Motorcycle guy "Ride, eat, wrench, sleep, repeat" All pictures are taken by me, if not, photog will be credited. Happily married. No DMs, no chats. IBA #8871 Not a liberal or a conservative. I'm a realist and you may not like that.
Just a bunch of old grain silos and an old Duck for todays ride. #motosky
I also built a trike out of a Sporty. This one's a lot of fun, it's like riding a big wheel. I'm perfectly capable of riding two wheeled bikes. I have cruisers, sportbikes and even a DS in the garage, but the 3 wheeled bikes offer a change of pace. Enjoy the ride, whatever it is. 😜
I'm also a fabricator and high mileage rider that likes the challenge of learning/doing something new. Seventeen years ago I setup my K75S with a tub. I have 3 different interchangeable platforms. It's a workhorse that gets a lot of comments.
Nice. I haven't got the long arms and torso for that bike. Same problem I had with this one after I put her together.
Who doesn't like a nice old Guzzi pic? I'd hashtag this over to #motorcycles, but it seems there's a lot of hate for bikes over there. #motosky
Clutch your pearls, girls. DynaS ignition on the Sporty finally bit the dust, so I'm going back to the basics. I've been stranded by EFI and EI problems, but I've never been left on the roadside by a set of points and condenser. #motosky #motorcycles
Those are pretty beefy. I'm a cheap bastid, so I welded up a pair for my sporty.
First heat advisory of the year here in Northern Florida and we're not even halfway through June. It's going to be a scorcher this summer. I'll have to get my daily rides early in the mornings. #motosky #motorcycles
LOL She'd never notice it. 🤫 In the meantime, I'm going to have a couple of Cuba libres and watch "The Great Dictator" with Charlie Chaplin.
Option C Pull the stock tank out, replace with a Sportster FI gas tank, hardtail the rear. Done. Be the first on your block with a BMW chop.
If it's Thursday, it must be hive maintenance day. #bees #beekeeping #gardening
Half the fun of these projects is figuring out how and where things go. The other half is the day everything is back together, you push the button and she comes back to life. I brought this pile of boxes home and ended up with this.
The Italian stuff just has so much personality, IMO. I looked for a Moto Morini 350 a few years ago. Never found one close by.
That cylinder head is a big heat sink. You'll be there all day trying to get it hot enough to loosen things up. In cases like this I use a MAP torch. Gets very hot quickly. Also have a set of stripped nut extractors that work well. Good luck.
If you do your own wrenching, it's not only a labor of love, but a way to know your machine better. Taking the bodywork is bad, but replacing a clutch is even worse. 😱
Over 191k miles on my '96 R1100rt and still going strong. I've been in the motor once to replace a headgasket. Great bikes.
Bee maintenance day. Yes, we're making honey. #beekeeping #honey #gardening
I remember years ago reading a quote from a French historian that said, "The only things American culture has ever given the world are rock&roll and Harley Davidsons." I guess I'm fine with that. #motosky #motorcycles #harleydavidson
This you? Earning your money I see. How much did you get from IPAC? Israel Lobby Total: $5,495,646
New additions to the homestead. We have bees now. ☺️ #beekeeping #gardening #farming
Stopped for a pic in front of a beautiful old pecan plantation I ride by in southern Ga. #motosky
