picturesque riding pictures

My dad and I took the 47 and 42 into the Palm Garden for lunch. The bikes ran great.

My dad took Andy's 47. This bike is stellar. I love black 47 knuckleheads.

I had to adjust the clutch push rod and I chose to just leave the derby cover off until later.

I am pretty happy with this bike. There are still some growing pains to sort out. I should have it ready to roll in the next week or so.

Maiden Voyage

My dad took Andy's 47 for its first spin today. This bike runs and works so nicely. I love black knuckleheads!!!!

more 36 frame pics and good news.

Here is a neat detail on the 36 frame that I noticed. It is a DIF marking. I have seen these on some loops, but not all of them. The right/upside loop does not have this marking on this frame.


Here is a good shot that shows lots of damage that is expensive and difficult to repair. You can see where the tubes snapped off and were re welded. Also check out the neat fix for the seat post, they welded a gusset tube around the cracked and disfigured original post. You can also see where someone torch welded so many joints on this frame. The motor/trans mount and the foot board tabs are pretty obvious as is all of the extra welding on the tubes.




We fired up Andy's 47 today. I side kicked it for a bit and did not have much luck. SO we rolled it off of the lift, and it fired right up once it was straddle kicked.






This bike is Choice. I can't wait to ride it when the weather gets better.

brakes, dogs and

i spent the rest of the day sorting out the footboard and brake pedal on Andy's 47. Here is a picture of duke checking it out. He approves


OOOO aaaaahhhh. I love metal foot board mats. I think that the rubber mats started to appear sometime around the 5500 serial number range.
