How many are into motorcycles?

I have been into motorcycles since I was a kid. As I "grew up" I got into hotrods as well... seemed a natural progression to go to hot rod motorcycles. Here is my bike and wifes trike. Bike sports a 600 hp 427 with an additional 100 shot on the bottle. Wifes trike runs a 434 making almost 600 hp with the same NOS shot. Both are Dart blocks and heads. Trike has a powerglide and a 9" ford posi under the back.

Launching a heavy bike comes into play there.. They run mid to low 9s depending on track.. Love leaving black marks at freeway speed..

Not here at work, but it's your basic black Road Glide. You would think after 90,000 miles I would have more pics...hmmm

That's a good looking bike. Mine has some cosmetic issues and needs a lot of work. The tank needs sealed, voltage reg needs replaced, the seat is torn, and the carbs need rebuilt. I have never had the chance to ride mine. It was actually payment for helping a friend fix his truck. I knew it did not work but hey I figure I can fix it.

In the late seventies the only bike I would buy was the GS Zooks. I picked this one up in 2004 and restored it. It's still the funnest bike I have ever done.
In 2007 I sold it to the drummer of the rock band "Poison", Ricky Rocket. I believe he still owns it.

Cool bike. I had a couple Yamaha XS bikes back then. First a 750 special then an 1100 special. Very fast for its time.
Super clean road king chevy guy.. I have a super glide with a 6 speed.. fun bike.
