Tremor Owners Who Have A PASSION FOR MOTORCYCLES

[Gotbeer 🍺🍺]

I'm more interested in the mini house (probably where you brew the beer, don't lie!) and the four legged animal by the tree. Please enlighten us masta grasshoppa.

That is my raised chicken coop. I also make wine and thus the name of our wine is Chick-In-Coop. Without too many details, ater I built the coop I may have talked my wife into christening the coop. Hence the name Chick-In Coop. As for the 4 legged friend, that is my very old and well used deer decoy and target. He has since been retired and is just a lawn ornament now. Beer is brewed in the basement. You may also see a face in the tree if you look hard enough. He is the keeper and watches over all back yard activities.

In 1981 I agreed to sell a car on consignment through a small sports car shop. A couple months later I learned that my car had sold several weeks earlier (but I had not been paid or notified of the sale.). I demanded immediate payment, but the guy who owned the small business was only able to come up with half of the $20,000 he owed me. I was ready to report him to the police and sue him for conversion of my property, but he asked me for 60 days and agreed to sign over the title to his blue 1964 Porsche Carrera-4. The four-cam cars were a bear to tune, but they were sporty in their day. Even in 1981, that was an extremely rare car, and his was a pristine example that had lived it’s life in the garage. It was like new in every respect. (This particular car was actually featured in the fat Porsche “coffee table book”.) And I owned it for $10,000… At that time it was probably worth about $30,000, maybe a bit more. Today that particular car is probably worth close to $1 million.

Unfortunately, I let the guy off the hook. He paid me the $10,000 he owed me, gave me a new Bilstien suspension package for my beater VW Rabbit, and threw in $1000. That was enough penance.

I add this to my long list of stupid decisions that kept me from becoming wealthy.

Oh man. Talk about nostalgia, I've got fond childhood memories of two Rabbits - a carbureted '72, and a fuel injected '80. My parents road tripped us all over the country in those cars.
Still have the dog dish hubcaps from one of em hanging in my shop.

The one in the middle of the second picture looks kinda like my uncle Fred from behind.

He never wore a thong of course, and he wasn’t quite as heavy, but he sure did strain those tighty-whities when he was trying to get back into his jeans after a day at the beach. We couldn’t turn our backs fast enough! I haven’t thought about that image in years….

 

[Whaler27]

I don’t wish to be unkind, and I would never be critical to them personally, but I think Sturgis could use a little less of this:

…. and a little more of this:

I don’t know. Tastes obviously differ. Each to his own. Seems like Sturgis is about 80% Harley. Maybe the fit ones are at the Honda or BMW rally?

Here's the last motorized two wheeler I owned:

Now I only have human powered two-wheelers. I think I paid just as much for those, ironically. Mountain bikes have gotten stupidly expensive.

Ooh! Did someone say 2 wheels?
Barn find I picked up. Actually, it was stored in my dentist's basement recently room. I asked him to sell it to me for years. He finally did when he retired. I have to go through everything rubber and check for dry rot, cracking, etc. Rebuild the suspension. The carbs got Ivan's jet kit and a rebuild. Everything is surprisingly clean. No tank rust. He put it on display the right way. Only 2200 miles and it is 100% factory.
More to come!

I lusted after the Eddie Lawson scheme since they came out. Couldn't pass this one up for the price!

Just got back into owning one. My first bmw

The BMW boxers are a joy to ride. They provided great fun and comfort even thirty years ago when they were light on horsepower, but now they have ample power and they’re even more fun.
