.

I offer full service rebuilding and restoration of all twin Fox Shocks, however, I'm not above recommending others, sometimes you may need someone yesterday and finding a local can be a plus. The following have good reputations in the vintage community.
