WOW ... Memory Lane Here

I Like the Supercharged Yellow & Red Tank Triumph Drag Bike on the first page with a pepco blower on it ... WILD ... I have 3 of these little blowers .
I have somewere a Photo of my father on his old Indian Scout that he rode when he bounced out of the service after ww2. He had 2 job's at the time, He deliverd Dental Plates to Labs on the Indian & worked for a guy buy the name of H.S Crocker that made what they called at the time " Stroker plates " for Harleys. ... The origanal 80 inch Harleys ... this was back in 1945 or so.

ANYWAYYYY.... When I ever find my old scrap book I will Post them ... He looks like one of the WILD BUNCH lol.

... I found this 81 CM400 that only had 4000 miles on it. It just needed the carbs rebuilt even had the original tires.

that was my first motorcycle, bought new in '82 as a leftover. same color and everything. good bike.

that flag tracker is wicked! i love it! ya sure ya don't wanna sell it for a million trillion dollars?

this old motorcycle thread was just the kick in the pants i needed, i've spent the last couple days working on the 71 cd cafe racer.
chopped the fenders,removed useless bracketry/weight, and mounted my woodcraft clip on's
its starting to shape up nice.

oh, and i managed to get the big bear home.

Icy, you got one cool project going on! I'd love to get my hands on an old Honda sometime in the near future..
The Big Bear is pretty sweet. That's definatelty a legendary model. Anyone remember the old Revell model based on the Big Bear? It came with a pocket watch looking thing. I always assumed it was a stopwatch but never knew for sure. Anyone know?

i was lucky with this one chainsaw.

found it on kijiji for $300 in running condition, delivered to the door. other than a dent in the tank and a cranked headlight assembly it was in great shape. guy told me on the phone, that they make u-tube vid's and were jumping wynabago's, he broke his back and needed money.

i envisioned them jumping a wynabago with the cb 175.
boy was i wrong! even made it to t.v.

No Sir it hasnt ran for 20 some years but isn't stuck and the clutch seems to work, so the plan is to tear it down ring it and hone it inspect it and put it back together with a new mikuni replacement carb

[Beau]

XS650 soft tail. I still have a ways to go. I'm gonna redo the back frame section a bit.

I had machine work done and installed a '78 Harley Superglide fork on it with a 21" wheel.

 

[jaydub]

These aren't my actual pictures of the bikes I mentioned earlier but they'll give you an idea of what mine were like. I know that I have some pictures somewhere but the bulk of them got destroyed a few years ago. I'll keep looking.

Chaparral ST80

125 Rickman

Yamaha DT250

Suzuki 125

What The basket case shoulda looked like. The Red bike.

I had this Yamaha DT 250 just like the one in the picture same color and everything..its long gone but I did buy another one in silver a few
years ago..Its a DT 250 2mx I believe..I should uncover it from the garage and post a few pics..

 

[OUTLAW]
