Crawly Things!!

I remember one trip we took where a friend dropped a valve on his panhead. We found enough parts to replace what broke, (a head with a good exhaust valve, some springs and keepers and a gasket) and fixed it on the sidewalk in front of the motel room where we stayed that night! It beat the crap out of the piston, but didn’t break it and it didn’t pinch the top ring or damage the jug. We were back on the road at daylight the next morning!! He kept the damaged head and had it repaired when he got back home.

NOPE!! That thing is a dinosaur, but it has only failed to run once in all the time I have ridden it. It has broken the final drive belt two times. Once, less than a hundred yards from the house and once on a trip with friends! We had a chase vehicle that we loaded it on and nobody had to walk. It has broken down a couple of other times over the 330,000 plus miles that I have ridden it, always somewhere that it was reasonably easy to get it fixed or get it home. It broke a piston one afternoon in Chattanooga and I rode it back to Nashville on one cylinder!! It’s almost like an anvil!! Crude as hell, but damn near indestructible!! I wish I was half as tough as that old bike!!

One of my favorite tricks to use in faster moving traffic when I had a tailgater was to shut off the ignition with the bike in gear. I’d roll the throttle on, wide open, a couple of times and then flip the ignition back on! My old bike has a two into one Santee 3 1/2” header with no baffles on it andan old S&S Super B carb with an accelerator pump added. It’ll blow a four or five foot fireball when you flip the ignition on with it flooded with high test gas!! You orta have seen some of the reactions from the idiots on my six!! Especially at night!!
