Sometimes 2 wheels are better than 4! Post yer motorcycle up...

i know this is supposed to be about the bikes...but is that a slant six with a shaker in the background of that first pic?

Good eye. That was the car that convinced me that a 225 could go. That car, mild 225, 3.55 gear and Firestone Cheater Slicks went 15 flat. The next Shaker Cuda went 13.49. Not real quick but 40 years ago it was respectable.
