LOL! TEX, you are simply insane! Never change, mate!
I just LOVE the pic!

Back in the day I used to have a 750 Bonnie and then an 1340 Superglide...Sold them to put the money onto the house but have now had the ok to invest in another...Looking for a cheaper Harley(not sporty)or maybe a Speedmaster or America in the 850cc models...Just thought I'd throw it in here...You never know...

Thanks fella's....No warranty Matt it's a 95 model....Happened to find it on the internet with only 4500ks on it and in a fella's lounge room...When I picked it up both him and his wife were teary as they are victims of the economic downturn and in the process of losing everything and have been trying hard to hang onto it...Anyway enough of the sad stuff...I love it and it does make the windows rattle... :lol: :lol:

This is my favourite ride...Unfortunately its in bits,packed away in crates awaiting me to give it its next leaf in life..Hopefully ,now that I have more machinery it wont be too far off.
1949 triumph Thunderbird 650 rigid.
Fully worked,balanced and lightened George Heggie Race engine(RIP George)..The motor featured in an outfit raced at Sydney showground in the 50's..and has been further worked by me.
Big carbies,80 thou over forged pistons,huge jets,straight thru pipes with custom billet alloy dry clutch and kevlar primary belt drive...raked and with custom tank and bits this ole girl is a blast to ride short distance due to the speedway 60% balancing..but a bit hard on the body for a cruise..
Maybe next build Ill chuck it in a swinging arm frame :D

Don't currently ride, but used to a lot in my youth.

Had a selection of stuff from crappy little CG125's and A100's through to a GPZ500, FZR1000 and one of the early Ducati 851's (a beautiful thing which really handled when set up, could ride it off the edge of the tyres, scrape knees, boot edges etc with ease. Great round race tracks too once I put decent AP Lockheed brakes on it.)

Also had a couple of XR250's, a TT350 and a Husky 410 which were fun.

Often thought about getting something else, but never got around to it.
