This thread was inspired by Ric, who showed us his BMW a few months ago, and it was mentioned it would make for an interesting thread. So here it is.
I finally got a scanner and tracked down my photos. I won't put in all my bikes as there have been too many, so I chose to post my favourite two!
Pic 1 is my 2nd favourite bike. It's a Harley 1000cc 'J' model racer which I added a few mod cons to, then after a while I took it off the road and spent 3 years restoring it back to original. It was stolen on the night I finished it. It had straight through exhausts, which sounded like shotguns going off!!!!! It was
FAAAST! (well, it was a factory racer).
Pic 2 was my favouritist favourite!
A 1948 'U' model 1200cc California Highway Patrol 'Police Special'. I gave it the total Custom treatment (sports S.U. carby, ape-hangers, chopper seat, wide-glide front end, 2" primary belt drive, straight through exhaust, etc).
Too keep the Heritage and History of the bike, I kept the Suicide Clutch (Foot Clutch), Jockey gear shift, and repainted it back to it's correct 'California Highway Patrol' paint scheme.
This bike had no brakes (I liked it that way) and I used only the engine to slow or stop
I really REALLY miss this bike!
