The garage......we are starting to hate you. Jealousy is an ugly thing.

The garage......we are starting to hate you. Jealousy is an ugly thing.

Well....
Ive been riding almost 35 years, so I have had a chance to collect a few things along the way.
Lost several houses and numerous cars and $$$ through a few very unpleasant divorces....but I've kept my bikes.....I just wish they all ran. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

[Spyder]

WTF?!? Who the H3LL are you? Your garage just gave me a h^rdon! You in the market for a new best friend? I'm available...

That's an awesome find, I have been looking for another project like that one to bring back to life. Amazing it runs! Good luck with her.

Maybe all of us Northern Indiana guys can get together sometime for a ride, or maybe even form a new rally...

Heres the Hot Rod in the background...
1933 Plymouth with a bored, and Keith Black stroked 426 based HEMI.
18 spline 4 speed with a 4.10 Halibrand quickchange rear...
Tube frame all built by my dad over 10 years ago....

Holy smokes.....badness indeed!
My uncle has the same car, but far more mild.

Thanks for the kind words guys.... sometimes I get overwhelmed with all the stuff that needs to be fixed or finished....
But at the same time, it is the only thing that keeps me sane......:unconscious:

Digging up some parts. Have headlight, headlight ears, and one turn signal, fork seals and carb bowl gaskets...
Thinking about putting on some wire wheels, so i can get more substantial rubber on the road.
18x3.5 and 18x2.75 wheels with a 150x70 and 110x80 tread possibly.......deciding spoke length for front still.

Northern Indiana and Chicagoland are really close. Are you in partnership with Ichiban Moto? My guess he is your secret helper to keep all these toys running so well. Very BadAss!!

Are those Morris rims on your other Skunk? That ol' Chrysler must be something else to drive.

The CBX as well as most my other bikes are found in this thread....

Might need to go through a few pages to get to the CBX...
it's still not done, but will be in a few more months...

Enjoying this thread......especially this post, ha,ha


I had a really spotless 75 GT and was all "oh, should I cut it up.... boo, hoo"

THAT is a beautiful bike, very nicely done.

 

[jbird7262]

Nice coupe., are those "vintage" halibrans on the front? Love the unpolished speed parts on top of the hemi.

 

[busa1300]

The wheels on the HEMI are newer production aluminum, not the original magnesium style. My dad wanted to go with a more modern rim design, so I bought him these tires and wheels for Christmas, so he couldn't say no. I felt the car needed a late 60's early 70's look to it...he finally agreed

If you look at the thread link you can see the CBX started out as less than a basket case....it was scrap. This GS 1000 I just found is worlds better, as far as condition goes.....Also, the guy with the GT550 really ****ed me off as you can tell with my response to him...

As far as help running....It's just my two hands turning wrenches and the internet when I find myself in a corner... I'm the guy people bring their bike to when no one else can figure things out.

The other GS 1000 I have has magnesium Italian EPM's dated 1982. The bike has a 19 on front right now, but I have a set of 18 front and rear EPM wheels, with Kosman 13 inch rotors on a shelf when it gets it's total rebuild.

Is that a 2013 Hayabusa, looks stock from what I can see?

The Hayabusa is 2002 I bought out of the crate
its a all black limited.... And still 100% stock

That 1000 is a fantasy on wheels. Very nice!

I am running a 110/18" front. Turns in a little quicker, stable at speed. Plenty of rubber to be found.

This Skunk is gorgeous! Going to put mirrors, signals on her?

 

[Spyder]

I'm in love with the pipe set on it... Would look and sound sweet on mine!

 

[busa1300]

No mirrors or signals, if anything it will be even less street legal when I completely rebuild it with engine/frame/suspension/brake mods... All parts will be period correct for a late 70's early 80's AMA superbike.
The header is a vintage thick gage Kerker, with full on race baffle (music when pulling up from midrange)...but rear footpeg frame mounts need to be cut from frame...

Basically a race bike for the street. Love it!!! They are sooo fun to drive on the street. . .but a track day? :twistedevil:
