Tom Adams Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Probably should've posted this in the DVD's, Music, and Movies forum, but figured it get more attention here...... This looks like it could be a pretty decent movie. Maybe a real sleeper????? http://www.worldsfastestindian.com/ Hell - I'll go see any movie that's about motorcycles. Now where's that copy of 'On Any Sunday'??? [] Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flason Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Movie seems interesting. The bike is to fast for me. I don't handle speed all that well. Once did 150+mph with a passenger on the back in a residential area. Had a little to much to drink but sobered up right away when the bike finally stopped 10 feet from a major intersection. Sold it the next day. Now I just putt around on my 102ci Roadstar Warrior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Adams Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 Well Duke.....I'd be the first to admit that I am weak when it comes to Brit bikes. However, I've always wanted to own a Norton 850 Commando. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDBRbuilder Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 If dreaming of owning a true Brit Classic, then why not go all the way to the top with a Brough Superior SS100? Sure, there was a faster model in the SS120, BUT the 1938 Brough Superior SS100 had the MATCHLESS V-twin instead of the James A. Prestwick V-twin of the SS120, and I surely DO love those old Matchless V-twins! If you gotta go for a Vincent, then may as well go with the Black Knight or Black Prince with their fully-faired bodywork. Way ahead of their time, but a last gasp effort before the final demise of "The Vincent".[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I used to have a BSA 500 Gold Star one lunger. It was stripped down for off road riding. Sold it to a buddy who put it back on the street. It broke his leg and threw him over the bars starting it one day when the timing was off just a little bit! I sure wish I had it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Spinner Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 a Black Prince with their fully-faired bodywork.

I owned a Black Prince ... well the parts, anyways, I'm guessin' ....35 years ago ... bodywork was gone, frame was bent, but the mounts were there ... thought I was doin' a stroke of business, selling it for three times the $800 I paid .....[:S] probably worth $$$$$$$$$ today ....even the Motor...

Only rode mini bikes as a kid, but love biker movies..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice bike.[] I sat on one at Barney's in St Pete-I can't believe how that place has changed since I was last in there about 15 years ago-and was very impressed. From what I've read it may not do 150, but it has plenty of performance to scare any sane man.[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flason Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 SteelerFan, Will probably be riding to Ricky "T" on Treasure Island then on to Gotors for Bike night Friday. You are more than welcome to join us. I purchased my first bike at Barney's back in 1977, well 1st bike after a year of training on a 125 Enduro. My Warrior has some mods done but my favorite is lowering it 2 inches. Really lowers the center of gravity. Always wanted a Commando too, but these metric bikes are really smooth now.
