Willard's dual engine shovelhead street bike. He fired it up for me. It sounds like a single engine when it's running - since they run with each other perfectly. After many trials and tribulations with this . . . he said it cruises around great. And gets lots of looks of coarse.
Another 2 into 1 . . . I don't know . . . but, I dig it !
Our little town had it's historic suspension walking bridge destroyed by a flood a couple years ago. The city council voted to replace it with this thing (open last week) at a cost of about $4 million dollars.
Went into Kung Fu on Saturday after I met Ricky in the parking lot for some ironhead Sportster swapping. I noticed the Danny Hanson tribute decal on the door on the way in . . . so, I had a Hamms and 3 tacos for a guy who probably wishes he could be munching on some of these delicious hard shells. Don't know who he was, or if I ever met him - but, he musta been a cool dude for someone to make a decal for him. Go Danny go !
Lookin' for parts, driving the backroads of our great state. We've all been "pickin" before the show ever hit the air. It's fun and a great way to see the country.
Hey Watson . . . we missed you man. In the spirit of Larry the show went on - bad ass rods and the legends who build 'em. Uncle Bob Spina with Maria & Roger O'Dell (Watson's friends from way back). Hey Spina - cool shirt. If you weren't there - you might be square?
The onlookers in this photo seem a little nervous about this guy jackin' a wheelie. An inline 4 Honda with open exhaust - this hill climber thing is causing a stir . . .
A local guy who attended Sturgis way back when thought I might like this being a motorcycle enthusiast and flat track fan. It was real nice of him. Thanks Ronnie !
I was going though some old magazines and found this feathure on my friend Bob Spina.
Old Photo of Ricky Noot:(that'd be me)
There are very few photos of this guy. A man of mystery . . . He has the best sayings and quotations.
This bike ran the ice, the Black Hills, over to the Mississippi, over hill & dale and never let me down - why I sold it???? I had too many motorcycles. They really wake up with a pipe, bigger main and cut the CV spring a couple coils. Then it snarled . . .
New mainshaft and countershaft. New door bearing. All set up and ready to go in the case.
I dig the fairing ! . . . and the bright tangerine, - you can't be too bland in Vegas or they look at you funny.
Jesse gave me a lighter that day . . . said to keep it. I helped with some barriers and we talked about Leo Payne and Bonneville - I was just gettin' ready to ride out to Deadwood. I was kinda a geek . . . still am a little. (easy now)
Don't know about those fender struts . . ?

Kawi/Yammy/Honda Chopper Builder - San Leandro, California
All these big custom bike builders usually just take the easy way with a Super E or G . . . come on guys . . . anybody know where there's a blower I could put on my '65 stroker motor? Let's build a bomb !
This is fuckin' huge . . . I've been sending some e-mails back and forth to Gak from Japan. I've always admired the builds that come from Hawgholic and Sporty Garage. Best wishes and I'll catch up with you sometime. Ride on from across the pond ! -Noot
