 360° Motorcycle Ride

The motorcycle in the video is a 2006 American Ironhorse Texas Chopper. The camera that’s being used is a Samsung Gear 360. The video is just as it came out of the camera with no post editing or color correction whatsoever. well, I guess I should add that I did put the title of our website in the video and if you use your cursor and scroll up to look towards the sky eventually you’ll see the URL which because of the 360° format is turned into a circle.   360° Motorcycle Ride – – –

When viewing the video, you should see a directional arrow in the upper left-hand corner that you could click on to change the view while the video is playing. Also, by moving your computer cursor on the video itself when it’s playing you can also change the direction of the view. when viewing videos like this in a virtual reality headset, just moving your head in any direction changes the view on the screen and it feels like your practically  riding this high-powered custom chopper. for best results when viewing this video you can change the resolution up to 4K.

This is my main chopper motorcycle and it has an S&S 117 cubic inch V-twin engine. the Texas chopper has a 280 rear tire and six speed transmission. (more…)

Smart motorcycle helmet

Crosshelmet – Smart motorcycle helmet

Motorcycles have evolved faster than helmets have . . . Well, that was then, this is now:
The CrossHelmet is a next generation motorcycle helmet with sound control  and 360° visibility that will transform your riding experience. Before you read any further, let me tell you what I think is the big downside to this helmet . . . And that is the estimated price of around $1700! I just can’t see a lot of motorcyclist spending that kind of money for a high-tech helmet. So if this company is going to be a success I hope they planned on very limited production or future price drop two under $1000.

The CrossHelmet brings state of the art technology to a safety staple that has remained stagnant for years. Our product combines integrated head-up display with 360° range of vision, sound management, and Bluetooth features to riders. It is the smartest motorcycle helmet ever.

360° VISIBILITY – We believe rear vision is an essential part of increasing rider safety. That’s why the CrossHelmet is equipped with a rear-view camera. The camera is combined with a wide-view visor that allows more road-vision and eliminates blind spots, allowing for optimum, 360° views. (more…)

Captain America Chopper Peter Fonda

Peter Fonda and the Captain America Chopper

Peter Fonda talks about the process of building the Captain America Bike.

The Easy Rider chopper inspired a lot of us baby boomers to go out & start building a bike.. Many couldn’t afford to buy a harley back in the days, so they chopped BSA & Triumphs.. when the 750 Honda came out in ’69, those became popular bikes to chop also… I would say Easy Rider changed a lot of people in our generation.

1933 Indian Motorcycle

Indian Motorcycle – Jay Leno’s Garage

In 1901, bicycle racer and builder George Hendee teamed up with engineer Carl Oscar Hedstrom to build a 1.75 hp single cylinder motorcycle prototype with a revolutionary chain drive.

This motorized bicycle met with immediate success, and the 1933 Indian Motorcycle. Indian Motocycle Company was soon formed in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Below is additional information about the original Indian motorcycle from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The “Indian Motocycle Co.” was founded as the Hendee Manufacturing Company by George M. Hendee in 1897 to manufacture bicycles. These were initially badged as “Silver King” and “Silver Queen” brands but the name “American Indian”, quickly shortened to just “Indian”, was adopted by Hendee from 1898 onwards because it gave better product recognition in export markets. Oscar Hedstrom joined in 1900. Both Hendee and Hedstrom were former bicycle racers and manufacturers, and after building three prototypes in Middletown, Connecticut they teamed up to produce a motorcycle with a 1.75 bhp, single-cylinder engine in Hendee’s home town of Springfield. The motorcycle was successful and sales increased dramatically during the next decade. (more…)

How To Pick Up A Dropped Motorcycle

A demonstration of how to pick up a dropped motorcycle the easy way!

A Haley-Davidson representative doing this demonstration. How to tip your Harley back up when you drop it! Keep in mind that if you been riding a long time they say it’s not if you ever drop your bike but when you drop your bike!

On big dress bikes,. what really helps is the crash bars and bags not letting the bike actually get laid all the way over. When a bike is laying all the way on its side with no crash bar or bags to keep it at about a 45 degree angle it is definitely a lot harder to get back up. (more…)

Kickstarting a Motorcycle

Kickstarting a Motorcycle – I certainly remember those days!

Since I started riding in the 1960s I remember well kickstarting Harleys! You really had to have your bike all tuned up and be careful not to flood the engine. Even then, sometimes you had to jump on the pedal 10 or 12 times to get the engine running. This video is shows a gal kickstarting a Harley Ironhead. this bike or gal definitely has perseverance and a great never give up mentality!

It would be easier if she straddled the bike and stood on the left peg instead of kicking it sidesaddle.

You gotta kick an Ironhead way harder than a Shovel. She just ain’t heavy enough! (more…)
