Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

Has anybody heard what they consider to be an outrageous claim by someone about any one of the brands of V8 bikes. Quarter mile speeds, top speeds, horsepower etc.

Perv is correct, I was just commenting on what I perceived to be a stock V8 Chopper trikes remarkable performance. V8 Chopper sells 3 models of crate engines built by Dart installed in their bikes or trikes. They are a 350, a 400 and a 427. I called it a stock trike because it had one of those engin...

Perv, There was a question on the other site about this that I couldn't answer that I figured you could. Someone wanted to know how fast a big block trike would go.

I came back to Oklahoma to visit with Stan for a week and noticed a picture in the shop that was recently taken. It shows a stock green V8 Chopper trike as delivered with street tires, no nitrous, stock 427 engine, that just turned an 9.89 at 142 in the quarter mile. The dragstrip time ticket was al...

Most people think a couple of hundred pounds but it is only about 80 pounds. Sometimes when I'm selling bikes and I get a fat customer that is noticeably shocked by the cost of an aluminum engine I explain plan B. Plan B replaces the aluminum engine with a case of lettuce. The weight savings are abo...

January 10th, 11th, 12th here in Las Vegas is the worlds largest classic bike auction. Since I live here and love classic bikes I attend every year. It lasts 3 days and about every classic bike ever made usually finds its way here at one time or another. Its held inside where its warm and is lots of...

Aluminum block will save approximately 80 pounds on a SB. They are great for racing but not as good as a cast iron for cruising IMO.

I called and asked if that little bitch Phillip was there, the guy with the little chopper, but they said he wasn't. LOL

John, our club is having a Christmas dinner on the 21st so I'll be there a couple of days early. If you want to come let me know, you can bring your wife too if you want. It's in Semi Valley.

I like the white backround with the black letters the best. For me its easier to read.

Twice a year in sunny southern california there is a ride called the HANSEN DAM RIDE. It's primarily an old British bike ride but in the last ten years its become a huge event with any and all types of bikes new and old. I would say that now only about half are old british bikes. VINCENT, BSA, TRIUM...

Jack, its hard to believe we rode Triumphs and BSA in the dirt. I used to think 'WOW A SWING ARM SUSPENSION" even if it was only slightly better than a "sprung hub". I rode some early YAMAHA dirt bikes in the seventies and thought they were a MARVEL. In the nineties I bought a HONDA 4...

Jeff, you ALWAYS blow me away by how sanitary your work is. Its gonna be one of the great trikes when its done.

The fastest guys go over 100 mph on the straights and about 80 into the turns and they don't have brakes.

For some of you old guys that were involved in flat track racing like myself back in the sixties and early seventies or just anyone with motorcycles in their blood there is a great movie on YOU TUBE right now called "The Thrill Is On" by Joe Farrell. I know Jack will love this along with L...

I put the plastic ends on shoelaces till my eyes went bad.

Happy birthday Clint. The only bad ones end in zero. You have a bunch coming that won't be so traumatic. Thanks,Dave. The one I'm kinda looking forward to is 62. ;) Looks like I've been blacklisted on the other site. That's pretty damned sorry,if true. I don't believe they would have blacklisted yo...

A great thing about this site is you can say anything you want and Adrian doesn't delete it. Its a whole new concept.

I had him do mine years ago and it was amazing the difference it made. It has never given me a lick of trouble and was one of the best things I did. Thanks Mike

I have a mechanical on my V8 Chopper and if possible thats the way to go. I have a Holley Red on my Boss Hoss bike and its been on for 4 years with no problem.

I was in Houston Texas, I rode my knucklehead chopper there from Los Angeles. I was 20 years old and had just got my Merchant Marine card (long story) and since it was near the holidays I was told to go to Houston and I could probably get my first ship as the guys with seniority would probably stay ...

I also have never flushed any bike or cars brake fluid I've ever owned. I'm definitely an old fart since the first cars I drove which were model A Fords then 1933 Fords didn't even have hydraulic brakes, they had rods leading from the pedal to the backing plates. Hydraulic brakes came standard on th...

I always thought some catchy team names could be, the New York Negros or how about the Minnesota Mexicans. In College Football, American Indian Tribes tried to stop the thousands of Florida Seminoles fans to stop using the Tomahawk Chop with their hands in a chopping motion while they were in the s...

I really appreciate that you can say whatever you want here. If someone don't like it they can either tell you so or shut up or whatever but nobody takes a side and deletes it. There are GENUINELY knowledgeable guys over here to give technical advice and thats what most of us deem important, the res...
