100 WFC: Flat out for a flathead

General Posts / By

100 word fiction contest continues…. #100WFC Flat out for a flathead by Rhys Driving by an open garage on my way to the next job. Spotted what appeared to be an old flatty HD. I stopped and approached the person and asked if the bike was for sale. Yes it was. He quoted a price which was workable but being day before payday I didn’t have any cash in my pocket. I told him I’d be right back as I had the cash at home. Raced home grabbed the stash and made my way back. As I pulled up I saw the bike being loaded into a van. Dollar short and a minute late. * * * * * * * * Yup, its a weekly contest open to all. Just sign up for the free weekly newsletter by clicking here.

While the motorcycles on display are all great, Roadside Marty the MC is always a hit with the mic.” Click Here to see the Winning Bikes and Event Report only on Bikernet.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Come Ride With Us, Ride Free Forever !!!

Vanishing Breed of gear-heads

General Posts / By

In a few years if a collector wants to keep the old stuff running he may have problems Photos and text by Bill May The cars and motorcycles of today run awesome and last a long time, but they do nothing for me. People who can work on those old engines are few and far between. We are a vanishing breed. In a few years if a collector wants to keep the old stuff running, he will have to get out the old manuals and train some young guy with an aptitude for it. Me, I’m just going to keep flying down the road on my old bikes and my ‘34 Ford.
