Heard it's a wild time...

 

Too Cool

I remember seeing this bike, but I'm pretty sure I found the pic on http://knucklebuster1939.blogspot.com/

Absurd

 

I wish I could rescue these poor pans from these abominations...

 

Al's Place

Over the weekend, me and Ken took a cruise over to Al Kelly's place in Ken's newly acquired '74 Dart Swinger.

Matt's been assisting in some "old iron revival" with Al's '73 Sportster project.

 

 

45 project coming together beautifully.

 

Unique color on the original paint Sportster tins.

 

 

For Sale: 1985 Plymouth Gran Fury Ex Police Car

I really dont want to do this but up for sale is my ol' cop car. It's a 1985 Plymouth Gran Fury (Same exact car as the Dodge Diplomat) It's got about 130K miles, 318 V8, 2bl carb, Flowmaster dual exhaust with turbo mufflers, Hedman headers, the heat works, a/c is disconnected, spotlight works. The K member is fine with no cracks. It's a solid car, no rust except for a few specs (chips in paint on rocker panels)

New head gasket and rocker arms were rebuilt at 80K miles, ball joints were replaced at 104K, the trans fluid and filter were changed, new steering box, tie rod ends, front pads and rotors at 120K, new front tires and alignment just a few months ago. The unreliable Electronic Lean Burn system has been eliminated with a new vacuum advance distributor. Lastly, it just had an oil change.

What you see is what you get minus the cb radio. I have some extra trim pieces, original wide cop tire spare, and stock exhaust manifolds. I also have the manual and original build sheet from Chrysler. These cars are getting rare but parts are not! This car was my college car for the past 5 years and its time for me to move onto something else. This car is a blast to drive and runs great and really comfortable on the highway! $2,700 or best offer. Contact me at captcal@gmail.com

 

Shovel Updates

I haven't put up any changes to the '81 in awhile, so here are some.  Starting with the 4" over tubes, but I switched out the triple trees to an old aftermarket set of black steel flat ones.  I'm looking for a set of 6"+ 35mm tubes if anyone has any...

 

Scored these awesome old chromed Harley style pegs from Manx.

NOS, still have the old Ted's Cycle Shed price sticker on them.

The matching Crazy Frank seats reunited.

Bolted on some comfy pullbacks that fit the bike way better than the Z bars.

 

 

December Cruising

Took a ride this Sunday down to Shakey Jakes in Byram for an Antuique meeting. There was a foggy chill in the morning but it turned out to be a great day for a ride. It's always a good time meeting up over drinks and just motorcycle bull shitin.
