My Dad (75) has finally been test riding the bike he has designed and built over the last 15 years.
-full custom frame, full custom carbon (the nose piece was just molded),bored, tuned, and turbocharged Hyabusa!
The Nagual
(Mesoamerican Sorcerer)
-he’s got a proposal out to Horacio Pagani, who he met with this summer
Fingers Crossed

Impressive looking custom build.

Thanks. 2023 w 700 miles, $4500.
^DeathVan, I rode a buddies Hyabusa that was setup for drag racing and the salt flats and it scared the hell out of me... I can't imagine riding that bike.
^^^Seems like a pretty good deal on that Yamaha, and wow does that Nagual look very intimidating!
Few shots of clearing the Crane Mountain National Recreation Trail, which makes up the southernmost portion of the Oregon Timber Trail (which is the Orogenesis route through Oregon). Made it all the way to the Modoc NF - we cut about 300 trees out of the trail across three days. The southern section of the trail, from Crane Mountain summit to the California border, is motorized.
Took the little saw on day 3, after hiking the first two days with the 462.
Obligatory selfie at the southern start of the Oregon Timber Trail (in California).
Aaaand welcome back to Oregon.
Just in time for the snow to start flying. Crane Mountain tops out at over 8400'. First time since 2017 that this entire 36 mile trail has been clear to ride!
I've ridden bikes all of my life (well 50 of my 63 years). I am not ashamed to say I would be very afraid to ride that bike. A thing of beauty and power no doubt. But jebus... 600 ponies. Seriously, would you have to have a racing background to even consider jumping on that beast?

This is OUR mountain - come join us!
DV - Fucking Wow!!!
My first thought is we need a pic of yer Dad cuz anyone spends 15 years building that work of art and science needs recognition and props.
I would ride that. Doubt I'd get outta third, and NOT doing a hundo in 2. Fuuuuck
I bet it's smooth as silk and accelerates scarily.
If you take it to Bonneville, please post up here prior. I'd ride down just to enjoy the experience. Maybe take 2 laps on my bike.
It's a FE350s. Similar to the KTM EXC-F (different rear suspension). Been really happy with it, but don't ride enough.
So you decided to go ride instead of skiing the corn with several hundred of my friends?CK
Also first ride of 2025 today. Found snow around 4600' so had to turn around. Really nice out though and felt good to get back on the moto.
The snow’s pretty shitty in NM, and the riding weather’s pretty good so…I’m out and about.
Been riding steadily, both dirt and highway, got a 500 sport bike for track use. We were out in the Pioneers today, and the flowers are going off. Saw an elk herd, sage hen, and owl capture and fly off w snake, and some other raptors.
