Motorcycle Riders?

[indyblue]

Let me introduce you to Troy Corser, he was a big road racer a few years back.
This video hes racing his 1929? supercharged rigid right hand shift BMW.
He casually will reach over at 125+mph while bouncing through a hard curve and shift up or down. He is trying to catch his fellow racer and best friend.
The end of the race is the best.

Motorcycle racers have big kahunas.

I look forward to watching The Isle of Man TT this year again. Riding it is on my bucket list.

I am looking for "how to watch". Where are you finding it?

I would suggest one start with a "Mousetrap" Rocker foot clutch assy. Some transmissions like my 2010 six speed on occasion are a bit difficult to get neutral each time before you get stopped. The Rocker will hold the clutch in when you want, to stop and stay in first gear. I've seen them adjusted to slowly engage to take off with a tap of your heel, to make things easier for some.
Your Indian would be fun with a jockey on the tank and a foot clutch.
They are a lot of extra movement/work when comparing to whats on your scooter now.

I usually watch a few days at my brothers house each year, he streams them from here, is what he just told me. I dont know what it costs?
I have to show up with an armload of Crown Peach, and I get in free.

I'm in the 70's through the 80's era bikes. The monster 2 strokes were just awesome to ride.

absolutely! H2750! I have had 3 of them and it was fun to ride.. well for a few miles then my hands fell asleep from the vibrations coming thru the handle bars.. I hope to have the RD350 on the road soon.. I gave up on taking it all apart and cleaning it.. maybe this winter but in the meantime I am going to get it fired up. The new ignition switch and key came so all I am down to is finding a good stock exhaust or welding tabs onto the expansion chambers I bought for it then it would be ready ringandingdingding along.

Sounds like fun.

One day Bob was cleaning and adjusting his motorcycle.
When he was finished, his wife said, "You know I worry about you when you go out on that. Maybe it's time you thought about giving up motorcycling."
Bob's face immediately twisted into something she'd never seen before.
"What's wrong?", she said.
Bob replied, "For a minute there, you sounded just like my ex-wife!"
"You never told me you were married before!", she said.
Bob countered, "I wasn't."

So I did a thing last Sunday.

One of these is not like the others.

Bob's brother used to have that same exact problem, What Bob's wife didn't see and forgot about was most of those motorcycles had been owned by Bob's brother longer that the wife had been around.
The last 12 years Bob's brother has added a few more to the fleet and the only thing Bob's brother hears is whats playing on the Milwaukee radio in the shop.
Out of the two brothers, Bob's brother is the much happier brother.
Bob's brother is now going for a ride on one of them.

You know what I like?
Well, I'm glad you asked...
I rode the raffle bike to my VFW district meeting yesterday to give everybody one last chance to get tickets on it as we draw for the giveaway next week on Memorial day...

Well, it was 85 freaking degrees out.


I like it when you're riding down a country road, and all of a sudden you cruise through a patch of air that's around 20 degrees cooler than the air you were just in. Happened several times.

That's what I like.


Thank you God.

A cowboy appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.
'Have you ever done anything of particular merit?' St. Peter asked.
'Well, I can think of one thing,' the cowboy offered.
'On a trip to the Black Hills out in South Dakota , I came upon a gang of bikers who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen.
So, I approached the largest and most tattooed biker and smacked him in the face, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring, and threw it on the ground. I yelled, 'Now, back off or I'll kick the sh** out of all of you!
St. Peter was impressed, 'When did this happen?'
'Couple of minutes ago.'
