I wouldn’t mess with the power if you’re getting that kind of gas mileage. I may end up getting one if I get the chance to ride one.

Thanks for the info and sharing!

I’m sure they are fun. I wouldn’t care about the power either. I have the big bikes if needed, but for fun quick rides through the town, I think they are great. Another option would be a small scrambler where you can hit some dirt roads.

Might not be the correct place to ask, but here goes, ANYONE go to the Isle of Man TT?? I'm in South Florida and want to plan a trip for next year. All I know about it, it's fast and LOUD! I have so many questions! Anyone??

Goodwood FOS is where its at from what I hear.. decent cars and motorcycles. if you like road racing, Isle of Man TT is the pinnacle. Honestly, it is quite hard to beat the adrenaline especially watching the helmet cams..

I've been lurking this forum for anyone that's been to Isle of Man. Planning a possible trip, wanting to go next year!  All and any INSIDER info would be greatly appreciated.

Phase one of the 73 iron project is done.

[Dmart]

Looks great. You have some details?

I bought parts for the better part of a year after getting the bike. Lots of kustom tech, fork co, morad style rims 18”and 21”, updated to electric ignition, added a cycle electric alternator, S&S carb, kickstarter added, bates seat and pillion from bates leathers, and also an emd finned primary that I have about 30 hours sanding and polishing into it. Zack at roll on cycle did all the work, his work is amazing. His custom bikes are really nice.

[Dmart]

Awesome work mate! The primary looks incredible. Love the build!

We visited Thunderbike.de today. They had some nice bikes in the showroom. Thought I'd share them with you for those interested

[goosehd]

@Signal11 Thank you for sharing the pictures of your visit.  Some beautiful work although I wonder how rideable some of them are.

@Signal11 , I'd love to take that tour, someday. They've done a number of custom Breakouts, and were certainly influential in my decision to own one.

[Dmart]

What a nice showroom! Thanks for the pics!

[motojobobo]

Very cool!! Thanks for sharing @Signal11

[Signal11]

Glad you liked them.

[louisbosco]

what's the turning circle on those? 

[goosehd]

I really like this bike though and keep coming back to look at it…

[Dmart]

Yep looks great, although I would have preferred a narrow fork, it looks a bit off in combination with the ape’s.

[goosehd]

@Dmart  That was the first thing I noticed and I didn’t like them.  I like them a little more every time I look at them and I think it’s because I haven’t seen a combo like that before.  Narrow glide or Springer forks would be better in every instance, but sometimes rules are meant to be broken…

@Alex and @Olly did a great job with the new IH bike…I didn’t love everything on it, but it is growing on me.  Follow the pack or choose your own path…and it’s the reason I love motorcycles, everyone makes them their own.

Now if someone gave the bike to me, I definitely wouldn’t say no
