Don Becker’s Top Fuel Dragster by Miserable George and ValGal

I’ve always been infatuated with TOP FUEL ANYTHING!!!!!

So, we jumped at the chance to shoot this monster machine, which we first got acquainted with during Bike Week at Daytona this year.

It’s 16 feet long, powered by a hand-built 1000HP, 97% nitro burning, 186 CID Super Motor!!! The whole machine weighs in at 1000 pounds!!! An M/T Racemaster super-wide slick transfers that 1000HP to the track, and a modified set of Buell and Performance Machine brakes, along with a drag-chute, helps to slow the monster to a safe stop.

The machine has not yet been timed, but, when it is…OSB hopes to be there to document the whole event…maybe at Orlando Speed-World…!!

We’d like to thank Don Becker for allowing us into his private shop to get the photos, and to the lovely Lauren for gracing the bike with her tall, slender, gorgeous body…You’ll be hearing more about this machine soon…

OSB May 2015 Bike of the Month – 98 Sportster Chopper by ValGal

When I got the scoot, it was a stock ‘98 1200 sportster S model and has had many changes since the day I got it.

I have always ridden this bike, so chopping was done little by little until a head on collision forced an awaited chopper.

Friends, family and my club brothers made the Paughco rigid frame appear immediately after the accident. Parts came from everywhere including the sissy bar from a buddy Jingles (RIP), who finally gave it up when seeing my mangled bike. A good and very talented friend @ Elizabeth Dibois hand painted the Frank Frazetta recreation on the gas tank.

My bike wouldn’t be capable of years of miles, wheelies and burnouts if it wasn’t for good friends, family, Scott and Sally at Sally’s Bargain Barn, my club brothers. ML&R to anyone that’s helped me keep riding.

BILLY LANE’S “SONS OF SPEED” Daytona Bike Week 2017 by Miserable George and ValGal

 

      I’ve always been a great fan of half-mile motorcycle racing…both dirt, and asphalt, but, I had never seen the old “Board Trackers”…

that is until Sat. Mar. 18, at New Smyrna Speedway, in Samsula, Fl. True, they didn’t run on the boards like back in the teens and twenties…BUT…they ran, on the asphalt at New Smyrna.

Although, the old board trackers ran at speeds in excess of 100MPH, the Sons of Speed machines clocked in at between 65 and 70 MPH, but, still gave the nearly packed house of avid fans, a very exciting day of racing!!

Yes, there were a few “first time gliches”, but, this is to be expected for an inaugural event. Despite some minor setbacks with the machines….EVERYONE was given an opportunity to get out on the track…much to the satisfaction of the fans…!!

Those bikes have a sound all their own; it kinda took ya back a few years, to the thrilling days of the Boarders..!! I was high up in the grand-stand, and, ValGal covered the pit area, so, we hope we’ve given you an interesting view of the event…as we saw it…!!

     Brittany Olsen…yes, a lady rider, was the over-all winner. Heat winners were: Billy Lane, Buzz Kanter, Brittany Olsen, and Shelly Rossmeyer. If I missed anyone, I ‘m sorry.

A big THANKS to Billy Lane and the Sons of Speed for a truly outstanding first-time event. Be careful out there…

Lime Green Chopper

1993 Evo Sportster… Power Plant bored 20 over. all head work and machining was done by Wayne at Southern V-Twin.

The frame is a custom built frame I made using a led sled rear , I hand built the rest of the frame myself. I made a frame jig to build the frame on. It was a lot of long nights and crazy measuring to make sure it all came out dead on. All the welding i did myself.

I hand made just about everything on the bike. Handle bars, sissy bar, hand shifter and linkage, spacers, headlight bracket, motor mount these were all made from stainless steel which I fabricated, welded, then had polished from my friend Nickl.

The battery box, forward controls, bungs and fender mounting brackets, foot and passenger pegs I fabricated also. My friend Josh Miller laid  out the wiring. My friend Davey turned down my fork lowers and smoothed them out for me. And the awesome leather work on the seat by Mike Vasey.

I have gotta give mad props to Tom Colando at Rattlekan Kustoms for the killer paint, it came out sick, and Ian for the pin striping.

It has a 21 inch spoolie on front and a 16 old style star hub rear with a 180 on it.

It’s a true garage built death trap. Suicide shift, foot clutch, tiny ass handlebars, rear brake only.

It took me 4 years to build this thing from the ground up and gotta thank my wife for putting up with me during then.

All brand new upgraded charging system so she will run strong. Wiseco 20 over pistons and rings and a Daytona Twin Tech ignition .

The paint says ‘can u dig it’ on left of tank and ‘sucka’ on the right side. As my homage to the great movie the warriors, the bike itself is a tribute to all the great death traps from the NYC streets of the 70s.

I know it’s not an old bike, but she is 24 years old and one bad ass hipster killing sportster!

Putting her in your mag would be sweet!!!

thanks,

Daniel

49 Panhead by Hazardous Cycles

I got this bike from Mississippi as a basket case.

Took the frame and cut, raked the neck. Wanted to build an old school chopper. Its the original wish bone frame and original 49 motor, belly numbers match..

re-built the motor from crank up, mild cams, has 10:1 wisco pistons.heads have been gone thru as well

..powered by a joe hunt mag..the trans is a 53 and I put in Andrews gears close ratio

..went with a Bdl belt drive..did some fab work to mount the oil tank and rear fender,like the clean look on how it almost floats when ur looking at it from the side

..i love the sound of the old school bikes,just nothing better when they are rolling down the road to now where land…
