These aren't mine. Just saw these pop up on eBay. Not sure what the story is. Maybe bikes used in some other project/conversion??? Anyway, just speculation. For those of you that are looking for a full set of plastics, or one of the elusive right-side number plates, or have a cracked...

Question for you suspension gurus out there, since suspension is one of those subjects that make my brain bits all confused. Well, it appears my son has been landing the MX a bit hard. We had mostly been riding trails and hills, which the 4CS suspension handled quite well. But now that he is...

Finally got around to making a video review of the Moto Cinch system. There are a couple old videos from the original Moto Cinch company, but no real in-depth reviews on YouTube that I could find. This might be because the company went out of business for a while, but it looks like a new guy...

Trying out some new foot pegs. Found these Airtime pegs on eBay. They look very similar to the Tusk ones, just a tad cheaper. I wanted to see if these might be direct fit (they are Yamaha pegs). Alas, just like the Tusk pegs, I had to remove a little bit of aluminum to allow the pegs to rotate...

Ok guys, something weird is going on with MultiTool this weekend. (I'm starting a new thread for this.) I've built or rebuilt machines at least half a dozen times over the last couple weeks. So I think I have the process down pretty well, and I have a pretty extensive checklist. I've...

The Tesla of Tractors? Self driving and driver optional? Wonder if they can autonomously groom the MX track? Monarch Tractor Electric Tractor

** UPDATE: The original lot of machines is gone, but I built a few more. Hit me up if interested. *** I've had a few requests to build a couple more machines, so I'm going to accommodate those for now. Got nothing better to do during lockdown, so might as well help out our fellow AOF'ers...

Had a fun riding day at Metcalf Motorcycle Park in San Jose today. It started out pretty foggy, but we saw about as many Altas in one spot as we are bound to see for a while. We ran into a few founders as well. I finally met Derek, Jeff, Nathan, and Derek’s daughter. With their four bikes, my...

Not sure if this one was posted before, but this was a story from last year. Custom Alta Redshift by Walt Siegl - The Bullitt

Saw this bike for sale on a couple sites. Russian, by the looks. The EMAX DWX 25 Electric Enduro Looks Like Tons Of Fun EMAX | Missile EV

Recent spooky sightings. Must be October. Given this is 2020, these hooligans might try to steal my bikes. They look a bit sketchy to me.

Well, this looks completely speculative, but nonetheless intriguing. Anyone up for batteries made out of nuclear waste and turned into diamonds? Sounds a little bit far fetched, but I can see some possibilities in the theory. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves. Nano-diamond self-charging...

While I don't agree with slapping the Mustang badge onto an electric SUV, this particular version is pretty badass. Ford reveals an electric Mustang Mach-E SUV with 1,400 horsepower - CNN

Well, this looks interesting. Hybrid powertrain and an onboard inverter. Not that I'm a big Ford fan, but sounds like they are listening to contractors and even electric motorcycle owners. 2021 Ford F-150 looks nice enough to live in, packs lay-flat seats, generator and hybrid power -...

Well, okay, it was just a ranger. She waved us down, but just wanted to ask about the cool electric bikes.

It is easier to work on the rear brakes and shock if you just open the trunk first! Quite roomy back there. Swapped in a stiffer rear spring. Now I am installing the LHRB kit.

Scanned the installation pamphlet I received with my kickstand.

This is kind of interesting. It was posted on the Sur-ron Owner’s Facebook page. They are adding an electric dirtbike class “kilowatt klass” for sur-ron, kuberg, cake, etc. Looks like Alta and KTM E-XC would race in a Modern Support class. If you are down in SoCal, you should check it out.

Hey Guys, I posted most of this comment in another unrelated thread, but I'm curious about how others haul their Altas too. So, I'll post in this thread as well and expand a few items. Some folks have posted about their moto-van builds and strapless tie-downs and similar. Those are way...

Here is a video I put together on how to connect a multitool laptop to the bike. I don't really go into much detail on how to use Multitool per se, since there is already an excellent video on that topic. This is more about the basics of connecting the cables, why you would want to use...
