Motorcycle Riders?

[JCSR]

Same ride as yesterday but added out and back to Leavenworth. If I keep it up I may have all the salt blown off by mid-summer.

The Overlook


I hear earth tones are very popular this year. Chain lube and salt will do it for ya.

Not sure what year knuckle that is but it’s period cool.

I know the meme is a bit fuzzy but I can't figure out if the scoot has brakes or not. Obviously no front, but I don't see a rear pedal. Maybe on the left side?

That was period thing no front brake on some of the custom wheels. The bikes were not fast at all by today’s standards so if you paid attention you survived.
My 50 Panhead was a jockey shift no front brake until I near killed myself and it got a front brake.

I've rode a few of them and the 500's when I worked at the shop. Super fun going straight, felt like they had a hinge in the center on curves.

Those were known as "tree climbers" in my day.
I had two 400cc triple cylinder 2-stroke Kawasakis in my day, one I bought new & another a bank repo.
Quickest thing 0-60 I ever rode.
Spoiled me for bigger bikes b/c they were always a disappointment 0-60 after the
2-stroke triple cylinder Kawasaki bikes.

Harley pushed back the frame delivery until June or July...Thinking about picking up a sportster for the summer and having it be my wife's when I get the low rider s back.

My cousin has/had one of those. Her husband bought it for her but she wouldn't ride it. She also wouldn't sell it to family or friends. She didn't want to feel responsible when they killed themself on it.

For the H-D folks out there . . .




And for every rider out there . . .





And I'm guessing at least 42% of us will agree this is unsafe. But the 58% who don't thing it is unreasonable certainly will have their opinion . . .

What's life without the occasional risk of losing such. ;-)


At last Sunday and Monday were beautiful riding days. Spring is in the air!

I'm sitting @ Westfield Powersports shivering my ass off since I got caught in a downpour right inside Tipton County line. Brrr! The downside of riding! I haven't invested into dedicated riding gear as I usually leave it in the garage but when you having work done...

Reminds me when I found an old baby car seat in the curb for trash pickup and I zip ties it to back of my scooter for a couple of weeks.

* It's

I don't get it - you only ride in the rain? You should try riding when it's dry some time; nice change of pace.

Finally got everything done to my bike that I wanted to over the winter, now I just need the weather to cooperate, the waiting is miserable!

I got taller bars, better headlights, rider backrest, made a poor man's two into one exhaust, two new tires, and got some road rash from the previous owner repaired. Oh, and a friend is learning to wrap vehicles so I got a stripe.

I'm pretty stoked for this summer!!
