Reader Ride. 1950 Panhead. Sweet Custom Chop.

Matt from the Machinehead blog (be sure to check it out. Lots of great stuff) finished up a very nice build of an 1950 Panhead.

Hope all is good
Matt

Thanks for the pics Matt. Like I posted on your comments I think it a very well balanced build. Looks like you could ride the tar out of it.  Can’t wait to see that Mark 1!!

Reader Ride. Nice Superglide.

Steve G sent me these a while back and they got lost in the shuffle.  Sorry bout that.

I’m sure folks have noticed that I don’t post many modern American cruisers.  This is not from prejudice on my part.  I like them fine.  But there are so many sites already dedicated to them (that do it very well) so I tend to shy away.  Anyway, this one caught my eye because it’s got some really nice “go” touches without overdoing the “show”.  It looks to be a cruiser that you could ride the hell out of.    Function and form and all that …  Thanks again Steve. 

Reader Ride. An American Harley in Italy!

As opposed to the Italian Harleys we’ve seen in America.

Thanks Marco!

By Request… The Jay Springsteen Harley Racebike

Had a request from the previous post to see more of the #9 harley in the background. I know I’ve posted this bike before but I don’t get tired of looking at it.

By the way, the Google Search feature and the “word-cloud” really does work pretty well

Some Reader Ride "Wanderlust" Shots.

I think I’ve hit a vein here. Judging by the response I’d say there’s a lot of it going around!
Paul and Aaron sent in these 2 great bikes and great shots!  Thanks gents!

Paul’s 2000 883 on a trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina with his son last year….

…and Aaron’s Triumph Trophy 900 at Lake Almanor in 2003.

A few "obligatory" Jay Springsteen Vintage Harley shot from Daytona.

He’s there every year and I never get tired of looking at his bike.
