We on the same wavelength?

We on the same wavelength. Not sure that's the color I'm going with on this bike, but I do love me some Plum Crazy Purple.

A ride video paleeeeeease?!?

Tell you what, I've got a ride video from the day those pictures were shot. Let me see if I can either edit that video, or shoot a better one, and get it uploaded sometime this weekend.

My brother had a 69 Swinger in Hemi Orange. Very underrated muscle, IMO

Mine was a 70 swinger spray painted flat white with the black stripe across the rear, and a black hood. It had a lowered front and a gutless slant 6 lol. I loved that car…

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Yeah, my bros' had the tail stripe too, with the Swinger logo knocked out of the flat black. 340 six pack with 4 speed Hurst and a locker dif. KaBOOM!

I think my slant was only running on 5 cylinders, I lost a drag race against a Prius lol. It had enough power to blow off the rusty muffler. I got laughed at by all six passengers, there were some good times in that car. The guy I sold it to said the guy he sold it to still has it, and it’s been somewhat restored, so it’s literally in a better place lol

The 340 is such a great engine. I always wanted an Aussie charger with a 340 but they only made around 120 of them and they are almost impossible to find. The 340 was meant to be mated to a 4 speed for local racing in the early 70’s but the supercar scare put an end to it. Chrysler fitted a 727 and sold them as a luxury model.

A good friend of mine who passed this year had a 65 Valiant wagon with a hot slant fitted with triple 45 side draft webers. the sound!

It’s way too fun! I’d totally recommend one! The flat handlebars and the 9 speed conversion totally made the bike.

At least if he wrecks and falls off the bike, Injuries and carnage will be minimal.

Fall down, I think he's more likely to fall up out of trouble

So my friend done brung me another beauty to do some sorting of the rear brakes so as always I go for a quick spin all be it just around the cul de sac
Nice specialized stump jumper comp with as they say "custom gauge triple butted CrMo Taiwan"
Lovely wide artrax motorbike bars and awesome maxxis DTH tyres that I'm jealous of
Nice TM 820 araya rims, deore lx hubs

That's nice

 

[Endlesschain]

That's nice

Yup I like it too, anything retro/vintage steel of good quality is starting to get snatched up and so sellers are starting to up the prices too

 

[Tallbikeman]

Same exact way @yoothgeye does.

Just need a little forward momentum. I can push off going up hills as well. Have to sit forward when climbing steep hills, front lifts slightly.
Wish I tried tall bikes sooner! Visibility is one of the best parts. It's easy, a lot of fun and pretty quick too... Going up, staying up.

ciao

You make mount/dismount look easy.
