Panhead Racer and Other TT's

I don't normally like to just lift and post images from other blogs but I had to share this one I found on the Lucky B Design blog.

You don't see many factory photos or bikes like this. Looks to be a '51 TT Racer. Note the raised transmission and the magneto at the generator's location. You can definitely see how bikes like this influenced the street bobbers built by guys like Dick Hirshberg.

I then Googled Panhead TT and almost nothing came up. I did find the '48 below at http://roadboogers-1948panheadtt-bobber.blogspot.com The strange thing about this blog is that it's one page devoted to just this bike. A look at the guy's profile revealed that he has 20 blogs all dedicated to a single bike.

Nice, but a bit too shiny and pretty for me. Should old bikes be so pristine?

Almost a twin '47 from another of his blogs.

Some Dudes....

Like 'm Long Too

She likes it. Other than the forks, the bike itself is nice. I'm not sure the unequal fork links are wise.

Oink Spotting

If your anything like me, you dig checking out bikes in old biker flicks, and also dig Roth's Oink. About a year or so ago I saw this sequence but didn't bookmark it and forgot the film it was from. Recently I found it again and thought I'd share. The film is Run Angel Run. It's a fairly long chase sequence done in a series of split screen shots. All the shots with Oink in frame are pretty quick, so here's the best of them.

You really wouldn't know what bike it is if you didn't see more.


I pasted these frames together as he almost loses it and quickly recovers.


Not sure what frame is better so here's both.


Again you can clearly see the sissy bar's tell tale iron cross.

Maxwell Celtic Arm Tattoo

Maxwell is a fabulous American singer-songwriter and producer, perhaps best known for albums including Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite, Embrya, and BLACKsummers'night.

Maxwell is confirmed to have a single tattoo on his right shoulder, which is celtic in nature and appears to be an umbrella or perhaps a mushroom design.
