Ah bikes; another favourite passion!
BSA's: '56 Road Rocket, '51 plunger Golden Flash, '51 Rigid GF, '54 GF,
Ariels: '27 Model A, '51 350 Red Hunter, '56 500 Red Hunter,
'75 Gold Wing,
DT360A, XT500, PE175, SL175, and several more.

These days I ride more carefully than I did 25 years ago.

It was sobering when a friend had the front tire on his Gold Wing deflate (a new tyre had just been fitted!), and he lost a leg as a result. I now own his D10 Emmons as a result.

Currently on a '97 Goldwing. Clocked up 60,000 k's in about 5 years. (My wife made me sell my old 1100 Shadow and buy the Wing 'cause of comfort issues as a pillion!! Had to really twist my arm. Yeah right. )

WOW!!! I can't believe it! We should have a "Guitar/Cycle ride in"!
A lot of diversified brands of cycles you guys are riding also. I love my BMW K-100-RT, but I also love every other bike ever made, (even Zundap). I own several cycles now but none are the same brand.(Sold the Buell Lightning 1200). What do I want to add to the collection? A BSA, Norton, Ducati "Desmo", and the list goes on.
When it comes to bikes, I don't want a "Push-Pull", I want them to move on their own.
Yes, Eric West, you have to pick out my "Knuckle Head" Harley when you get here!
John Drury, lets ride! As a matter of fact, lets pick a time in the future when a bunch of us steelers can ride together! Wish Chalker were here, he was a cycle fanatic!

I've owned and ridden bikes since I was sixteen, and about twelve months ago I sold my car and use a little Kawasaki GPZ500 for going to work. I've only got three others now, a 1935 250cc Francis Barnett, a 250cc Puch split twin, and a Yamaha SR500 single cylinder road racer.
I've raced bikes at all the major UK circuits, up to international level, and made bits -mostly exhausts- for some major players in the GPs. Most of my riding was on tiny bikes, 50s 80s and 125cc racers- far too many to list.

Cheers!

Wow!

I knew there had to be a few of you out there on bikes but this is great!

Bobbe and Jim Phelps:I never knew Curly was a biker!

Gene, and Damir:Nice looking bikes!

Richard Argus:I always wanted a 500 Red Hunter or a Manx Norton. I like the big singles. I owned a 63 Catalina Scrambler. I would like to see your plunger frame Beezer.

Crow Bear:I had a buddy in school that rode a Zundapp, I haven't seen one in ages. I also rode a bike in the seventies I rarely see anymore, an Ossa Pioneer enduro type bike. They were made in Spain. Ever see one over there?

This has turned into a fun topic! Keep them coming!

Capt. Seymour:Excellent idea about a Steel/Biker ride in, sign me up!

Gene,

Thanks for posting the picture of Paul Bigsby of Bigsby Guitar fame. I read somewhere that he worked at the Crocker factory and that he was instrumental in the developement of the big tank Crocker.

I'll confess, I am a Motorcycle man myself. Anything with a motor is gonna catch my eye. I am currently riding a 1974 Yamaha TY 250 Trials Bike. I have spent more time working on it than riding it, but when i get to ride it makes up for all the hours i have spent working on it.

This is the best thread ever!!!!!!!!
I didn't realize how many of "us brothers" had this common thread between us!

John Drury · Post by **John Drury** » 23 Aug 2004 1:26 pm

Quesney,

Good to see another Concours rider on here! They are incredible bikes. I should have got one a long time ago. I have a black 04 that I purchased earlier in the year. I like it better every time I ride it!

1981 H-D Super Glide. Original sheet-metal, and original paint. Got a good thread going here. Sounds as if we do have enough bikers for a ride for something. M-S, M-D, steel player in need. Giddy-Up
