Bike Night at Dreyer's
« on: August 19, 2014, 06:13:30 PM »
The Legacy of Pop Dreyer: http://www.motorcyclemuseum.org/halloffame/detail.aspx?RacerID=63

Oldest Honda shop in the US. Left out of his bio is his building of fiberglas sidecars and fairings. Here is an example. Note the fairing is frame mounted but the headlight moves with the fork in the nacele on the front.



Bryan Smith's Flat Track/Miler Kawasaki, tuned by a Dreyer mechanic, among others;

SOHC/4.net Ed's "Phoenix". BEst "stored in a shed for 30+ years, now back on the road and being used as it was intended" story I've heard:

Pop's (I think, or his son Junior's) K0. All original, 28,000 miles, then parked.

And a Z-50, above. Is chrome original?  ;D
Old Indian and Midget:

Rick's "Project 212" and what the cocpit oks like (Turbo CBR600 est 240hp)



Back in the 70s, I got to see Pop ride his sidecar around the Indy mile with the car in the air the whole way, IIRC.   ;D

Nope couldn't find any. I'm sure they are out there somewhere.
