Here's the engine as it's been sitting for a while http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2256/...ebdd8da9_o.jpg Here's a 53ish Matchless trials we redid. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/114/2...4045ce83_o.jpg Before I added the headlight and recovered the seat. :) |
Nice

and no cycle poseur would be complete without a chopper.

It's fun to ride if you don't have further than 15 miles to go, require going over 60mph, and don't have to turn or stop. ;) |
I also turned an RD400 into a cafe racer.
http://farm1.static.flickr.com/107/2...48b3b58e_o.jpg once i got everything done the way I wanted it, I seized the motor doing plug chops. It was pushed to the back of my garage and I later sold it. Don't worry, I lost my ass on it. |

my best friend also manages a dealership. I get weekend test bikes.
Last bike: Can Am spider. meh http://farm1.static.flickr.com/176/4...ecda7ddd_o.jpg I got the superduke for an afternoon. I think it's overblown by motorcycle magazines. It's a neat bike. However, it's a neat $9000 bike. Top end suspension and braking components and dodgy injection with a rather uninspiring motor. I've heard people say they are a different beast uncorked. I hope they are right. that's it for me. I just ride now when I have the time and wrench when I can't sleep. |
Welcome...Nice Collection of Bikes you've had/Have.
