Race truck

Nothing interesting motorcycleish,
so,
My old race truck from back in the late 70s. Used to run a Bronco, then built this Ford 2 wheel drive for midwest racing. Was a fricking ball. 302 to save front end weight to fly more level. C - 6. Ran it on propane. Bilstein shocks.



We had a blast campaigning it for a couple years. Then endoed it. Started building a new one but alas . . . . . too much fun going on. Plus all the sponshorship shit showed up here and stole all our fun.



Gotta get back to work on the hack.

On my mark . . . .

Spiff'n up the motor mounts before installing.

The front mount with lightening holes and bushings



The rear motor mount, bushings, and brake caliper mounts.





The bushings are high zoot shock mount elastamer stuff. We used to use it in our roll cage mounts off road racing to allow some flex.

made it . . . . .

Slacker

Yup. I've been a slacker lately.
But I gots me an excuse. A new job excuse. Same company but a new "position". Been bustin my ass tryin to keep up with it. Won't be so bad once I get a little bit better at it but right now it's a kinda kickin my ass.
But, the pan still gets a bit of love.
This is the bike I grew up dreaming of. It was the 60's. I spent many young years drawing picture after picture of bikes from my imagination. I was a punk kid growing up in the heartland of America. The Hell's Angels were a motorcycle gang that lived in California. They were magical to my young imagination. The Harley Davidsons always had long front ends, Z bars, and sat long and low. So I tried to build it.
Once it was done and I rode it a summer, engine problems caused a teardown. I decided it wasn't quite what I wanted and stalled at the rebuild. I think this is what I want now.







Whatcha think, eh ?

I gotta say wow

The painter DUDE, Terry at Terry's Custom really blew me away with these pics of my buell stuff.



The tank and fenders.....he really worked his magic on.


The frame.
Can't wait to pick it up in a week or two.
Thanks Terry. You rule.

Slackin, But doin these for the 68ish

This one's done

This one's next


Tryin to make it a roller before the buell restarts

May Day roll out

It's a '52, 650 Triumph pre unit. Bought and traded this from a great guy down in Tennesee. Fred ran, and still runs a shop called Bikes and Bits just right of Nashville. Unfortunately, he had a crook working for him back then. Alot of you know the rest......





I like how the emblems I had cut out look on the tank. The baby battery and other electrical stuff is in the squarish box held on by the wingnuts. This one's seat suspension is some elastomer rounds with a tie rod through the center.
