Had to kill a couple hours before we took off this morning as my ridin' bud Paul ( Wimp ) had a few things to do this morning. I took off and did some local backroads mostly following the Clinch River as best I could. A local pawn shop has a yard full of old trashed out bikes and I took a few pictures.














Is this a Harley or a " something else " with a Harley tank ?





After hookin' up with Paul we was Dragon Bound the place was jumpin' today makin' money hand over fist selling t-shirts and yes even Dragon Water  ???





They are going to soon have to call this The Tree Of Shame And Surrouding Area these are some of the parts from bikes that The Dragon got.

Paul and I rode over to Robbinsville,NC to check on Miss Reba she took a nasty fall on the sidewalk at the motel she own's The Phillips Motel home to our Fall Color Ride every Oct.Messed her shoulder up pretty good they will do surgery on Sept.1 . I stopped and got her a nice flower arrangement and she loved them  Smiley





After lunch in Robbinsville we headed back to hit The Dragon again on the way home.They was having The Bastard Bash at Deal's Gap folks from all over America who ride bastard bikes mostly Sportsters cut , chop ,rebuild.













I've owned this bike close to 13 years now and it's no doubt the best motorcycle I've ever owned...Half-Breed




" The Money Shot " taken on a backroad that follow's the Clinch River just outside of Clinton, Tennessee.

The Harley is an Italian Made Two Stroke.

Late 70's I think.

Aeramacchi I believe.

I don't know what one would be worth.......... My oldest brother bought one for his wife to ride in the early 70's when they were living in the FL Keys.

She loved it and rode the wheels off of it.......... He swears that it would get almost 100 mpg.


Now that I think more about it hers may have been the street version instead:



I called my brother to ask him but he isn't home.

My son has an Arimach, and it was priced out at $3,300 by the Insurance adjuster buddy of his.

It started life as a 50cc and it now is close to 110cc.  Just changed th barrel and bucket.

They were made in Italy for Harley Davidson.       Harley couldn't get a good 2 stroke engine to hang together.

The 1047 cc, 24 valve, six cylinder CBX was the final of three designs of the CBX engine. The three options initially considered for design were the four cylinder 1000cc and 1200cc engines, and the six cylinder 1047cc.

174cc per cylinder. On the CBX

Man that is some small pistons.

My pistons on my Harley are 793cc per cylinder.

A Valk has 253 cc per cylinder of displacement.

Now that is more like it.

I had three of them when I was a kid.  An M50 sport, a 125 Rapido and a 250 Sprint.

Real Harleys have been built in Japan as far back as the 30's and 40's.

They called the bikes they built over there a Rikuo, or Road King.

Harley sold them all the stuff, molds, machines , blue prints and Japan paid them a royalty or money for

each design.

Because of the depression and all they stayed afloat like this.

This also helped the Japanese learn a lttle thing called mass production.

And yes this made everything they made to fight us in WWII a little better because Harley sold them this stuff.

So when you hear a Harley dude get all proud of his American made ride, tell that person you know where

they were built a long time ago and maybe but I hope not, this probably helped to kill some of his kin folk as well.
