Title: Laconia Bike Week 2014
Post by: tombogan03884 on June 19, 2014, 04:03:17 PM
The annual Bike show  is held about 100 yards from my Apt so I got some pics today.
This is the 86th or 87th annual bike week here.

First is a Rokon AWD

Then a couple custom jobs

And leave to the Brits to put the side car on the wrong side of this D Day commemorative Royal Enfield.
And YES, that is a Lee Enfield in the boot .
This IS a gun forum after all .   ;D

My big bro has two Royal Enfield reproduction 1956 models.  A whopping 22 BHP out of a 500cc single popper!  Cool though...

This year, because of scheduling problems, they were forced to have it START on Father's Day weekend instead of ending on it.
It's the first year with no major rain, that all came last week, the week before Father's day, right on schedule.  ;D

One of the stock pics of Mike's (aka big bro)'s Enfields.

He received it as a X-Mas bonus a few years back.  The down side was it showed up in a crate from India and he had to bolt it together to ride it...

As long as we're talking bikes....is this immoral?

Harley-Davidson testing electric motorcycles

MILWAUKEE — Would a Harley still be a Harley if it didn’t have that out-of-my-way rumble and those fat, hydrocarbon-belching exhausts?

Considering that I hear motorcycles fro the morning of the first decent riding day until the first snow, non stop, I think it's freaking great.
