Motorcycles. Let's see some pics

1951 El

 

Indians blow up my skirt, but I couldn't afford a new one....or an old one for that matter.....so I doctored up a Heritage. Sold about a year ago. Replaced with a soul-less 100th Anniv. Road King(sold after 15 miles of riding) Now I got a Road Glide(doubt y'all wanna see IT)

It looks better from behind(like some women I know)

 

Had lots of putts as I've been puttin' since '62, but I designed Nightwind in '58 at the age of twelve and finally built'er in '81 while my first marriage imploded. Do my own work of course, except the seat. Stitched that up in Pasadena at the best shop around (long gone now). She's seen most of the coast, most of the Sierra Nevada (we like the hills and canyons) and a couple of Leno's "runs" (we usually take off from there and spend the rest of the day in the hills). Last putt I've built, still have'er and still putt'er. Second marriage holding up as well as she is, we rolled the coast road in a two day long peasouper up to Frisco on'er for our honeymoon in '85. Surrealistic ride. Think I'll keep both of'em, they seem to be holding up well.

 

My '87 sporty/buell hybrid. Too much shiny stuff for my taste these days...

 

So did I, too bad I didn't keep it.

 

Me too.

 

here's mine.check out the gasser mags

 

My Bonneville

 

plans? i plan to ride it.



and prolly just a little faster than most these other bikes. hehe...

 

Here's a pretty scratchy old pic of my pan on my way to the Blood Run in San Jose circa 1980 I think. Not nearly as cool as everyone elses scooters but it is what it is.

 

Here is one of my bikes that i built and regret selling.

 

I can play this game. I hesitated at first, but when i saw other non-HD stuff, I couldn't resist.
As soon as I can get a free engine, trans and frame I'll build a HD.
**Hint, hint** (panhead only please. Maybe a shovel)

Anyway, everything done to this, I did.l The paint, the hardtail section, the fender, the seat, i put on the sporty tank. I built the engine with a Wiseco big bore kit. I did everything. Well, Flanders did the bars. It's a '82 Suzuki GS750 and i got it from an ex's barn. I have about than $2k in it. You can't get a new bike for that and this is all new. I ride the shit out of it.

 

Here's mine, '47 Chief...

 

Here's mine. '58 Beemer R26 (250cc thumper) on the salt flats at the 2006 world of speed.

Man these bikes are very very nice ... I ride a '01 black vstar 1100 don't have any digital picts of it ..

 

Here's my Triumph TR6, before and after. This is probably the funnest motorcycle I've ever ridin'! Have another in the works right now. Kinda lousy pictures, sorry.

 

This is my 78 1/2 FLH-80.

Mostly stock with S&S heads. Robert Pradtke did the flying tiger paint for me.
Cars are cool, but this is my favorite thing of all.

My last ride before sellin' my pre-unit...


Miss 'er a bit...

 

Here's the Triumph I bought from Hatch. I had never even sat on a bike until I went over to his house and fell in love with this one. I bought it and I take my safety class in the spring. I have practiced on it a little bit though. Perfect bike to learn on I think

 

Current view into my garage:

(L to R)
'61 Vespa Allstate (currently recieving an engine rebuild)
'61 Ford Falcon Futura
'69 Honda chopper, via Kutty Noteboom
'79 Vespa P200, 4-time "rat bike" award winner, and daily rider
I built it from 4 parts bikes.




Reverse view:

In the forground sits a '36 wheel cover. To the left is a nice '72 Honda CL-350. That spot of yellow is '63 Vespa GL-150. The black bike is a '53 Russian Ural M-72 (the sidecar is current off and sitting in another corner of the garage for repair). Behind that is a friend's smallfame Vespa. And then you get the reverse views of the P200 and Honda from the first photo.




Chopper:




Not shown (elsewhere):
- (2) '53 Vespa 150s (widebody handlebar bikes)
- '59 Lambretta Series 1 Li150
- parts to build a '32 Ford pickemup

I'm on Jockey Journal under the same user name.

 

Haven't posted a pic in a while, hopefully my FLH comes through. Those are '53 buick ventiports on the bags, btw.

 

Ride it faster than legally allowed....





Fast and Italian, I couldn't ask for more...

 

here's ursula, my '76 shovel FLH:

• kick and electric
• s&s jugs, flys, heads (84")
• only had to do 2 sets of rockerbox gaskets (i guess i am lucky)

oh yeah...
sold her when i got my house.

 

Hey it worked. Here's my other softail. I have some good mag pics of this one.
Gonna prolly sell the FLH this year, btw.

 

Here's some of mine...I tend to modify them into Cafe Racers :
TRITON: `67 Norton frame w/ `77 Triumph Bonnie engine

`72 Norton Commando
`83 Guzzi Lemans III
`70 Triumph T100C...bone stock

Sold this '82 Xj1100 this summer to pay for truck parts.

 

This is my '72, nearly finished...




Thanks goes to Pete at www.chopsnbobbers.com for a lot
