 Read this first please:
* It will not pass valley emissions as currently built.
* It's a Samurai so it's small and a tight fit for two large people.
* It's a 1300 so while it's got more power than a stock Samurai it's not going anywhere fast.
* It's 25+ years old so it needs an owner who can turn wrench on occasion.

Odometer reads 53K miles (actually 153K miles). Runs very good, stronger than stock.

It has a handful of minor things that need to be taken care of to make it 100%.
*Wheel is slightly off-set, the drop pittman arm will center the wheel,  Tracks and brakes straight.
*There is an occasional oil drip - I believe from the rear main seal, I made a mistake when I installed it.
*The passenger fender wheel had rust due to a battery overflow.  It's been repaired but if I were to keep the rig I'd replace the fender eventually.
*The filler bung on the transfer case looks to have been weld repaired.  It will on occasion leak a drop of transmission fluid.
*The air-conditioning was removed, there are two holes in the passenger floorboard where the hoses used to be.
*A couple of other small things but it's a 25 year old vehicle.

Lots of extras, including take off parts, assembly tools, shop manual, many build photos, documentation, etc.

No warranties; sold as is. $500.00 non-refundable deposit due within 24 hours of close of the auction.  Buyer is responsible for making all arrangements to pick up the vehicle, shipping, etc.  I'll help as much as I can on my end, but ultimately the responsibility rests with the buyer.  If you can find a nicer Samurai tin top for this price I strongly recommend you buy it.

Ugly Moto makes beautiful motorcycle art [w/video]

Thu, 08 May 2014

Ugly Moto is a horrible name for a company that makes such wonderful motorcycle art. The creation of artist Francis Ooi, the company's illustrations focus on some of the iconic racing bikes of the 1960s and 1970s.
The artwork has an elegant simplicity that really makes it pop. It would fit just about anywhere from a home office to the bedroom of a young gearhead. Ooi has completed six illustrations so far covering classic cycles from Honda, Ducati, Yamaha and even Harley-Davidson. According to his site, the Suzuki RGB500 ridden by Barry Sheene will be the next one released. All of the prints are priced at $65 and are limited to 100 copies. They are all about 16.53 inches by 23.58 inches in size.
According to his website, these prints are just a hobby for Ooi and his real career is as the creative director at an ad agency. He creates the illustrations on his Mac, and he estimates that each design with about 800 components and layers takes about a month to complete. You can get idea of the process involved in the time-lapse video below.

Land-speed racer Bill Warner dies from motorcycle crash at 285 MPH

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

Motorcycle land-speed record holder Bill Warner died yesterday after crashing during an attempt at setting another record. The 44-year-old was clocked at 285 miles per hour on the runway of a former air base in northern Maine, before he lost control of his modified Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle and veered off the runway.
It is not known what speed he was traveling when things started to go wrong and unclear what caused the crash, which happened shortly before 10:00 AM. Warner's crew suspect there were mechanical difficulties on his last run, in addition to a slight breeze, according to the video news report. Warner was conscious and able to speak after the crash but died an hour and 15 minutes later at a hospital in Caribou. The event and runway were closed for the rest of the day as police investigated the incident.
Warner was participating in "The Maine Event" at Loring Air Force Base in an attempt to reach 300 mph in one mile. Warner's best land-speed record, set in 2011, was 311.945 mph in 1.5 miles on the same runway, according to the Loring Timing Association, a record that still stands today for open-cockpit motorcycles. After that run, Warner said the scariest part was stopping the bike before the end of the runway. Be sure to check out the video news report after the jump.

Mitsubishi CEO vows to stay in US on heels of Suzuki's departure

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

By now, you're surely aware that Suzuki is pulling out of the US market. It was a bit of a foregone conclusion to most who've been paying attention to the automotive realm, but it still sent a small shockwave through the industry. And one of the most oft-heard retorts goes something like this: "Next up: Mitsubishi."
It's easy to understand why many question Mitsubishi's existence in the States. After all, now that Suzuki is gone, Mitsubishi is the Japanese automaker with the fewest sales in America. Furthermore, the automaker's market share has dropped from .7 percent to just .4 percent after seeing sales fall 29 percent to 50,103 units through October.
In any case, Mitsubishi fans needn't worry. Speaking to Automotive News, Mitsubishi President Osamu Masuko said, "We have no intention whatsoever of withdrawing from the US market." That's about as clear as clear can get. It's also worth mentioning that Gayu Uesugi was just named chairman of Mitsubishi Motors North America, and his main responsibility will be to revitalize the brand in the US.
