Not long ago, I heard that Doctor Robert Harms had passed. Now, I see one of his extraordinary builds, the Indian/Kawasaki is looking for a new home and I truly hope it finds a good one with someone who can appreciate what they're looking at. We wrote about it some years ago and Robert Harms described it in detail. Some might look at a build like this and think it's a crazy … [Read more...]
Engine Cutaways the Hard Way
In these days of computer animation, young people don't see real engine cutaways as often as we once did. When you can peel away the layers with the click of a mouse, the old art of machining away metal to reveal the moving parts underneath is rapidly giving way to CAD software and 3D rendering.

Of course, it's a brand new bike and it takes a lot more than looks to win, but it … [Read more...]

While reading Harley Davidson's latest press release about their new Sportster "Roadster," I thought of the words from an old Buffalo Springfield song, "There's something happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear," because despite all the talk about styling and "Live Your Legend" marketing lingo something else became apparent, it isn't the style and legend stuff that … [Read more...]
Fully Restored 1943 Kettenkrad For Sale
Long time readers of The Kneeslider will remember we have written about Kettenkrads before, they're the World War II light tracked military transport with a motorcycle front end built by NSU for the German army. The first time you see one it seems odd, but then you get a smile on your face because you just know it would be a hoot to drive off road. Over at Uncommon Motors we … [Read more...]
