This is my Industrial Motor Bike. It took a year to design and year to build.

Jesus Dennis, did you have to post the oil leaker picture?

I like this one better!

If you like your chrome shiny, this isn't the ride for you....

Me and my BMW R1150GSA on the way to Prudhoe Bay.

Several folks "in the know" have told me to buy one of these and get rid of my VFR and WR400F.

Last bike you will ever need is the thought...

Wow. Thats what I was told before I bought mine. I find its the best bike I've ever owned. And I've had over a dozen.:thmbsp:
The only thing I would consider replacing it with is a newer one when this is worn out. But at 17000 km I am a loooong way off yet.

By God, you are right. That is a much better pic. I am 60lbs lighter now though.

IIRC gaspipe has got one of those rare monsters in his garage.

Here's mine, I rode it to dinner last night.

 

[Blast]

These were my last two bikes. '73 Yamaha RD350:


'78 Kawasaki KZ750:



Unfortunately, I had to give up riding. One of the reasons is seen sitting on the RD350. The other is a slowly and ever increasing loss of balance that seems to be so important for riding.

This is my 85 750 Suzuki Katana. This is a picture of a picture so quality is bad. This was a pretty rare bike, as they were only available in Europe and Canada. Not alot were sold becauce the GSX was brought out the same year. My Katana was the perfect mix of sport and comfort, and I sold it 5 years later for $1000 less then I payed.

No description of parts? Bits and pieces used?

Here you go!


This is the "Industrial Motor Bike" I built it it Ron Finch's shop over a year period. Here are a few descriptors.

.The leading link front end down tubes are from a 1962 HD FLH. I bent them and welded on the pivot points, then made up the links out of aluminum bar stock. The fender is HD as is the wheel. The triple trees are 1" plate cut to fit. The head light is from a mid 50s Mac truck and the spot lights are industrial work lights.

.The gas tank is from a Farmall "A" tractor with a tunnel cut in to fit over the back bone. The instrument panel is made from diamond plate and have an oil temp, oil pressure, hydraulic temp, and water temp gauge, as well as the key switch. The handle bars are 1 and 3/4 inch bent tubing and the raisers are big nuts bored out to fit the bars. All hand controls are HD after market. The gauge on the bars is the hydraulic pressure gauge.

.The rear fender is a trailer fender with diamond plate sides screwed on. The tail light is a front turn signal from a mid 40s school bus. The red Jerry cans have the tops cut and hinged and are saddle bags. The rack is from a 50s Cushman scooter. The stainless tanks are the Hydraulic reservoirs. The seat is from an old tractor.

.The engine is a Continental Y112 out of a fork truck driving a hydraulic pump which drives a hydraulic motor on the swing arm which drives a chain to the back wheel....which is a Mickey Thompson car rim with a split hub. The tire is a 230mm. the floor boards are the steps from an old slide and they are cast and read "AMERICAN". The frame is all 4130 chrome molly tubing and wieldable high pressure joint fittings.

Me 02 gixxer, 3rd owner-well taken care of.

 

[kx250rider]

I have one of those too!

That's clean!!! And i like those pipes. I wish I could find a set of vintage V&H or other good aftermarket pipes. The ones on the '86 in the picture, are black painted F1Rs, although I have since replace them with original Honda pipes for display purposes. My '85 (identical except for a few details and the headlight), has a set of good stainless (or aluminum) F1Rs.

.....there's a Toyota commercial lately that's humorous....it shows a hybrid Toyota zipping around three crotch-rockets on a US highway with the announcer saying "it takes lean horsepower to run like this car does"....is that funny or what?....now let's come back to reality and realize those three crotch-rockets could vaporize that Toyota at any given moment....the suction of them going by would turn the car sideways.....
