1903 indian

on saturday the oldest american built motorcycle will be auctioned off at an estate sale.

today's problem: no driver's license

who would have thunk jorge lorenzo could not legally ride a bike on the street?

he's fixing it now, though.

today's problem: the creature

this creature makes my ducati look like archaic design technology.

bikes in the hood

years ago while visiting fort walton's air force museum i was intrigued by the finish on a stealth plane...finally, that matte style has made it to the commercial markets. not my favorite color (is black a color?), but the smooth, beach glass paint on this bike is nice!

bikes in my hood

just chilln...

moto gp

its on in melbourne, bitches:
stoner vs. rossi vs. lorenzo.
who will take it?

(sorry about the penguins...the wife is all about the gaga)

how to have good times

out for fun

true dual exhaust

cruised to eastern performance with my brother so he could get the rinehart dual exhaust: should look good!

vintage yamaha

my neighbor's daughter is all grown up: this is what her boyfriend rides! oh, shit: too bad its not a suzuki! actually, it is a totally cool ride...

i am impressed. 

lacking adult supervision...

...the boys decorated their new place to the best of their abilities.

boss hoss for real!

i saw one of these boss hoss' down at ocean city bike week...pretty wild. they sell for crazy cheap on ebay, too...i really need a garage!

midget wrestling at bike week

here at midget wrestling, i saw more bikes at one bar than I saw total in myrtle.

beltway bikers

shot this video on the way home

the other night 

r.i.p. hayabusa

my beautiful busa was parked in my front yard the other night and somebody stole it. wow. why? it was bad, thats why. and so were the other four sport bikes that were also stolen that night in my hood. its not the money- a wont get back what i paid for it, just bluebook for a 2002-its the violation. it was just a bike... a bike i spent six months looking for. now its probably disassembled and dirty, laying around in some greasy garage or shipping container. sucks...

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 is over

yeah...bike week is over so i came home...without a new bike this time. myrtle beach bike week is really done, but it was great to get out of town for a few days and a change of pace is a good thing...probably my last year... we did a lot of riding and added a lot of miles, ate some decent food and generally had a great time. on the way home, big black kept flashing the "check engine" light: i am a little concerned...wondering if it has anything to do with the salt air. 

new windshield for the harley

i will be heading for myrtle beach in a couple of weeks for bike week-or bike-couple-of-days i still have a few things to do...today i cleaned out the trailer-even vacumed it-and got rid of a lot of trash that had accumulated over the winter. i tried to put a new, slightly taller windshield on the harley, but i didnt have the right tool. 

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!

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.
