Non Beer Related Contraptions

[Sully]

I'm sure a lot of you are as ingenuitive as I am, so show off your contraptions!

This is my Street Mobile, Believe it our not she'll do 54mph on dry pavement!


This is the Dixie Chopper for obvious reasons!


And the Harley Back!


I also have a late 70's electric golf cart that I gutted and stuck a 383cc ski-doo motor in. But I don't have any photos.

More to the point...what is with all the off-spring in the background BRB? You and your misses are a breeding machine!

Good eye Brotha, Thank God those are neighbor kids. If they were all mine I would probably go from home brewing to home distilling! I am fortunate to have 2 little girls and that's enough....for now!

I would hate to be one of the boyfriends they will bring home one day.

Nothing to wild and crazy looking here but all of my toys have small little things on them. Little parts I have fabricated or made along the way.

I sold one of my race cars and have pretty much stopped running the other one (a rally car). Those had some "interesting" modifications.

I can post pics of the current toys.

The daily ride...



which needs a little work after a small incident earlier this year.





The other bike I picked up to tool around on the weekends and take a few trips on.



I recently got some highway bars for it and I picked up some hard luggage side bags at the Barber Vintage Motorcycle Festival.



and the project bike which is a WERA Vintage race bike for the 350GP/500GP class or the AHRMA twins class.

Nice bikes mate. Love the CX500.

Hope there were smaller chunks out of you than there were out of the Suziki

[ApexBrewing]

Well the chunks out of me were in fact smaller but they were slightly painful.

Actually most of the damage was to my gear. I ground off part of the side of my helmet, burned a hole in the palm of my leather gloves, and burned two holes in the leather of my jacket. One on the elbow and one on the shoulder.

I had shoulder damage and a bruised collar bone. I drove my shoulder into the ground first and then the chin bar of my helmet was driven into my collar bone. That was all initial impact then I started to slide. I wore two holes in my left knee. Both were minor enough that I did not notice them until I had the bike up and was looking at it. A couple minor scars but nothing beyond that.

The bike bent my nice Protaper bars (new by the way), drove the bars into the gas tank denting that, snapped off my clutch lever, destroyed the heated grip element on that side (also new), smashed the headlight bezel (again new), scratched up the rear plastics, and bent the rear frame slightly.

The wreck was a 40-45mph lowside due to washout gravel in a 90 degree left hander on one of my local twisty roads. I setup a little to high and to the outside of the turn and when I leaned in for the turn it was all over. I was sliding on the ground before I knew I was even going to wreck.

Gravel is the suck....
