The BMW 6 Series, which was in production from 1976 to 1989, was known for its sleek and elegant design as a grand touring coupe. Carlex Design, a tuner from Poland, has undertaken the task of enhancing the interior of this classic BMW to create a more luxurious cabin than what was originally available from the factory. They are planning to create seven of these custom cars.
The first completed example is a 1986 635 CSi with a sleek black exterior and a set of multi-spoke wheels. Carlex has chosen to maintain the classic coupe’s sharp exterior styling and has only added their own badges and emblems to the outside.

This was my second race on the Kolbe Can-Am 370 Qualifier in 1979. I had joined the UEA Enduro club and was wearing their colors at this District 37 Enduro. Two weeks earlier, I had broken my ring finger at a desert enduro and had to have it cut off. After that, I stopped wearing my wedding ring while racing.
Ken Zahrt was a So Cal hero, who made waves on the National motocross level. This is 1976 Mammoth Mountain motocross and KZ is Mid Valley Ossa Phantom mounted. And another superb bit of history preserved by Mark Kiel’s camera.

WORKS CONNECTION ’23 YZ450F FORK ADJUSTERS (YZF)
Works Connections’s all-new Fork Adjusters for the ’23 YZ450F are machined from aircraft grade aluminum and replace the stock plastic adjusters. They use a 4-flute design and made them slightly taller to allow for easier adjustments with a more solid detent. Factory look with magnesium color and laser etched +/- markings for reference. The 4-flute design is much easier to use with or without gloves on. It is also easier to gain access to the fork bleeder screw due to the smaller size adjuster. $39.95

It includes two digital indicators to true side- to-side and up-down truing simultaneously providing more precise results. Lightweight, yet rigid, the aluminum frame and axle fits wheels from 16” to 21” with 20mm-30mm axles.

DUNLOP TRAILMAX RAID ADV TIRE
The all-new Dunlop Trailmax Raid is designed for 40% on-road and 60% off-road use, combining expertise and technology from Dunlop’s extensive line of tires. The Trailmax Raid is suitable for a wide range of bikes from mid-size dual sports to large adventure bikes, offering exceptional off-road capabilities paired with outstanding wet weather grip and adventure touring performance.
The Trailmax Raid’s design was inspired by Dunlop’s popular D908RR Rally Raid, a tire designed for aggressive adventure and cross-country conditions. The unmistakable block design on the D908RR tread is a key part of the Trailmax Raid’s tread design. The Raid utilizes tie-bars between the tread blocks to improve handling and stability for heavier bikes, while grip at higher lean angles when riding on the road is ensured by smaller gaps between the shoulder blocks. The large center blocks on the rear tire are designed to cope with road riding and the high-power output of adventure motorcycles.
As temperatures are hitting 105-degrees this weekend, I relish winter riding in So Cal. This is Texas Canyon, 1982. For a short while I raced a big Maico 490 Alpha E in local enduros. I really wanted to love this bike, but it was a handful for me, both heavy and heavy handed power wise.
