Snowbum's PHOTO GALLERY

This 1984 R100RT, as purchased, had an aftermarket
windshield, big rear trunk, backrest (which I modified
to be sturdier), tank cover, Russell Day-Long saddle,
turbo clutch (grabby when cold), radio, Brown
side-stand, Reynolds RideOff center-stand.    I installed
running lights conversions of my own design and an
EnDuraLast alternator. LOTS of other changes and
maintenance on this bike; ~hundred hours+,
getting it to where I generally wanted it.   It does not
have dual-plugging.   Photo was taken when I first
got it. I did a quickie service; then went for a
short (735 miles) test ride. Much as I like this bike,
I sold it, and will probably stop riding 2-wheels,
due to back and leg problems,....& Penny just doesn't
like being on the back of a 2-wheeler, preferring the
comfort of the sidecar.

My 1983 R100RT, before the Ural Hack was put
on it, somehow the picture got a lot of aliasing in it.
I no longer have this bike. This bike, with hack
attached, is in several different articles on this
website, including technical articles on the
subframes, mounts, brake modifications, etc.

Here I am at the Griffith Park Sidecar Rally, always held
in October. The spare fuel can and the spare wheel/tire,
are not in this photo...as this photo was taken just two
days after I got the rig running, and took it on its initial
short tour....about a 1200 mile round trip! This is the 1983
R100RT, same as in below photo.

The 1983 R100RT Airhead-Ural hack rig was my
2001-2 project. I'd planned to keep it forever, but
I sold it when I decided to build (or buy) a
K1100LT-EML rig.    Note the two pairs of skis.
Yes, that is snow.   Normally in mid-Winter that
fence is topped by lots of snow. It was a warm day,
plenty of snow on the mountains to ski in. Note in the
background, the little boy that pees....yes, he does,
his penis is hooked up to the sprinkler system. The original
of that statue is at the Manneken Pis Fountain in Brussels;
the work was done in 1619.   The sculptor was
Jerome I. Duquesnoy, court sculptor to Archduke Albert.
The Archduke, appreciating Jerome's work, provided
funds to let Jerome spend the rest of his life sculpting,
etc., in Rome. Jerome I. was the father to Francois
Duquesnoy, also a sculptor; and there was another son,
a younger one, Jerome Hieronimus, who lived from
1602-1654.   Jerome was arrested for molesting two
boys, he was strangled, his body burned at a stake.

Another Shoveling Morning. YES, that IS a typical
height of Winter (pun intended) photo, outside my
Tahoe house....you can faintly see my roof at the
upper right side.

How I sometimes took my Winter lunch breaks. The
1968 hopped-up 4WD Dodge Power wagon is in the
background. I'd taken the 318 out of it, put in a
535 (Marine 440++), and many more changes.
When I originally hopped up the engine, I installed a
Hemi crank and 6-Pack rods, and Indy iron exhaust
manifolds with 4" outlets, reversed, and upwards,
feeding DUAL turbochargers from a Piper Comanche
400; using Bendix aircraft injection. It had a 435
transmission and 2 speed transfer case.   The power
was awesome....as was the fuel consumption and the endless
replacing of twisted axles and driveshafts.   I got offered
a large amount of $ for the turbos & associated stuff;
then went back to a nearly stock 440.   I sold the
Dodge, together with shelves-full of New Old Stock
parts, at the end of May, 2003; it had been very
well-known hereabouts. Haven't seen it since the sale.

My grandfather. I made this from a very
old glass plate negative. Yes, he was short.

Satan's Boys Motorcycle Club, a Los Angeles based club.
I was a lot younger then, & this was my jacket; 'nuff said!

Yes, this is on an airplane.
Note the sensor wire coming from the oil filter chamber,
the dual plugging, etc.

           There are a lot of ways to install an airhead engine on an
           airplane.   Here is a link to how someone did it on an Xair:

	A kit car, from the Pembleton company, in England. I suspect you recognize that engine! www.pembleton.co.uk
	Home-made three cylinder radial engine, using BMW cylinders, mounted at the front of a 'car', a-la-Morgan three wheeler.
	I've flown that engine! Note the direction of the engine mounting in the motorcycle, and compare to the next photo
	Compare engine mounting direction with the above photo
	Similar to above, but...look closely at upper area of the telescopic forks, at the belt drive from the engine crankshaft, etc.

This was my Vespa P125X, with added racks, fairing, full factory
electrics, etc. I did a 99% restoration on this, and used it for daily
transportation at my condominium at Palm Springs, California. One year
it was all decked out with flags and banners, etc., and I was #1 in line to
actually open the Palm Springs Gay Pride Parade. I took this scooter
touring and camping more than once. Yes, that windshield decal does
say MARINES, with a rainbow background. I LOVE driving folks nuts.
