I've been riding dirt bikes since '69, had several street bikes, all sportbikes. Wish I still had one...

 

my 1955 FL turned into a 63 GMC truck compliments a HAMBer and a whole lotta driving!!

still got a Shadow 1100
and a Dyna Wide

Do a little riding with a bunch of Nam Vets at the Sturgis Motor Ralley

 

It's in my family blood.

 

I've been ridin 55yrs. My first "scooter" was a junked '49 Cushman Pacemaker, which my dad narrowed and shortened a Buick hood for a body, and ran Maytag flexpipe out the back for the exhaust. They had a two speed tranny with the shifter on the right side, just below the seat. I've owned a '56 Cushman Eagle, 4-Beamers, 6-Hondas, and 11 Harleys. I currently ride an '04 "Screamin Eagle 95", with 25K mi. on it., that my ridin' buddies, who are 25yrs younger hate, because "Gramps" bike hurts their ears and kicks their rears.

When Roy Rogers was makin' cowboy movies, he raced motorcyles and speed boats. He rode his '46 Hog every morning for an hour, until he hung up his helmit at age 75. His son Dusty, told hime one day, that he was going to kill himself and ruin his legacy, to which Roy responded, Well, if I do, that will be your problem, won't it."

 

I have had a couple of Japanese bikes years ago. Nothing of interest to HAMBers.

I do have my Dad's '71 Moto Guzzi 750 Ambassador that he bought new (I grew up riding on the back of it...) and his '58 Tiger Cub. Neither are running, though. The coupe is my first priority, and I'm not really making signifficant progress on it.

Here's a pic of him on his first bike:

This is the last scooter I built I have given up on being scooter trash for now.

 

this is going together now...

 

I quit riding in 1975 (Yamaha). I was into two-stroke dirt bikes since about age 13. I was fearless, and figured my helmet and knee-pads would protect me from any body damage. I made it 10 years before I finally broke every bone in my body, which is why I walk funny now...

Motor bikes are like cocaine, they get you hooked, and then they kill you (or at least try). I don't go to bikers anonymous meetings anymore though, having made it through all 12 steps...

 

period machine...the old springer front fender on the rear is a cool trick.
that is one fine M/C ! ! 65 pan to boot ! ! WOW

 

I'm a rider with 4 bikes. 2 Harley's, a custom ground up, and a Knuckle roller waitin' in the wings.

 

I'd disagree, some of the 4 cylinder jap stuff gets a look in (cafe racers especially), I've also noticed that the Yam XS motors are well liked there too. Must admit that I've got a couple of bikes but the Hamb is worlds apart from the Jockey Journal and I'd much rather put my slippers on,have a cup of tea and check this place out

thank you for the kind words. the fender is actually a hinge rear. just narrowed it about 1 1/4. here is a before and after.. seret did the handy work.

 

Yeah,people consider them investments. Kinda like a trophy bride.You got a lot in them but you still gotta ride em!


That's me before doing a few laps around Daytona.

 

I do I do! The guys complaining about this thread prolly got thier girl stole from em by a biker! On behalf of the entire biker community, SORRY! We're just that cool though. By my bike HANEY!

 

Skwurl......I was stolen by a biker Chick ! ! ! Still with her today ! !


Oh Jesus dig this ironhead ! ! that springer puts it in orbit ! ! any better pics ? post or PM me with them. Like that single downtube frame, that crazy primary cover....Wow ! !

 

I ride a 2003 Buell Firebolt as my daily ride. In the process of building a 1972 CB750 Cafe racer from a pile of parts I found cheap. Highly considering a 58-60 Vespa project as well just for a bomb around town like a dork ride.

 

My hotrod/ tourer Suzuki GS









My Goldwing being reworked a bit.

 

That looks kinda like a UL frontend. Yes I dig it. Haney your bikes rock too. You need a Skwurl's hand tooled seat!

 

I've been wanting a bike again forever. Had one in colllege and loved it. But, the wife hit a biker when she was 18 and the guy lost his leg. So... now you know why I don't have a bike.

 

Been riding for 37 years Brit bikes and Sportsters. Just sold a BSA Thunderbolt and picked up another Sportster. First bike with a 5 speed.....been looking for that extra gear a long time.

 

They make 5 speeds no way.. next youll be telling Me that they have sixspeeds too!





aint those extra gears great wish My sporty had a 5th..ha! but I'll stick with the 4speed and mag on that and use the roadking for the highways

 

Just sold my Harley this week,
Guess I like the "Hot Rods" and "Fancy chicks" thing now

 

This video kinda say's it all, yes bike's and hotrods go together.
