Steel players who ride motorcycles.

Post by Johnny Cox »

I just bought myself a Harley Davidson Heritage Softail Classic. Was curios who else might be a bike nut.
How cool would it be to do a steelers ride.

Hey Chris, in my opinion if it has 2 wheels it's cool. The Road King was one of my favorites but my health has had me to down size to the 1200 Sportster.

A steeler's ride is a great idea Johnny. Put that together.

The Twisted sisters is a fun ride in the hill country of Texas. Did that ride last year and loved it.

This is me.........or my bike anyway.
It's a Heritage Soft Tail Classic.
The first thing I did when I retired was buy a Harley.

I have stuff.
I try to make music with it.
Sometimes it works.
Sometimes it doesn't.
But I keep on trying.

Here is my Trike with Lehman kit on back; it holds itself up. After too many years of carting around a Twin amp,
I need something easier on my knees.

I built this back in 1976 after the Triumph T-120R pre-unit died, rode it across country and back and it was my primary transportation, here in LA for years. I chose the Honda engine because, at the time, it was the most dependable engine I could get. The gas tank could hold 7 gallons and I don't remember how many quarts the oil tank could hold (I had recently learned how to weld aluminum).

When it wore out, I got a '72 Moto Guzzi Eldorado that I rode for years and when I was going to rebuild it, Laura reminded me that if I go down, we lose everything. That bike is now in Denmark.
