Gonna be in Kerrville to ride the Sisters the week of Thanksgiving and stop at the usual spots.
. Anyone wants to join the ride....welcome. Should be cooler riding mebbe. No crowd. Ken
And instead of pix of these bikes we get your ugly mug ?
My momma has never said that!
The pan is the bike behind my handsome mug and yes I'll work on getting some pictures tomorrow, these codgers ride every weekend, the boat tail is in a league of it's own
Only got the one of the Shovels today, the boat tail owner took it to Tennessee riding the Dragon and Blue Ridge. We went on a long trip today and the Panhead stayed in the garage.
The old dude pictured is Vietnam Vet 75 years old riding a 89" stroked Shovel and will hold it's own plus he rides it likes a young man.
The center bike is the bike in the above post, he puts a 2 up seat on it when his 73 year old wife wants to ride with us, they rode that bike from Ohio to Cali and back years ago 2 up, warriors.
Boat tail is in the back, will get some close ups of it soon.
that 89"er has real nice paint... I'm sure it goes as well... What year?
I believe that one is the 1974, his brother who also owns the boat tail has one just like it also with a 4 3/4 stroke S&S. Bike in the picture with billet front wheel has a nice running compressioned 80" Evo with my 580 Mackie cam in it, the 89" Shovel will pull the 80" Evo now because it is fresher but has been even for years. The Shovel with the 4 3/4 stroke S&S pulls away from both bikes and newer bikes with big engines want to stay away from it, believe it is 98"
I actually like those two better than the boat tail. And you know it's funny the old school guys still believe in long duration cams like Crane, Dave Mackie even Leinweber.. In fact the current loaner motor that I've had in my 98,' it's a stroker with a crane H310-2... You should feel this thing pull at 3,500 RPMs.... son of a b****

Boat tail is ugly but a freak, only seen one other, it was roped off at a dealer.
The guy with the Evo was just talking about it's not a good 2 up bike, power is on or off but no way in hell I could get that Mackie cam back from him.

Without a doubt the power band is high and not good for two up and I agree.... That's why I like that modified cam I have from woods It works pretty good all over the place.. but it's in a stroker 96"we..
