Biker

Harley-Davidson

My main ride is a 1987 Heritage Softail that I bought new.

An artsy picture I took in autumn
A shot of me, my bike, and HD's truck
It's basically stock except for:
- CV carb with Dynojet kit
- Crane cam
- Kerker pipe
- Performance Machine four piston front caliper
- Progressive Suspension (front and back)
- Corbin seat

Although I don't get to ride as much as I'd like, I do take the occasional long trip. A few years ago I rode from Ottawa to British Columbia, down the coast road to California, and then back across the continent diagonally, spending a couple of days at Sturgis. A total distance of about 15,000 Km in four weeks.

Norton

My other bike is a 1956/58 Norton Dominator that I bought as a rolling chassis and three boxes of parts. It took me two and a half years to build.

A picture taken at a local bike show
It's nowhere near stock:
- 1956 featherbed frame
- 1958 engine and gearbox
- Manx gas and oil tanks
- Manx seat
- Velocity stack (a beautiful sound)
- Twin leading shoe front brake
- Clip-ons
- Rear-sets
- Custom fenders
- Many home-made parts
