Billy Bike and Ner A Car

I snapped this at the Anamosa motorcyele museum. The first is a replica of the "Billy Bike" from the movie Easyrider. The leather jacket is also a replica of the one worn.

This thing is awesome. It's a Ner A Car. Look this up online, it's real neat. They were made as a cross between a car and a motorcycle. It was suposed to be less crude, they advertised them as something for women to ride on in the long dresses of the day.

bhead1968 posted this over on the chop cult forum. You can read the whole post here. If you have eyes, I don't need to explain how cool this bike is.

Chopped CB750

From the National Motorcycle Museum:

Motorcycle Log Skidder

Saw these at the National Motorcycle Museum:

This thing is one of the most odd motorcycles I have ever seen!

And a Hog for your friendly neighborhood squirrel:

Iron Horse Social Club - Savahna, IL

My wife and I went on a short vacation. We were staying at the Mississippi Palasades State Park. Now I hate buying firewood (I burn wood for heat at my house and could cut a whole truckload or more for what they charge for a single bundle of 6 or so pieces...), but the whole Emerald Ash Borer Beetle thing kept me from bringing my own. You cant transport wood across state lines, or aern't supposed to for the time being. Also, the park is stripped bare of all dead wood by previous campers so foraging did no good. We went into Savahna, IL for some groceries and firewood. We saw a billboard and ran across this place by accident!

There are tons of old bikes in there! They are a bar and grill with three floors of motorcycle stuff. They even have a chapel up on the third floor for marriages. Anyway, it's a really AWESOME place. I would suggest going there, plus the area and roads around there are unreal for riding on. They really do have some unique stuff. There was a lot more great bikes that I didn't photograph. I don't like taking pics of everything, just enough to give a taste of what's there.

Some Updates

ot a couple of newsworthy items today:

I went to the national motorcycle museum in anamosa, IA yesterday. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I will get some pics probably tomorrow on here. Got a lot of pics.

Also, went to the Iron Horse Social Club. They have a bar with a motorcycle museum in it also. Really cool stuff and got some pics there too. Again, I will be uploading pics probably tomorrow. Real cool stuff.

And, last but not least: www.chopcult.com has went live. It got up a few days ago, be sure to check them out, cause it looks like it's about to be one of the best chopper sites out there.

Choppertown: The Sinners

ChopperTown - The Sinners. Be sure to check this one out!

Headlight Ears

Just got these in the mail for my stocker. The other headlight ears were real thin with no rubber. It made the headlight vibrate and blow, so I thought I would try these out. They are cast aluminum.

Wheelchair Motorcycles

Check out the full post with many more images at the Resurrectediron Forums. To me these are some awesome machines. Don't give up, there's always a way to get out and ride.

400 Suzuki

This is a 400 Suzuki single cylinder. These bikes are really fun. They have quite a bit of torque and will pop wheelies really well... not that I would ever do that!

We won't even get into how they do for ramping mud holes lol.

Ebay bike

Just saw this on ebay... Nice and clean.

WW2 Poster

I think this is more true now than ever...

Rocketeer bike?

Here's something a bit different... Don't know what it is but imagine the looks you would get riding it. Pic by Chris Mejia, from flickr.

"April 19, 2009 | Venice Beach, CA

Held at the Stronghold in Venice, the Vintage Motorcyle Rally had a great turn out. There were lots of home built cafe's and stock bikes. A few professional built bikes showed up as well. The people were friendly, the weather was perfect and the sound of motorcycles made for a great Sunday afternoon. "

Got my new clutch/brake levers today and got them on my stock cb750. Just waiting on headlight ears and brake pads to get it done. I did get to ride today on my wife's bike. It is PERFECT weather, almost makes me think I am not in Iowa in July or something...

National Motorcycle Museum (Anamosa, IA)

I have been meaning to get to the National Motorcycle Museum, but haven't got there yet. This is a pic I found online showing a WWII German army BMW. They are supposed to have all sorts of vintage motorcycles. Sounds like a good day trip for me. I'll see about going once I get a front wheel on my bike ha ha... The wait continues, now its been probably 40 hrs since riding and I am about to go nuts.

The Jesus Tail Light

Check this out! I just got mine in the mail a couple days ago. The guys at http://www.foundrymoto.com are the ones making these. I highly recommend them. Made in the U.S.A., fast service, fair prices and quite possibly the coolest tail light on the planet.

Cool Tank

I saw this tank on ebay. The description was pretty much said it was a vintage 70's paintjob. Said it had checking and it wasn't perfect. Anyway, I love this tank but not as much as the guy who won it! I think it brought around $750.00. I suppose you can't put a value on something as cool as this though, and it is one of the neater tanks I have seen in a long while.

New Resurrected Iron Blog

Welcome to the new Resurrected Iron Blog.

I got to thinking... I check my favorite chopper/motorcycle sites daily if I can. They are all in the blog format. I think this will be a good addition to the site, giving users something to look forward to seeing every day. So here is where it starts.

I have been messing around with my CB750 yesterday and today. I have switched the front end out for a "F" or "super sport" model front end. They are a bit cleaner looking and have dual disc brakes instead of the single disc. It's almost done, just waiting on some headlight ears and some brake pads. Man I have to get this done, its been about 20 hours since I rode!
