late 1947 Knucklehead Big Twin frame neck

Close up of the late last "Bullneck" frame for 1947. I believe theres 3 frames for 1947. This one is very rare. some 20,000 FLs built that year if i'm correct.



Run out of motorcycle lifts? milk crates work..LOL


Bastardized high performanced 1947 engine.

pre 1909 Harley Davidson single belt drive




Above are some very old fotos torn out of a someones family album, If you look very close on the rear wheel you can see the belt/sprocket on the rear wheel. Always thought it interesting that the earliest bikes used leather belts, then bikes went to chains then back to modern flexible rubber belts to lessen the vibration n wear. If you found only the engine of this bike, theres a few folks making highest quality replacement parts to build the whole bike once again. The next foto was on the other side....looks like the old "our gang" little rascals.

Indian 101 Scouts

The great property of 101s is any idiot can get them and keep them running . probably thee easiest to maintain , service bikes i've ever had..Luckily there is a great following so many parts r now available as knockoffs,, I kinda wish Colony or the other big name replacement parts folks would make fenders etc out of thicker gauge metal..plenty of acceleration and very maneuverable...just not a highway bike...i prefer runing drop center rims vs the correct clincher rims,,,clincher rims are the very old early style rims...

Vista home security 2012 antivirus hijack...how to remove

Ever get hijacked by these bogus rogue scamwares like "Vista home security 2012 antivirus" ???..or MyStart Incredibar . first dont ever share your computer...
i have found this one series of steps will always knock out homepage or other style hijacks...this one above was incredibly insidious, could not go to properties my computer etc.... so you can remove virtually all spywares, hijacks, scamwares etc...they look like microsoft updates ...they have the same icons , insignia etc ...
1. on start up hit F8 until "safe mode with networking " option surfaces on a black n white screen ...select that.enter... log on to your computer as normal...
2. in the Start menu on the bottom of the screen, "start search" window....type in "system restore" ...this picks a previous time period when the computer wasnt corrupted...this will unfuck the computer....follow its steps, and it will have reboot your computer and you will be free of the hijack software.....Obviously anytime any popup asks you to update and enter your credit card etc...WARNING...your being scammed..like i wrote above this series of instructions will knock out disable most if not all hijacks n scamwares...
my experience is you dont have to go to "command prompt" and enter code to unfuck your computer,i'm not a big spyware guy either, to me its just another computer vampire knocking out your computer and reporting back to bigbrother w what breakfast cereal you buy.... always interested to know folks ideas on outwitting the scammers....

I think the Lord Humongous would kick someones ass who was torturing beagles or punching calves or setting puppies on fire or feeding kittens to pythons,, the world we live in gets sicker n more evil by the hour.. payback retribution will be a bitch for them.

Marlboro man croaked of lung cancer now these beagles are forced to smoke em..

Smoking doesnt just kill humans, harmless, friendly beagles? WTF? how cold of a person do you have to be to force beagles to smoke a known carcinogen?
Did Dr.Mengele really die in Argentina?

1955 Porsche 356 gets steel



The new steel came off a 1956-59 Porsche 356 coupe, this area is slightly different. plenty of work , previous owner was a master bondo guy, not a master welder.

for a coupe recovered from the desert of Southern California, it had alot of rust, like a Pennsylvania car.

Heres the other side moth eaten , where the previous bondo master had added flares,...runs everyday..just looks like hell.

What could this possibly refer to BMW cryptic ?

This was on a car in the shop today, factory decal,,what could this possibly refer to??

This was my pet panda

I trained him for portrait photography

This was my pet bear when i was a kid

2000 BMW R1200 Brembo brake service,,not Bimbo!



2 front brake calipers..1 per side


1 rear brake caliper



BMW knockoff brakes,,,low cost on FEebay

14.000 miles later..not much left..my neighbors toddlers could load these on while watching TeleTubbies, its that easy...the only hold up is on the rear caliper , load the one brake disk last from the non caliper side , then slide the pin into place..bleed n go...I love riding the old iron but sometimes you just wanna go w/out having to monkey w small issues.
