Ms RightWing:
Some old bikes are still around...unlike some former cronies.

I know many of us escaped "train wrecks".
(I'm glad you're one of 'em)

Tin Ma'am:
I though you wanted one already.

If you do get one though, remember what I told you about taking the rider safety course, and your instant "invisibility"...

OK, i want one now. I'm jealous. Gimme!!! Gimme!!...

Do you wonder where the choppers are, or your friends who built them?

Well both, I think the choppers are in the scrap yard, though the engines may live on.

My biker friends, well unless they changed their ways, they too, are likely being re--cycled.

Sometimes only a few escape train wrecks. I escaped.

lwood:
"The World's Fastest Indian", an Anthony Hopkins movie...based on a true story. No, I haven't seen it. I wanted to when it came out, but never got 'round to it. Hopefully I'll be able to catch it on cable sometime.

Ms RightWing:
My current ride is a "fathead"; before that I had a "blockhead".
(Some might say I still do...)

Pan heads, shovel heads, Harley heads---that is all I knew or heard about motorcycles back in the day.

I sure got a lot of stories about my friends who built choppers in their apartments back in the late 60's. Acid and Harleys never worked out well for them. (not me, them)

Wonder where they are now?

Cassandra:
Mine is the best, having all the "bells & whistles", "latest & greatest", etc.

boberin:
The Indian does have "unique charm"...and I wouldn't mind owning one "just because".

Marsha:
I was in the Columbus area over the weekend for a wedding.
(And back on the job Sunday PM)

Maggie:
That I was, indeed.

Bunny:
I expect that my bike is (much) more comfortable than any of those older versions.

Hawkeye®:
Nah; different AMA.

The trotting Possum:
I believe those single cylinder Sprints were made in Italy. You're right, they were Harley's shot at cafe racers.

I actually saw one for sale at a farmers' market a few years ago.
(I don't remember how much they wanted for it)

benning:
Well, for 1885, the Einspur was "state of the art".

My bike has over a century's worth of improvements.

Beerme:
Ja, ist.

All:
ELEVENTEEN!!!

That's quite a saddle on the Daimler, nicht wahr?

That Einspur looks like a Rube Goldberg contraption. Kinda nifty, though.

Your bike looks comfortable. Stick with it.

LOL

2008-04-14T14:03:00.000-05:00

I had the privilege of owning a 750Harley-Davidson Sprint for a while. 'Twas quite a beast, with a single horizontal mammary. I guess it was Harley's shot at cafe racers. It was much lighter and more user-friendly than the standard 1200cc Harley monster, and very fast off the line.

I blew it up with bad Mexican gas years ago, but as an oddity, I wonder what it would be worth today.

I didn't know you were a member of the AMA... I guess I'll have to call you "Doctor Camojack"??

2008-04-14T11:15:00.000-05:00

Yes, camo...your "bike" puts all the rest of 'em to shame. This lil' bunny sure did enjoy her "biker tour" of Philly on the back of it... ;-)

These are pretty cool! It's a shame that most were not available.
Cassandra is right though, your has any of these beat (well, the Indian has unique charm...)

I think I do like yours the best.
