- James
This 1926 James was not around in my area in the 50’s It’s way too cool for a schoolboy to even hope for.
This is the Condor……..and remember gun control means using both hands.
This is the late Bob Ross’s dirt bike. Note the oversized exhaust. “Ya can’t eat if ya can’t shit” was one of Bob’s sayings. This two cam could throttle wheelie in 2nd gear. Bob sort of inherited Eddy Ryan’s shop in Pedro. Bob renamed it Motorcycles Only. “We buy junk and sell fine used parts” was the motto. And yes, I do miss Bob. He was a great guy. And a terrific motorcycle mechanic.
- Hortense
I almost forgot.. Bob named this bike Hortense because he put ladies falsie cups on each side of the tanks as knee pads. There was a shortage of knee rubbers after the war and so he just used falsies. The bike got repainted and the falsies removed before this photo was taken in Tulare mid 1980’s.
This guy looks familiar.
Hot Rod Two Cam
1930 DL, that’s a 45..Note the dual headlamps and the dual tube silencer. Unique to 1930 HD’s. Oh yeah, and some 1929’s..
Why yes, now that you asked…a full size rigid does slide nicely… if ya got enough power..
Question…. Are you guys a real club???****Answer: That depends on how you define it! There are now quite a few who claim membership. All kinds, some are motorcycle people. Some may not be. Some, you don’t want to F$#* with. Some of us ride togeather in a group. Some of us ride solo. All of us are working on our mental health. Remember, if you’re a Lucky Bastard, you are Bitchin’, everyone else is just food!
Questions, questions, questions…——-I was asked the other day why we ride.. The best I could come up with is “to maintain my mental health”. Works for me!
Final check, desert race? Nice helmet!
1937 BSA, ain’t it cool!
