Motorcycle to go with C10

[powell72]

Saw this Pan at The Nugget car show during Speedweek and couldn't keep my tongue off the pavement...but I'm almost as consumed with 60's styled Harley's as I am old trucks. It was in the back of an original paint, lowered '59 El Camino.

I like the old with the modern theme. I always get tons of compliments on the truck and bike while at the track, though I could do without the 3 hour drive home after a full day on the roadrace course with the bike.

For some reason you guys are making me think about buying a vintage bike.

[VWNate1]

Wow ~ a 'K ' model ! .

For those young pups who don't know : those old flat head 750 C.C. Harleys tore up the dirt tracks when I was a kid then the iron head XR's came in and were even faster.....

Most think of Harley - Davidsons as plodding Cruiser / Touring Rigs . they can be but there's plenty of fast ones too ~ I rode a 1937 EL KnuckleHead 61" and a 1965 FL PanHead LC 74" all over and they didn't ride on trucks like the poseurs do to - day .

My dream bike is a bone stock '57 K Model to ride , ride and ride some more .

Wow! Two street K model Harleys and what looks like a KR! I learned to ride on a 1957 K model in 1963. I wasn't old enough to get a license but I did ride it in several woods trials in Daytona Beach.

Lets not forget that the legendary Evel Knievel switched from Norton's to a Harley Davidson XR-750

I just finished my 1971 CT70 last fall. Can't wait to put it in the back of the ol '69.

Ever so slight topic drift here :

Vintage Motos are fun and easy to do as well .

If you stick with Hinda Tiddlers , they're amazingly cheap and the Lifan engines are license built in China , having very good reliability , shop carefully as there are two different bolt patterns so it's easy to buy a cool engine that won't fit your old CT90 (or whatever)'s frame .

They often have AutoClutches , this weird and wonderful thing allows you to have a manual transmission that shifts when you step on the clutch pedal ~ no hand clutch means you can hoon it and engage in all manner of tomfoolery , fairly safely .

Of course , they are available with manual clutches too .

The original engines are dead simple to rebuild and parts easily available OEM via Beatrice Cycle AKA : DR ATV ~ most of his stuff is original HONDA parts no longer imported by Honda N.A. for some foolish reason .

Man that is one sweet rare bike... Love it...

[evan396]

I will have to vote for the Honda ct70's . I will say I am partial to these bikes because I have restored four of them. They are going to be in the back of my truck, when I find one to restore.PS sounds like a couple of little Honda members here to.

[Elliot949]

I think I would prefer a Harley FLHX and or a '65 Schwinn Fastback 20" 5 speed...
