Harley M65 Manual arrived today
Thanks Ebay!
Check out the 1968 ‘photoshop’ work on the cover photo! The bike is standing still, and there are some serious airbrushed/added highlights throughout the mufflers and handlebars. You can see a glow around the front tire where they masked the bike into the photo. Nice work for 1968… and better than most Photoshop users today!
DMV-Done. Eye Candy – Mark’s Bikes
I pushed the BMW to the DMV. They inspected it. Took my money. Put the bike into the ‘system’ and told me that i had to take it to the California Highway Patrol for a VIN inspection to verify it wasn’t stolen.
Went to the Torrance CHP a week later and the Officer was really cool to talk to. He had some great stories of people sending frames to Japan, a recent inspection he did on a Kawasaki that turned out to be stolen in 1983 and he is trying to find the original owner to return the bike to, etc…
Imagine getting something stolen 25 years ago and then getting it back?Since i have no photos to update the progress on the BMW, i figured i’d showcase some of Mark’s collection that to my knowledge, is still for sale. Contact me if you are interested in any of the bikes below.
Anybody have $28k, a garage, and a dog?
This thing is great. i actually saw this while coming out of my dentist’s office. It was fresh out of the trailer and onto a used car lot. I heard something trying to start, and then stall out. Finally i heard the engine roar and around the corner came a guy ripping around the parking lot on this baby. The red is unmistakable. And the guy looked like he was having fun!
I think the asking price is a bit high… and i’d need a garage to keep it in… and a dog to ride shotgun. But will gladly accept a donation of all 3.
