A tale of two twins

Those old Honda twins have a very distinctive sound that I recognized instantly after all these decades. Even a megaphone can't hide it.

Andrew, I'm a former GM Service Mgr and have seen just about everything failing at any given time, but a flywheel failure at 65k seems a bit early. What exactly failed, did the teeth come off the starter ring or did the flywheel crack at the crankshaft flange?

And one for Allan!

There were some reports of a potentially blown head gasket, but that seems to be false and the boys are en route!

We have arrived and offloaded. We had some excellent margaritas courtesy of margaritamansd.com and got to meet Scotty Breauxman from Thumpertalk. The bike looks and SOUNDS wicked. People's head were popping out around corners when I rode it around the hotel.


LAMEco is in da house

Give 'em hell boys.

I am following your LAMEco Mexican 1000. Nice pics. Who can let me in so I can respond to your posts?
NORRA site has some interesting updates as well... but the SpotWalla tracker has not budged. Who can update this so your location is accurate?

Rubber side down, have fun!!

Team LAMEco in Mexicali, Baja California early this morning

Hey guys. Did the spot tracker info get posted so we can follow the boys down the peninsula? Wish i could be there but that would be the next best thing right?

Hey Matt, here it is: http://spotwalla.com/locationViewer.php?id=108&p=advmex1k

Notice the hat! Dave Despain just interviewed the guys about the oldest bike in the race!

Hi, Johnny gave me the link for SpotWalla yesterday and I have tried it a few times. 888 is not up to date. I thought I saw a post earlier that someone is going to enable it later today or tomorrow?

Tech inspection passed!

John hands out steeckers.

Allan suffers through some promotional shots.

The bike makes its own friends.

1971, the year of the bike.
