Re: Motorcycle Thread

I bet you never baked VHT hi temp paint onto your valve covers in her oven, neither.  As in:"Honey, my pot roast smells odd. And I have this urge to go out in the garage and adjust the valves on your bug."

My neighbor rebuilt an 86 buick indycar v6 turbo in his living room a while back because he has a couple videos from Menard's engine shop and that was where his tv is  . I had to help him get it down the front steps and into his van when he was done. He ran high 7's with it in his GN back in september. Any wonder he's not married??

Re: Motorcycle Thread
I found a Japanese Site that specializes in Euro Cafe style scoots. I like 'em a LOT! Check 'em out...it's all in Japanese, but go to Custom File and poke around.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
Wow ,
Man you guys have some nice rides !!! Mines not that old but i been working on it for three years on and off . The Frame is a creative cycle frame , the tank is made by John Little . My design is to mix old with new styling . I changed the color like three times and have not settled yet , but i'm leaning towrds a "rustic" look or weathered look .

Re: Motorcycle Thread
The neck, front end, motor and wheels are from a Buell M2 Cyclone. I built everything else. 3 sides of the tank are from a 71 Honda CB175.

Re: Motorcycle Thread
Here's a bike I'm currently building. I wanted something a little cafe, a little dirt, a little rat. I think I'm succeeding so far. A lot of work to do, but it'll be together by Summer 09.

The look of that bike is really growing on me. The cafe-ish look is always fine in my book, but the painted rims/spokes and knobby tires are fucking killer!

Re: Motorcycle Thread
Now that's a great looking Cafe. But, have you ever encountered rain grooves with a knobby tired bike? It's kinda like they're going , "ooh, this looks good, no wait, over there, no, back this way." Not an experience for the faint of heart.
