admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:31:38 +0000

my father rode a motorcycle in Britian in around 1978, and the brand started with a "B". he cant remember the rest, but he wants to find another bike like it. it was a 50cc.

not a lot of bsa in 78, how do i know i was riding rusan stuf then & had been for over 8 years

What is the meaning of American Chopper, American Hotrod etc…?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:31:31 +0000

What is the meaning of the shows, i have understand so much that it is about motorcycles and cars, but what are they doing on a channel meant to Discover new things like the mayan civillisation nor the universe, why then take with dirty jobs, American Chopper, American Hotrod, ultimate Cars and with everything regarding cars, i know they have Discovery Turbo, why not move them to that channel instead of showing them on the original channel. What do you think.

they are more interested in making tv than the job they set out to do in the first place, and surprise surprise every project runs over !?

they aren’t informative at all and in my opinion would be better placed on another channel.

having said that they are sometimes entertaining, but in no way informative, it’s also annoying with the massive banners all over the workshops for tool suppliers etc, but they obviously bring in a good advertising revenue so they won’t be dissapearing anytime soon.

a much better (informative and entertainment wise) show is the series of shows with Mark Evans presenting, including "a racing car is born" "a 4X4 is born" "a plane is born" etc.

on the other hand if you’re interested in actually learning anything don’t bother with "Chop shop" – London garage or "The Garage"

Motorcycle title for custom bike?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:31:25 +0000

I’ve been thinking it would be fun to build a custom motorcycle using an engine from a 300ex or 400ex ATV. I can think of multiple problems initially, one of which is how to obtain a title to make it street legal. Could I buy a parts bike with a title and use it for my custom bike if I use some parts from it as well?

Anybody done anything like this?

TALK TO THE STATE DOT IF IT PASSES THE LEGAL REQUIRED EQUIPMENT LAWS AFTER INSPECTION THEY WILL ISSUE YOU A TITLE

What happened to Orange County Choppers, used to be a fan, but haven’t kept up with the show in a while?

What happened to Mikey and Paul Jr?

Paul Jr. had a major falling out with Sr. and left the company to set up his own design company. Mikey was caught in the middle and when the contract he and his father set up ran out they too had a falling out and he left the company and started promoting his own art work. Sr. is still building bikes.

how exactly would donated Harley Davidson motorcycles help in the Haiti relief effort?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:31:03 +0000

"The 28 Buell and Harley-Davidson motorcycles will first be shipped to the Motor Company’s Dominican Republic dealership organization MagnaMotors before being delivered to the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti.
The motorcycles will be used by for disaster relief and stabilization efforts in the Caribbean nation. Haiti suffered an earthquake Jan. 12, and several countries and organizations have offered humanitarian aid. The donated motorcycles will later remain as a permanent donation to the government of Haiti."

Unless they’re sold at auction and the proceeds donated, would this really help?

Haiti is an underdeveloped country with bad roads, many of which are blocked by earthquake debris. The Harleys will be completely out of their element there outside of the cities, and even there, it looks more like dual-sport country. Looks like a bonanza for corrupt public officials and the Motor Company.

Best insurance for a custom motorcycle?

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 09:56:27 +0000

Can anybody give me a list of companies that will at least insure my custom bike? I’m waiting for replies from AAA, Merkel, and Dairyland.

I currently have Progressive and they are grossly overcharging me. $148/month is disgusting. They raised it from $135/month for this year even though I haven’t gotten any accidents or tickets. I got married and they didn’t even discount me for that!

check with Foremost Insurance thats who I have and it cost’s me $321.00 a year

Are choppers a bad idea for non commercial owners?

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 09:56:11 +0000

In light of the Colin McCrae disaster and other such calamities such as wot happened to Mike Smith when his chopper fell to the ground, do you think it’s a good idea for individuals to operate choppers. Do you think they may be less inclined to service it regularly than a commercial organisation? According to witnesses McCare’s chopper was making a much rougher sound than it usually does.

I know that I will get thumbs down for this but my answer is:-
If as in so many cases they are just status symbols of the wealthy yes and I would include light aircraft as well. There have been too many fatal accidents recently by these so called expert amateur flyers.
