Sorry about your friend. Style.......hmmmm, something I've never been accused of havingspookydave said:stevew, I like your style. My friend died of cancer and his childhood thumper is now for sale. You should save this old iron.
And as far as Harley... They are doing pretty well in Pro Stock and Top Fuel these days.
To each their own, it's all good I say.
. There is stuff I will just always like. That bike looks like something my uncle would have built 30 years ago before he became a truck driver and started collecting old Auto-Car semi's and restoring old Mercedes in his spare time.Drag bikes are just nuts. I saw a drag bike run at Rockingham over the weekend.......and lets just say you have to have a big set of nuts to go down the track with the back end all over the place and not let off the throttle at all.
sure, whatever floats your boat toolgleen.
what you fail to realize is if its got 2 wheels i dig it, plain and simple. its your loss that you can't recognize that. see that smile on his face...i mean my face. it means a good time is being had yet only a tool like you has to pervert it into some sort of childish jibe rather that respecting it for what it is. feel free to carry on in your toolish world.

Are you talking about Ironhorse Magazine? Jason Jesse did a photo shoot of my brothers bike along with 2 other bikes owned by tatoo artists that worked for him a few years back. "Santa Cruz white trash choppers rule" was the article. He built a pan-head springer that had Caddy tail lights. It was painted using high temp bbq black from Orchard Supply Hardware. That was before I started powdercoating all his stuff. Looked a lot like the "no fat tires" picture you posted with the old school suicide shift.stevew said:

Your damn right. He does a lot of freelance stuff and he goes way back to 80's skate days. My brother has done some work on him as well.stevew said:
<edit> Dice, I will have to check it out. There is also a shop just over the river in Vancouver called Nash Motoercycles that build some stuff I think you would dig. Very different from a lot of main stream stuff. They might end un building my frame if I don't get one from Sally's.
someone just sent me this, and since this thread is about h@rl*y D@v&ds*ns,....
The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died
and went to heaven. At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur, "Since you've
been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your
reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want in Heaven."
Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, "I want to hang out
with God." St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room and introduced him
to God.
God recognized Arthur and commented, "Okay, so you were the one who
invented the Harley Davidson motorcycle?"
Arthur said, "Yep, that's me."
God said, "Well, what's the big deal in i nventing something that's
! pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a
road?"
Arthur was apparently embarrassed, but finally he said , "Excuse me,
but aren't You the inventor of woman?"
God said, "Yes."
"Well," said Arthur, "professional to professional, you have some major
design flaws in your invention:
1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end protrusions;
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds;
3. Most of the rear ends are too soft and wobble too much;
4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust;
5. And the maintenance costs are enormous!"
"Hmmmmm, you have some good points there," replied God, "hold on."
God went to His Celestial super computer, typed in a few words and
waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God
read it.
"Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed," God said to Arthur,
"b ut according to these! numbers, more men are riding my invention than
yours."

I'd never own one, but they are fun to rent and go for little 2 or 3 day rides with the wifey. I think the bigger ones are pretty comfy.

30 years ago is about right. He was 19 at the time.stevew said:Sorry about your friend. Style.......hmmmm, something I've never been accused of having
I hear ya on the style. Someone was going on and on about how ugly my 1960 Kingswood was (black, black tint, slammed on vintage Americans). Then they hoped in their Honda Element and drove off. lol Nice car with zero style if you ask me. All goes back to the to each their own I guess.

Exactly! Only to be topped by the '55 Nomad.partsbara said:
Not to be totally off topic, but a friend of mine is about 90% finished with his '64 Impala wagon. The only thing I don't care for is it's 4 door, but it's still damn nice.
That is what I love about them. I didn't know Chevy made so many station wagon variations until I went to the Good Guys show here last October......Impala Wagons, Brookwood Wagon, Parkwood Wagon....I was in wagon heaven.jimmydean said:
I prefer them with a little patina more than perfect.........
Well here is my responce, i Ride motorcycles, i like Cruiers, i like sport bikes. They both have there places, and they are both alot of fun, i have ridden everything from a 600 katana 900 ninja 1100 CBR 1500 sportser 1300 road king 883 sportster to my current ride, 750 shadow. I like the comfort of the cruiser style, i like the fun of a Crotch rocket, At the moment My 05 shadow i got for 4k with 2500 miles on it, couldnt pass it up. It rides just as good as My uncles road king, They are all nice and fun, calssic bikes are friggin cool, sport bikes flying around a corner at 130 plus are cool too, just hope there isnt a car coming, personally i think sport bikes over 900cc should be restricted to Track only status!!! Too many people with bikes like that are WAY to Inexpierenced<SP> to have them. I really like my 750, enough power to go faster than i should be, rides smooth, parts are easy to get, and its not super loud!!! Here is a Can Pic of it
Now add Soft side rear saddle bags and a windsheild

What Harley Davidsons have become is funny. There was a time when you never saw a rider on a HD "walk" their bike to a start or stop and now it's as common as traffic jams are in LA. Most of what's being piloted around SoCal under the HD flag is noisy, slow and really quite laughable to most people who ride motorcycles that have even a little performance. It is a rare occasion to see a HD splitting traffic in stop and go on The 5, but most of the commuters on other bikes that fit and are ridden daily seem to handle it all rather well. The funniest thing though is when a HD rider looks down their nose at my 750 and then feebly attempts to beat me to the bottleneck on Santiago Canyon Road. All I see is a headlight rapidly getting smaller in my mirror. I don't even need to get even closely into it about how those bikes are handled on the twisties. They should be banned from mountain roads because they get in the way more than RVs do and don't think they have to move for anyone, even when the signage indicates that slower traffic must use turnouts.
That is pure myth. Every motorcycle safety course I have ever taken has shown statistics based on fact that debunk that notion. All loud pipes really do is piss off the neighbors.Ciaran said:

This is why I don't like them.
As anyone who has been to NZ knows the roads here are tight and twisty, and an absolute nightmare for harleys or american cars. if what your in/on is not able to handle hairpin turn after hairpin turn with dangerously narrow roads then your not gonna have any fun, and will in all probability be a danger for everyone else on the road.
They are fine if not perfect for wide straight american highways, but hopeless on roads like ours which are perfect for european or japanese performance oriented transport.
