Comment on Look familiar???? Scout? Racing Indian???..No, it’s a 1926 racing Mabeco (German). by blindmelon

If only Charles Franklin could speak to us today…..He did so much to make the Indians
run on the track…He would probably know about the Maybeco company and how much they
“borrowed” from Indian motorcycles…….

Comment on Here’s an old racer, with 8 valves…A four valve twin was available as a street model…Know what brand this is?? by blindmelon

blindmelon — Wed, 02 May 2012 21:49:19 +0000

We can’t help but wonder….Did Paul Bigsby know of the Mabeco 45 overhead valve engine?
Paul and Al Crocker made a OHV conversion for Paul’s Indian Scout some time in 1928…Mabeco
stopped production of it’s Indian copy in 1927….Just wonderin’ and we’ll probably never
know the truth…….

Yeah that’s right…We’re referring to the infamous Dr.Sprocket. He now has a column in Greasy Kulture Magazine…He’s a talented guy and we look forward to reading his thoughts on motorcyles, motorcycling, fat tires, fat heads ect….He’s an encyclopedia of info on
older custom and chopper motorcycles…

All persons mentioned are fictious and are NOT based upon folks you may know…We’re bored out of our skulls today and just needed to make some stuff up…By the way Pat is not a Prince, just a wanna be cop with a bully attitude. We don’t love cops…They’re just another unpleasant part of life in the big city.

If you look ever so closely…….You may discover an interesting VL updated front brake.
Can you see the dual cam setup???? So far, the ONLY one you’ll see on a VL… An exclusive
for Green Ella, the BIG VL Flathead.

Comment on Too bad we can’t get these in California….F’n Clean Air Commies won’t let 2012′s in….Maybe, just maybe we can sneak a few in from TJ and then keep ‘em in a “Sanctuary City” as an “undocumented” vehicle… by blindmelon

Comment on Brough Superior Front Fork, showing dampner…. Interesting the same type of dampner used on the 1928 Harley board tracker….Known as a Castle Fork, this type of springer was used by a number of bike manufacturers over the years…Harley riders just called ‘em “springers”… by blindmelon

blindmelon — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:40:46 +0000

Many Thanks to Professor George Hood for identifying this type of ride control and
knowing that Brough Superior used it on some of their road bikes.. The “Castle” fork
has been credited to Harley as the originators of this fork….Not really true… Ain’t
life strange? This type of dampner, as shown on the Harley board tracker used huge
bearings on the rockers….I’ll bet the designer was trying to get all the stability
he could….. Springer forks with loose rocker bearings have a tendency to allow
a deadly wobble to develop at speeds over 80 mph….

Comment on Let’s see here…Spin on oil filter, 12v electrics, hand brake on the right, sprung saddle….Somebody must actually ride this thing! by blindmelon

Comment on Freedom is not Free… We have and continue to pay in blood… God Bless the United States… Never forget…And keep your eyes open… by JEFE

It sickens me to see how people fight over the next deal at the store during this season. On Dec 7th and Sept 11th the U.S. should shut down to remember the sacrifice people have made for freedom their are only 2 people who died for us Jesus Christ and the American G.I. one died for your soul the other your Freedom. GOD BLESS AMERICA

Comment on OK boys and girls….Today we will cover Harley Exhaust Flow and Design…The short discussion attached, excludes a number of varibles such as velocity and doesn’t mention that the “pipe length” includes the volume in the exhaust port, starting at the exhaust valve seat… by blindmelon

blindmelon — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 20:07:50 +0000

Yeah, this crap really does work….We’ve been playing with exhaust pipes, mufflers, drag
pipes ect…..for over 40 years a few things that do work…Remember, the more volume in
the pipe/s before entering a restriction/baffle or atmosphere the smaller the exit opening
can be and the engine will still develope good power and torque…That’s why a Chevy truck
with a 350 can get good power with a single 2 inch exhaust pipe….Volume in the pipe
allows the the exhaust to cool and contract the futher it travels…

Keeping the velocity up with correct sized tubing with the proper length and reversion
dams makes for excellent flow and power from the engine.

Comment on Be kind to your web-footed friends……. For a duck may be somebodys’ mother…… by blindmelon

blindmelon — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:59:10 +0000

Who among you would know: The “be kind to a web-footed friend” refers to an
alternate verse to the patriotic “Stars and Strips Forever”? J.P.Sousa

We used to have a little fun with patriotic stuff…..Now, there’s so little
patroitism, there is no point and nobody gets it….Just sayin’…
