  1. Show me the link to the pic, Steve.
  2. Perhaps you are correct, Pegasus, but the stock 1977 CB750A had a four into two exhaust and the passenger foot peg mounts were an aluminum casting. This looks like a 1976 with the four into one pipe and the passenger foot pegs mounted on the tubular frame extensions. And that seat is confusing me, too. The passenger grab bar is proper for a later CB750A, but not the touring bucket seat configuration. Perhaps the seat was re-done?
  3. Well, I give up trying to find that pic. My answer: 1976 Honda CB750A Hondamatic.
  4. I know it is a Honda CB750 Hondamatic. I have to find your pic.
  5. Do you fall asleep watching golf on TV...? Yep, one of my favorite Sunday afternoon pastimes. Need a nap? Turn on the TV to a golf game. Zzzzzzzzzz.
  6. Here's a tricky one. Remember: Make, Model, Year.
  7. Megola The Megola was a German motorcycle produced between 1921 and 1925 in Munich. Like Bimota, the name is a portmanteau derived loosely from the names of its designers Meixner, Cockerell, and Landgraf. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6f/MHV_Megola_01.jpg/800px-MHV_Megola_01.jpg
  8. Kurt, are you going to submit a bike for us to find?
  9. OK, Close enough. It is a 2009 Bimota Tesi 3D, Rock Gold, Daad Dantone Edition. As a part of a multi-brand collaboration, Bimota has teamed up with designer Daad Dantone to make this blacked out Testi 3D with gold inserts. The Tesi 3D will match other one-off goods made for Daad’s “Rock Gold” display in Milan. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_XfmNfhGQqC8/THFRnunbpmI/AAAAAAAAAj8/-GZk2J_35i8/s1600/N_01+Bimota+Tesi+3D+Rock+Gold.jpg
  10. Yes it is a Bimota Tesi, but it is a special Bimota Tesi. Can you be more specific? Find the original pic and post it?
  11. Unlike the last posted motorcycle, this is Beautiful! But it will be easy to guess.
  12. http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/tag/transitron-mk-ii/ 1978 Transitron MKII Prototype http://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads//2014/03/AM14_r187_001-700x463.jpg 1978 Transitron Mk II prototype http://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads//2014/03/AM14_r187_005-700x463.jpg http://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads//2014/03/AM14_r187_006-700x463.jpg
  13. It appears to be a circa 1970 Harley FX SuperGlide with a homemade electric motor conversion. I'll keep looking for the photos.
  14. The 'low battery water level' warning will not flash if the sensor wire is hooked to 12 volts, but if there is not a 2K ohm to 20K ohm (opinions vary on what the correct resistor value is) resistor in line from the 12 volt source to the CMS, you will run the risk of damage to the CMS from the excessive voltage.
  15. I don't think this was raced in any AMA races in the US, but apparently it was allowed elsewhere.
  16. My source claims my pic was of 1914 Cyclone Board Track Racer. Notice the smooth tires.
  17. 1954 AJS 497cc E95 Porcupine " Racing Motorcycle" Frame no. F3, Motor No E2 / 54 http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/autopia/2011/05/1954-AJS-E95-01.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Qe5FqCP3i7A/Tl49QXV0EwI/AAAAAAAAHPw/cPoVHNyddMY/s640/AJS-33.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zgITAHjvGuA/Tl48yvB58sI/AAAAAAAAHPk/2CR2fpo7lHw/s1600/AJS-03.jpg
  18. I run with BeadRider beaded cover. They are motorcycle specific. http://www.beadrider.com/ As to the OP: I ran a sheared sheepskin over a stock seat for awhile. The sheepskin I used was from a WalMart car seat cover. Didn't help my marshmallow butt. I then switched to BeadRider beads with a stock seat. Good improvement, although I found that my butt would roll forward when braking. I went to a RoadSofa seat without the BeadRider for a while, but I soon added the BeadRider to RoadSofa. In the summer heat, I found the RoadSofa very hot, perhaps because of the gel insert. Adding the BeadRider to the RoadSofa made for the most comfort. Perhaps, instead of putting the sheepskin over the beads, try putting the beads on top of the sheepskin.
  19. I agree, Mike. But it is also a pretty good plastic lubricant and that was the only trouble with my stuck switch, just needed to physically free up the plastic button from the plastic housing. The switch was not electrically faulty. Just mechanically bound.
  20. Need a hint? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/UniontownPennsylvaniaBoardTrack1916Construction.jpg/220px-UniontownPennsylvaniaBoardTrack1916Construction.jpg
  21. You wanted something different?
  22. The Fanbike: 2003. A more recent propellor-driven cycle, with a shrouded pusher propellor this time. Built by John Wiltbank. http://www.douglas-self.com/MUSEUM/TRANSPORT/motorcycle/fanbike2a.jpg I 'guess' you could call that a 'motorcycle', 'cause it has a mainly two wheels and a motor. I wonder how fast it could go? I wonder how fast would you want to go in that contraction.
  23. Exactly, right. Find the pic?
  24. Ever seen one of these? Not me.
