Trikikiwi that was one fast bike in her day. know if she is still on the road somewhere?

I heard (through reliable authorities) that it was used and destroyed in "Mad Max".

Sorry, I hadn't looked at this thread for a while. So.....
I don't know where the machine is now, I just pray that no one was ever killed by her

and, Mad Max Hmmm. I doubt if the bike was shipped 2,000 miles across the Tasman Sea for a Movie. But not a bad idea, when ya think about it

Have a Happy and Safe 2009, Riding and Treasure Hunting Everyone

This pic is of my Dad's Dad.


I have tried to ID the bike. Maybe a BSA, maybe an AJS. Can anyone help me with the ID?
I have to guess that the photo was taken 'tween the Wars of I and II.

im still looking for a gt 750 water buffalo to modify, the one i had in the 80's was a screamer, ported, shaved head with the tripple expansion chambered pipes, sweet

Hey Mike,

I was thinking it might be a Velocette or a Matchless...

Can't seem to find an old photo of the primary side... seems like most show the gearcase side of the engine.

Here's a Velocette

​

and a Royal Enfield

​

I'll keep looking...

I've always had a preference for our V twins, but have had a flock of the Limey bikes over the years.
They always handled a lot nicer and most were prettier than our hogs.

Those trikes ARE lots of fun, Mac.

I once knew some fellas out in the desert had a bunch of 'em with hotrod Porsche motors.
Very fast!

My kid has one of those 600rr honda bikes. Won everything in it's class for a number of years, I guess.
Just like you said. he's wishing he had got something bigger, and more of a touring style, because it's uncomfortable after more than a few hours riding.

They're all fun.
A great way to enjoy the country!

I appreciate your efforts. Matchless is one I have also considered in my research.
The old Enfield is a pretty amazing machine considering you can still buy them new today.
Thanks, Mike

Wonder if he actually got an inspection sticker...awesome.

I was advised to load my scoot pic here too. It's a 98 lowrider ... I'm the 56 bowlegger. This is the "trip" configuration: Bolt-on windshield, padded stock seat and sissybar. For local rides I lose the windshield and sissybar, put on a slammer seat, and lose the helmet (not required in Illinois) The shot was taken in downtown Chattanooga, TN for the 2005 Trail of Tears ride to Waterloo, AL. Besides the chrome add-ons, the HP was bumped with an overbore, highreach cam, Mikuni 42 carb and hypercharger ... she can move!

 

[The Beep Goes On]

Very nice hyperion!
