the bobber comes home!!!

Yeah Beatnik! We could have a Gay Michigan Motorcycle Gang.. we'll call ourselves the RUDE BOYZ!! HAHAHA remember that anyone??? THose guys ROCKED!

 

I think the Rude Boyz rode Schwinns......

 

Ya... What kind of power they push outa those?

The prices on parts looks to be more to my budget...

 

Gonna drive ya crazy....update...update....looks like I'm gonna keep the Triumph fender for incentive to locate and build an early 650 rigid.....


Today the bike got the original bobbed rear....also pulled the heads and checked the pistons...little loose, so I'm gonna freshen up the topend...rebuilt one carb of the three..lookin good so far...hatch

 

The sneakers gotta go.

 

Too cold to be barefoot....

 

I fixed that tennis shoe -

The bike rocks! Keep the updates coming...

 

Yer killin' me here Hatch. Why don't ya just hand me a loaded gun?

 

The Fonz in tennis shoes?? I think not

 

Ok, so I fixed it.

 

Wow, What a great bike. It reminds me of that 80's movie "streets of fire". Goofy flick but I loved the cars and bikes.

 

Wow... that was quick... are the head gaskets re-useable or something?

Who sells parts for stuff that old...

 

NICE BIKE. no wonder Donzie wants you dead!

 

Screwed the extra motor together last nite...temporary shop decoration!!!

 

... Temproary boat ankor for the parts bath...

 

I think you otta at least let me have the extra motor. My garage is bigger than yours and you need the room. Could we make that fit in my Yamaha frame? Now THAT would piss some people off!!

 

That's the motor I want to dress up with all sorts of cool billet stuff....now THAT would look great in your Yamaha frame.

 

hey GUS. what did you do to my bike??? you did'nt strip my very first flame job off that tank did you??? that'll be worth a fortune one day when i'm super dooper famous LOL..... whats the plan any holmes. i've been curious what your doing with it....

 

Hatch,
I don't know if anyone has asked yet, but...

Why haven't you taken a pic of yourself on that thing, NAKED wearing a german helmet.

Appearantly you don't quite have the hellfire yet...

Seriously though, thats a cool bike. I would LEAVE IT AS IS. Man....seriously.
I am all kinds of jealous.

JT.

 

Don't be jealous....just keep looking for the next one stashed away. I'm in my fifties and this is the first "real find" I've ever experienced. And it was all started on a short ride with a friend to look at a yamaha....

And yes...it stays the way you see it!!! I don't even plan on washing it.

 

Wash it??? Hell you don't even wash yer socks do ya

 

So does anyone sell aftermarket parts for the flatheads?

 

Yup....this place has Everything!! www.45restoration.com

 

Found a slick webpage... http://groups.msn.com/FlatheadWorld/membersbikepics.msnw?Page=1

Hey... I gotta thankyou... I've been trying to figger out what style bike i'm gonna build... I found it!

 

Hatch,your bike RULES...


i hope that you know i hate you now

 

Got this seat pan with the extra parts...stuck it on and it actually feels comfortable!!!...think I'll hook up the spring assembly and live with it "as is"....whadda ya think?...look OK???

 

HEY...I just thought of something...WHERE"S GERM????...thought he might like to see some "Michigan Gay Patina"

 

Dumb question... Whats the horsepower potential of these flatheads?
