Glenn Stucker's RM250
Hi Paul, I've dug up a few pictures of the old 1989 RM250K - my first MX race machine. I raced outlaw MX on the dual-carbed 1983 XR500R up in Indiana (ported head, Mugen cam, White Bros exhaust and Sidewinder sprocket) before that .... until I blew it up 3x in one summer. Decided a 2-stroke would handle the abuse I was giving the engine a little better! :) Wished I had kept that bike now, and the XR350, and the DT175, and the SL70, and the Z50, end the ......you know the deal. Great bikes and great memories all of them. That's why I finally decided that at least the RM250 wasn't going to be sold or ridden into the ground like the others.
Hope you enjoy the pictures Paul. -Glenn
**left-side kickers!!!! I forgot about those....
Nak's RX7 Project Yeah...I know it's not a bike but this is my site and this thing is wicked!
Hello Paul, I attached some rough pics of the motor after painting of the iron housings and polishing of the aluminum housings. We just staged the upper and lower intakes on there to see how it would look. I will be polishing the intake manifold this weekend and get some better pics. Thanks, Nak
editor: I cleaned the primary components to this wicked looking Wankel for Nak with the ultrasonic cleaner. I am hoping he sends me pics of it completed and then pics of the car.
Eric's CB100
Here's the email and pics I got from Eric. Thanks a lot for the update Eric! Hey Paul,
I bought a 1972 cb100 from you a couple months ago. I've done the basic maintenance items and have been riding it all summer. Thank you so much for passing this beautiful piece of history on to me. Right now its going about 60mph tops and gets about 85mph. I've been taking it 22 miles each way to work and have put on about 1500 miles on it since I got it from you mid summer. I now plan on towing it behind my little Saturn in a trailer when I move out to California in a month. Remember loading it in the trunk? Ha ha anyways, see the pics attached. Thanks!

Skyler's 360
Skyler brought me his engine to check timing but I didn't have to do anything because he had already timed it correctly. Nice little ride Skyler. You'll have to run it by my place for a closer look. New Hampshire

Paul's Bike
And here is a pic of my last project. A nice and authentic Honda CA160. Rebuilt motor and original paint. Couldn't bring myself to paint it. It just wanted to be rode. I wish I still had it. Editor - Paul Koehler Note this is no longer my last bike project. :)
Jake's unique rides
Hey Paul Ebay would not let me send the pics (too big) Thanks for passing my info on to the guy that is buying the bike! Here is a couple pics of my Speedway Scarab and two of my Speedway snowmobiles. The first of the two sleds is my 1972 Speedway 440 show sled and the second one is of my 1972 drag sled.

Mike's rides.
Hi paul,
Here's a few pics of my latest projects. Checked out your website, looks good. Gotta put one up myself, got some parts to get rid of to earn some more cash to spend.
1st pic 1978 CX500custom .. the Vetter fairing and bags were originally installed on the bike at the time of the sale . I picked it up for $100. after it had sat for 7 years and sold it in April after riding it for 2 years myself .. kinda miss it.
2nd pic is that 1982 SilverWing we spoke about on the phone, I picked it up right before I sold the CX. I paid $150. for it hadn't run in 5 years. I sold that lat week.
3rd pic is my current ride/project 1978 GL1000, paid $150 for it, hadn't run since 1982. It's running, registered and inspected; but I just blew the rear brake master and am awaiting a rebuild kit.
Mike New Hampshire Awesome bikes Mike. Love the SilverWing. Paul
Here is Joe Berte's nice rides!
Hi Paul, Nice hearing from you here's a couple pictures. Not the greatest but good for now. I have some other bikes also. Keep up the good work, I'll call when I do my friends LTD which needs carbs cleaned. Thanks, Joe
Model 27 Bultaco
Here is one of John's 'Tacos. I tried unsuccessfully to trade him a bent Akront for it. I wonder what "LOL" means? He is looking for correct parts for it, tank, seat, side covers etc.
This bike had the second worst carbs I've ever torn in to!
Robert Lucas sent me his set of carbs to tear down and clean. I looked at them when I opened the box and thought, "This'll be an easy little set". Man was i surprised when I popped the float bowls, or should I say pryed them off. See the pics of what I found. I'll put the clean pics up later. Robert's bike was in a magazine a few years back. I don't have the full story or it's make yet but when I do I'll update this post. See the pics he sent me.
Update. Here's the email Robert sent me concerning the bike: Hi Paul~My Bike was just issued in last months issue of the horse magazine with a diffent set of carbs on it(It will not run with choke off)~So they did not work so it just sits there~I sent you the other set to clean and put on my bike to run properly~I wanna drive it~Everything else is finnished an legal to take anyware but do to faulty carbs I cannot~Thanks again Paul~Sinecrely Rob lucas Illinois
I forgot to take the clean pics.
Grahame's bike in Australia - 84/85 Husqvarna 510 TE

Thanks again.

Harald's Bike collection in Germany
Hello Paul, the fork arrived this week, changed both springs and applied the dust boots, perfect! Enclosed you find some fotos just taken this morning! CR 450 Elsinore 1981 with CR 480 1982 motor, gastank and seat; CR 250 1982.
Some projects of the last years. This was, for example, what I bought as a CR 450, motor 480 passably rest complete crap. Subsequently collected all missing or damaged parts - most from the US -carefully completed and reassembled, the result youve seen above, with intention not fully restored but very authentic now.
Other vintage bikes are Kawasaki KE 175 1979, XT 500 1982, DT 250 1979 and some smaller German stuff (NSU Quickly 1966, Kreidler Florett 5 speed 1967, Zündapp C 50 1971, Kreidler motorized bicycle 1972), missing is my DT 400 1979.
Finally a picture of myself on a test ride with a self developed fuel supply system; enhances the operating distance dramatically! Thank you for the familiar contact. regards Harald
Here's the bikes my buddy Dave is working on.
The Rokon is my favorite. The Elsinore is a a complete restore that he has been working on and is almost complete. The mini is a Speedway. Awesome bikes Dave! New Hampshire
