    Anyone have an interesting off-season project?

    Off-season project: Added this to the stable: 1977 Harley-Davidson FXE Shovelhead (been converted to an FLH). Hasn't been run/ridden for 6 years. Should be running by the spring.

    Honestly, from my perspective, and it's just my opinion...yes it looks that bad. You should be able to find another person to ride with. j/k

    Please don't become another statistic and show wisdom

    I assure you that bad driving (on bikes and cars) is not a new thing and not caused by COVID. Young people on fast bikes with some open road in front of them has led to bad decisions for generations. Most grow out of their reckless tendencies in a few years, but they are quickly replaced by...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    Nothing like the spray from your rear tire going straight into your carbs. It looks like a project that hasn't been completed. No front fender, no headlight, no mirrors, no turn signals, bad electrical routing, no taillight, no rear fender of any sort. I can only imagine the wiring mess...

    Counter clockwise racing circuit more deadly?

    "It is believed that Barbosa's bike suffered a brake failure which caused it to smashed it into a nearby metal barrier." Pretty sure that the direction of the track is a relatively unimportant factor.

    The Motor Company takes another hit

    Changing that sprocket may be inconvenient the few times that you have to do it in the bikes lifetime, but functionally, it is a better design. As this bike is a design exercise I am not offended by its inclusion.

    The Motor Company takes another hit

    Wow, you guys are tough. You are essentially expecting a "student design exercise" to be at a production-ready level which should solve all possible technical and design flaws. Not only that, it should fix all of the biased perceptions of Harley owners and dealers and fix their distribution...

    The Motor Company takes another hit

    Did I miss something? What is wrong with the brake rotors? Why is a hanging engine a problem? Are you assuming a "crappy retaining system" because it is made by Harley? Would it still be a "crappy retaining system" if Honda made it? What is wrong with a front sprocket as the rear pivot...
