[*MARINE 1*]

Check it out, it's truly sick, Just a little too much for me though. I'm just trying to do a simple version.

Appreciate the reply

[timhyma]

did not see it, and nope, not a clue from this corner, lol

[*MARINE 1*]

Anyone here see the youtube video of the 3-D bike (the evil one) any suggestions on how to do something like that.

Apparently the guy says there weren't any molds involved but I can't see how?

Any fibreglass sculptors out there?

[buyittradeit]

[buyittradeit]

I have to make it a goal to be there myself.

[timhyma]

Thanks- I plan to do it again for the 75th- in five years

[buyittradeit]

Now that is cool!!

It's a beautiful area. The group I ride with plans to go back next year (we go every 5 years). If it was just me, except for the test rides that the major bike manufacturers offer, I'd just as soon visit the area sometime OTHER than when all the people are there.

[timhyma]

Most are rides were not that bad. Only a few times were we got jammed up. We styaed outside Rapid City, so missed the congestion

[Chrisau]

Hey....Glad you had a good time. I've not been inclined to go because of the crowds. I don't do well in big groups!

[timhyma]

Made it home from Sturgis- Amazing rides, and had a great time. I'm glad we camped near Rapid city and stayed away from the craziness of the crowds at night. Estimated 750,000 bikes cruising around the Black Hills

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

Not this year. We have plans to go next year though. Have fun!

[timhyma]

Going to be a great week of riding in the Sturgis area next week. Any other Ihubbers going?

Mine has been gathering dust in the garage. Did take it up to Mt. Charleston a couple of months ago on a nice day.

[timhyma]

wow, just noticed no posts since last November. I looked at my bike this week, as the roads are now devoid of ice and snow. Lots of sand and gravel though. Looking for a hard rain this week to wash that away. Spring is close, and I'm itching to ride

[wzebra33]

No tripple freaks on I-HUB? Am I the only one? I still have one left a 1972 H1B 500 (rabid chainsaw) sold my 1972 H2 now they fetch 6k+

[jimmym4]

LOL..Good thought..My wife took that one at a stop light in Daytona Beach at bike week in Feb..It is odd she took the photo but she doesn't want me looking at it..LOL

Sniffing the seat, I imagine.

Where am I???>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

Well, you're not in Missouri - I don't see any goosebumps

[jimmym4]

Uh...............Sturgis?

Nice!...Where am I???>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

King of the world...

[timhyma]

Looks like it was a great ride

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

I don't have a decent picture of the bike, but here's me on Pikes Peak after riding up the Pikes Peak Highway

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

Here's one going up the south side

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

Here's a pic of my bike coming down the north side of Boreas Pass just outside Breckenridge, CO

[timhyma]

nice, that reminds me, I need to call the campground for a spotduring the rally next year

[buyittradeit]

Another pick of my Harley

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

It's incredibly crowded, but everyone should go at least once. You'll want to start way early to find someplace to stay (now is not too soon to look in to reserving a room for next year). When we went a few years ago, we stayed in Lead, just a few miles out of Sturgis.

Beautiful riding, wild event. But like I said, incredibly crowded. We were out in the boonies and bikes would start streaming by at 7 am and didn't stop till sometime after dark.

[timhyma]

I'm considering Stugis, SD next year. Anyone ever did that one? Any advice?

100 years of motorcycle design on display in Portsmouth

August 20, 2009 - By Teresa Annas - The Virginian-Pilot

This summer the Courthouse Galleries space is looking more like its Olde Towne neighbor, the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.

Inside, motorcycles are everywhere.

There are 40 of them spanning a century in design, from a 1912 Triumph once owned by an Irish outlaw to a 2009 Zero that runs on electricity.

Visitors will find racing and riding garb from notable bikers, even from the Motor Maids, a national association of women riders founded in 1940. A section on local legends and videos of races round out the resemblance to a sports center.

But maybe this show, called "Freedom: Evolution of the Motorcycle," is just as appropriate for an 1846 courthouse-turned-gallery, since a court of law is where the occasional speed-crazed biker ends up. And speed, according to curator Gayle Paul, was among the top factors that drove the design.

Precedents exist for fine-art centers showing motorcycles and the like, with a focus on design. In 1998, the Guggenheim Museum in New York City opened a landmark exhibition, "The Art of the Motorcycle," which drew complaints from art snobs but was extremely popular.

Likewise, the local museum was packed for opening events. Certainly, the Courthouse's budget is minuscule compared to the Guggenheim's. Still, the Portsmouth venue unearthed some extraordinary examples.

Paul knew little about motorcycles when she got started two years ago. By now, she could stand before a motorcycle club and lecture on the evolution of the tailpipe. The show offers tons of text regarding the history and sociology of motorcycles and the stories behind each one on display, all of it researched and written by Paul.

She enlisted the aid of many in the field, but especially the people at Bayside Harley Davidson in Portsmouth and Velocity Motorcycles in Richmond. The dealerships helped locate collectors.

About 20 collectors lent bikes, and six others let the museum borrow memorabilia.

A Velocity parts manager, Brian Condra, who is an artist, co-designed the show with Pat Jensen, the museum's exhibit specialist. The large, open main gallery resembles a gleaming showroom, with a blue racing stripe.

Motorcycles evolved in the late 19th century from the bicycle. An example of an early bicycle-turned-motorcycle via an attached motor is the replica of a 1910 Harley Davidson at the show's entrance. To spark the motor, a rider had to start off pedaling.

Stories are attached to many of the bikes. The 1912 Triumph was owned by an Irish criminal who had used it as a getaway vehicle. He disappeared in the 1930s from a Scottish farm, leaving behind his bike and diary.

After the farm family read about his exploits in the diary, they were ashamed he had worked for them and told no one, Paul said. The bike finally came to light and was sold in 1980 to a Chesapeake couple, Terry and Susan Bond, who lent it for the show.

Terry Bond told Paul that a model just like his sank in 1912 on the Titanic.

Almost all of the motorcycles are vintage. Only two are replicas, including a 1939 Brough Superior, one of the finest of its day and the bike of choice for T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), who died riding one.

The show features British, French, Belgian, Japanese, German, Italian, Spanish and American bikes. Brand names include Kawasaki, Honda, Royal Enfield and Yamaha.

The 1960s bikes look mod, straight out of a comic book. Later ones resemble robotic insects or Japanese anime figures.

A 1998 chopper representing the "Easy Rider" era was designed through a competition between two Harley Davidson dealerships.

Among the current-year models, the BMW R 1200 stands out for its ability to move over the roughest imaginable surfaces. Said Paul, in an admiring tone: "It'll take you anywhere, to the ends of the earth."

I rode to Battle Creek, Michigan last weekend to check out the new FireKeeper casino. Total trip was over 1200 miles, and had a great time. I don't think I'll get anymore long rides in this year, as school starts next week.

I hope everyone had a chance to get our do put some miles on.

[timhyma]

Hey dude,
I made it home, after a little over 2200 miles. Th ewedding was great, but I'm glad to be home

So far, nothing not to like

Did you go in WalMart & ask for Spongebob sponges from SpongeTech?

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

And one so you can see I was there. The guy with the camera rarely gets in the shots...

[IH Geek [Meatloaf]]

This is a motorcycle board, so I should post something on topic...

Bob Zumbrunnen and I showed up to meet Tim at the Applebees in Harrisonville. As the saying goes, pics or it didn't happen... so here you go.

[timhyma]

Yea, That is what I meant
