Thanks - If I remember it is a 1958 ? Raleigh - got it att Rhinebeck show last year , tore it al down, cleaned it up, replaced the cables and got it running, took it back this year to show it off.I actually found a set of NOS engine gaskets for it on that auction site from England.

I just tore down the motor on a 37 Junior Scout today , boreing it out from a 30.50 to a 37 cu.in - doesn't sound like much but will be like night and day as far as performance when done.

2001 kx 100
its a little bike, and Im like 6'2" lol. I traded my 82 Honda magna street bike for it... (I thought I would love and totaly use a street bike, but the magna was more than I expected, but realy, the feel of it, just wasnt naturaly or comfortable to me.. the handle bars curved in, you sit back and like in a chair.. Im used to quads and dirt bikes, sittin on the tank, balls to the wall. leaning forward, arms out to the sides... Its a grat bike, just not for me.. and I had no interest in modding it.)

I have a 92 warrior quad, bought it, rode it for about 10-15 mins.. bolt on the camm sprocket backe off, went wobbly, ripped out a chunk of the camshaft etc. New cam (Stage 1 cam was 10$ cheaper than OEM cam, and no springs or valves etc changing,) fixed her up, got a year outta it.

Now its blowed up again. so last spring I traded the magna for the 100kx, jsut so I had something to ride.. :D

its a great bike, but after 5 rides, im already looking for that next gear, more speed. Its got lotsa jam. all done up as much as you can. so I Plan to trade the kx for a bigger bike ext spring when I get my income tax return. the problem is, I :censored: love the 2 smokers, the way they respond, te way the just "in your face go" .. but i'd also like something to run on the streets. sooo..
do i get a bigger 2 stroke, or do I get an enduro? or maybe, a street legal dirt bike, and swap in a 2 stroke engine... ? O.o

Or, there are ways to beat teh system and put a 2 stroke race dirt bike ont he street... kinda a hassle tho... lol

I think i just need to go test drive some stuff n see...

its just I do alot of trail riding more than anything, but it would be nice to jsut hop on the bike and go to the trails, or use for back n forth to work, or jsut general go whereever I want whenever I want kinda thing...

canada needs to lighten up and allow quads to be street legal like in europe etc... lol




heres a slide show vid I did a year or two ago.. the green KX is now mine, this is before I owned it.

the blue n white warrior (Quad) is mine. you can see its progression, tear down and restoration etc... if nothing else, the 2 songs are great. and theres plenty of pics of trips out on the trails and such... lol

and heres a walk around of the Magna, with one of my kids sittin on it... lol

EDIT: I got more pics etc, I just cant find em atm, need to to upload em before i can share em.. lol

Edit again: Found pics:

I see there have not been any new postings but thought I would at least reply to the great pic of members bikes, nice to see two wheels to. Soon as I get a device to take pictures I will try to post some, my daily ride is a 1948 Indian Chief ride to live live to ride.
