Motorcycle frames and such..

[greenlikeme]

I really dig those welds and the bikes turn out beautiful!

Never seen this thread before, some really amazing builds in here!

Here's what my welder does when I'm not interrupting him to weld bicycle frames.

Is that drag or Land Speed? Looks a bit like a 'liner frame, but I know so little about rice...

You are a little farther along than me. I need to get an extra big roll of duct tape and various sized hammers.

Is that an 850? I've always had a Commando hard-on

It's drag. Not sure which class this one is for, but I'm thinking Pro Mod. Usually 3-4 of them sitting around in various stages of completion.

Very, very sweet.

Looking for a HD 4 speed Rigid frame by the way, stock or close to it if anyone has the lead.... Pan or Shovel only, no flatheads or knuckles, please

Bumping for the BOTT XR1. I'm thinking I might need to build one of these.

I know nothing about motorcycles except that my friends who ride them have forbidden me from ever doing so as they believe that I would do something stupid.

I do know about NYC and I know that I would never leave a beautiful, spotless, not even a speck of dust on it, probably expensive machine parked on the street simply because other parkers don't care about smacking the vehicles in front of and behind them.

That said, this was parked on 67th and York last night and I thought I would share it as it spoke to me as just a gorgeous machine and I figure there may be one or two of you who would appreciate it as art also.

Polaris acquired Indian a few years ago, the latest of several attempts to revive this historic brand. I love motorcycles (no longer ride myself), and the retro aesthetic on these and Harleys is not for me, but they have done a really nice job with the relaunch - so nice that even grinchy me can admire this bike. Nice photo!

Figured I'd just leave this here.
