Found these images some year or so back. It’s “Barn Job!” I always keep these sorts of vintage drag motorcycle images around as inspiration for y next build. It’s a chopper? It’s a bobber? Who cares. There’s just something about casting away the frills for pure, raw, screaming, hate-filled, SPEED! Just look at this thing. This is a blow-your-hair back kind motor-cicle. Who wouldn’t love to have one of these things sitting around in the garage quietly waiting to kill you? This message has been Speed Club Approved
I’m a big fan of Triumphs and when I saw this one at First Thursday, I was all over the thing. I must have taken at least a dozen photos of this thing. It is clean as the day it rolled out of the storage container. Lets face it, Triumph has always produced the greatest tanks. They look fast and follow the frame perfectly. Speed Club approved. Dig it.
Went out last night with Druncle and picked up this monster; a 2000 Yamaha Banshee. For all my 2 wheeled interest, I’m an ATV man when it comes to spring/summer powersports. In case you’ve been living under a rock, these Banshee’s are KILLERS! With a 350cc twin, water cooled 2-stroke motor, aftermarket aluminum head and FMF pipe, this thing cranks out about 45HP making it the fastest-accelerating two-stroke engine ever produced. Not bad for weighing in at only 386lbs. It’s no chopper or bobber but it is crazy fast, good old-fashioned Minnesota fun !
I come from Boston – which basically means beer is a meal; and by beer I mean Guinness. Swung by grumpy’s the other night after dropping the hardtail off at Druncle’s garage. Grumpy’s has $6 flights. For those who dont know what a flight is; its your choice of 4 domestic or import beers served in mini pints (4oz.) on a cutting board. 4 Guinness please, and a burger.
