good old glory

the customer service is why i keep coming back to old glory cycles: they are great! i needed to order a bunch of touring stuff for the harley, and ended up getting a sneak peek at the ness-influenced bike they would be showing at this weekend's motorcycle show in dc.

confederate hellcat

put this bike on my christmas wishlist: a confederate c3 x132.

 nice.

reverse trike

i saw a reverse trike on the way back home today. it was going really fast so i couldnt make a positive i.d. but it kind of looked like this one from craigslist...i have covered trikes before, but not a reverse one: not my style, but pretty bad: the engine was sourced from an aprilia rsv 1000.

bike week kicks into gear

myrtle beach bike week-i mean: spring fling-got busy today

- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

bike week

an old-but not dead- biker at arizona bike week two weeks ago...from rick the lawyer's very great flickr photo stream.

ride green for earth day and beyond

Mission Motors out of San Francisco built this All Electric Motorcycle and showed it last month at the California Green Expo. It charges in two hours  using a 220 volt outlet. it travels about 150 miles on one charge, and tops out at 150mph.

Introductory price is around $68,000.00 

scorpion trike

i havent looked at trikes in a while but with all the rain and soggy soil,

this scorpion might be the ticket. 

brother gets a harley

after weeks of mental anguish and thousands of hours of phone calls, my brother decided on a harley: a beautiful 2009 road king.

good choice!

ninja harley

today i left work early to shop for bikes with my oldest brother who will be going to myrtle beach bike week with the boys this year...

these  bikes from shi jinsong were not on his shopping list. 

snow storm...again

i had to pick the harley up from old glory saturday: it was there for a gas tank recall  and i had a back rest put on. i left the second the snow started, but by the time i was headed home with the bike, the beltway was dicey. when i got home, the driveway was so slick i had a helluva time getting the trailer back in. the busa was covered in snow.

airhead

designer mathew perez of the virginia tech transportation institute dreamed up this air-powered concept motorcycle to commute back and forth to work. read about his airhead engine design on the kneeslider.

wanna buy a motorcycle shop?

breaking news: desperado motorcycles is put up for sale following owner's nhra commitments. too bad: nice style!

hyper sport bike as police pursuit vehicle

while doing a bit of link research for my post on the beautiful black busa, i read the oklahoma highway patrol converted a seized hayabusa into a police pursuit vehicle! they liked the performance and public reaction so much, they purchased two more hayabusas! that's wild...and scary.

screamin' eagle heavy breather

a couple of weeks ago old glory installed a few add ons, including a screamin eagle heavy breather in black...i wanted chrome. they fixed it, no problem. love it!

indian motorcycles

indian motorcycles were the first american production bike. i like the look of their new retro- design line.

motorcycle crash technology

i missed the premier episode of motorcycle crash technology on the national geographic channel because i was at bike week! normally, i am not interested in motorcycle crash stuff: too many memories...but this show emphasizes the technological advancements developed to prevent injury-and ultimately death-by motorcycle. must see tv for me:
next episode, this thursday.

bike week is over

made it home safely from bike week...fairly uneventful, but saw lots and lots of bikes and a few friends. good times! the ride home was stop and go, but i was able to check out my new shit (a little) on the beltway. old glory installed reinhart tailpipes and the screamin' eagle stage one upgrade.

redneck engineering

i am in ocean city for bike week-end.
so far this is my favorite bike that i might buy.
built by redneck engineering.

old glory

in preparation for ocean city bike week, dropped the bike off at old glory harley davidson for a check up and louder pipes:

it's ready already!
