Any Gear Heads/Bikers Around?

[A-Jay]

So, I'm new to the forums here and was just wondering if anybody shares my passion (Other than all things Disney)? I own a small custom bike shop here in rochester and do everything from custom paintwork to full custom built motorcycles. When I'm not working, and there isn't snow on the ground I'm out riding. Most of my buddies don't get the Disney thing. The guys at the welding shop next door think I'm nuts, because on sundays I keep the mood in the shop "The second happiest place on earth" going with a little radio buena vista. For those of you not familiar with RBV, it is an internet radio station that plays music from the WDW theme parks, and as I stated earlier this gets blasted through the speakers on sundays instead of the usual barrage of Hardcore Metal. Any how, Let me know if you ride, wrench, have a pair of Mouse ears on your helmet, got some Disney ink., whatever.

Tried throwin' in a pic. Guess I gotta get my post count up. So later I guess.

Yup I'm one, not sure which obsession is worse. I have 2 Bikes - A Harley Electra glide with full custom paint and a Honda VTX 1800 that I have customized into a chopper with full custom paint. If I'm not wrenching one of the Bikes or planning a Dis trip than I'm out riding

No Mouse ears but my girlfriend has suggested updating the paint job on the Harley to include some hidden Mickey’s might be a project for this cold long winter - Unless I get the BMW project bike that was offered to me.

Oh Ya on 5 days till my next trip to see the mouse

Yeah, I am a motor head as well. Have had a number of bikes, starting with a 350 Honda back in the 70's. Then it was into dirt bikes, and then I had a 650 Triumph, and my next bike after that was a HD Police Special. But the bikes I am into nowadays are pedal powered! But still into cars, I have scheduled a few trips to DW so it coincided with the Gatornationals. Another nice side trip from DW is a ride up to Garlits' museum. And who remembers the restaurant on I-Drive called Race Rock?

I loved Race Rock! Food wasn't very good, but it was such a cool atmosphere. Cool guys. Post up some pics of of your rides. Here is a pic of my little bobber, this was our first full build, fun as all hell to ride.

Cool looking bike, love the solo seat. I used to watch American Choppers, but thought some of the things they did was amatuerish. Tapping holes right into a piece of tubing is not they way to go, IMO. All of the threaded holes on my 'toy' are into welded-through bosses. I will try to get a picture up of it. It's not a bike but think you will appreciate it.

Nice bike, Bart! Here is my summer ride, not a bike, but I get as much wind in my face as being on one. And I don't have to put my foot down when I stop for a light.

Na Bubba, it's a Softie. I'm sure as hell doesn't ride like your bagger though.

Nice paint work by the way.

Here's a ridged I'm finishing up and we got a bagger in the works

Started out life as a Buell Thunderbolt.

Ahoff, Like the buggie Did you build the chassis??

 

[NH_Bubba]

A-Jay not much Buell left in that but I love the look. Here are a couple photos of my Honda before I tore it down last winter.

Thanks AJ. The bare frame was shipped out from California. I had to add quite a few things to it, and fabricated all the aluminum and stainless parts myself.
