I’m an athletic 69 year old who rides my 8 motorcycles all over the US and Europe. I keep one stashed in Germany and one in Tennessee for my frequent trips there. I had gotten out of riding bicycles for the past 20 years until I got a Sondors XS e-bikeNow I’m also into retro cruiser bikes, beach cruisers and mountain bikes for exercise and gas prices.
So I have a Dyno Moto Glide bike I bought new in the 90’s. It’s purple/smoke flames with ape hangers, chopped fenders, and 4 speed Shimano rear drive. It has languished in my garage for years collecting dust. I had to replace the rotted flame tires long ago.
I tried a few mods over the years: vintage headlight, custom pedals, bell, etc.
i never ride it at night and didn’t need the headlight so that came off. The custom pedals weren’t comfortable so I went back to stock.
I removed the kickstand and don’t know what I did with it. I’d like a kickstand and think I found what I want so that’ll go on soon. The bike cleaned up like new. OOOO steel wool removed the oxidation on the chrome parts. The paint looks like new.
I plan to ride it more this summer since I’m only 6 miles from the SoCal beaches. It’s like a “barn find” that was lost in the man cave for the last 30 years.
I found this site when I searched for “Dyno Moto Glide” to see what Dyno has been doing of late. Surprised that Kustom Kruisers bought the brand. I’ll be watching this site for info and interesting posts. I’ll post photos of my Dyno later. I’ll be out of town for the next 9 days.
Does my bike sound like a rat Rod bike or a classic unrestored bike? I also have a basic single speed all black beach cruiser that I’m sure is a rat Rod bike. Photos of that one soon also.
Ciao.
