Eye candy (DIAL-UP BEWARE!!)
« on: August 13, 2008, 11:24:48 AM »
Ehlerding Motorsports was linked to in this thread and, since they are only a few miles from me I thought I'd stop in and take pics of the displays.  I wish the lighting was better.

Here are the bikes above the sales offices









Above/behind the parts counter









Above the entrance are these bikes








Then there is a "museum" upstairs. It is a small room with many bikes almost crammed in.  Almost all Hondas and Kawasakis. They used to be a Kaw dealer.

No matter how fast or how far I rode, I couldn't leave her memory behind.

I was in there just yesterday, I didn't realize you were that close to Fort Wayne.

there's a guzzi dealer down the road who uses an early model kz1000 as a store sign. poor, poor bike. the guy said for the right price i could have it. i hope that price is free because i have no clue how i would haul that bike off the roof of a building.

I'm about a mile north of Georgetown.

It's kind of sad that all those great bikes are sitting around doing nothing!  I have been to the Barber Museum and several other museums and collections, and have respect for what they do there, but part of me would rather see these bikes being ridden and enjoyed.

Rocking-m, is that a SL350? Very hard to find mufflers for them I know.

yea it is a SL, I wish I still had mine. Oh hindsight, why can't it be foresight?
I've heard the mufflers are real hard to find too. This fellow has had this bike in
a garage for a long time and plans to hold on to it. I'd almost trade him a Cagiva. ;)

I can't get up to see the ones above the offices, but the ones in the museum look to be survivors.

Have you been to D&A in Decatur?  That guy has some eye candy.

Yep. That was one of the first places I went when I got my 750 running.  I'm fixin' to get ahold of him in a few weeks to see about some forks, mine have issues.
