Also, my brothers and I have been kicking the idea of send-up of motorcycle gangs for a while and I actually designed a patch:

That Guzzi is flat out beautiful.....Wow!

that guzzi reminded me... somewhere I have the fork covers and headlight nacelle for an early 70s guzzi police special. I probably have the red light as well.
I parted out a wrecked one, once. Since I have not used them in 20 years, I think maybe they should go on ebay....It is not like I will use them now

Thanks much! Of all the bikes I've owned over the years it's the one that will never, ever, get sold. I'd like to get a more up-to-date bike for commuting (maybe a DRZ400 so I can play in the dirt a little too) but the T3 is my baby.

Sorry for the late response - I just saw this. The Red car in front of the Bike is a McLaren Group 2001 Ultima GTR I imported from Hinkly, England. 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. 650 HP wighing in at under 2200 Lbs. When you hit the gas your in another place in another time. Sorta like when Capt. Picard says "Engage".

Driving from LA to the Grand Canyon an Electra Glide in the middle of summer is not a good idea. But we had fun !



This was my old Drag Star, in Switzerland, before I moved to California.



No pics of holding my bass ON the bike yet. Gotta work on that.

Something about Harley's and Leo's basses seems to make everything right in my world.

I've always wanted to give one of those a whirl. Never ridden with a sidecar and I've always had a thing for Urals.

Is that guy 2WD? I can only imagine the fun I could have with a sidecar.
