A Toast to the Georgia Peckerheads - Thanks for the Scotch

The Peckerhead gang rides over to the house on occasional Fridays to drink beer and I usually grill Brats and have chips & dip. I had a plastic tip bucket to help with some of the cost. Well nobody was paying much attention to it or donating. I thought I would make a tip jar they couldn't ignore.

The Head/Cylinder is a 1973 Husqvarna 400, Valve components from a 1960's Ducati 160, Exhaust nut off a 1075 Norton 850, Carburetor came from A 1949 Norton ES2-but was a Mukuni, probably off a 1960's Honda. Last but not least is an old AC spark plug from EBay.

Way too much machining time was involved but now it's finally finished. The gang must have liked it because the donations more than covered the cost of brats, torllias and chips & dip.

Thanks for your help, it was a fun project. Now I can go back to work on bikes!

Peckerhead Dan Dzivi built this Alice in Wonderland race replica. He is a shoe-in to get noticed.

Our seven passenger twin V-twin is stable but doesn't care much for the twisties.

DID YOU SAY TORQUE - Our current project will have plenty of torque.

The rear cylinders overheated so we had to mount it this way.

We built the most "sure footed" off road bike in the world.

Hemi powered - 0 to 60 in 3.6 seconds!! See you at Bonneville.

The Peckerheads take up Hill Climbing with their Triumph powered 3-wheeler.

The Peckerheads build this scooter to mow your yard.

Here's a photo of the latest project for increased fuel economy from Boxers By Bruce

Peckerheads doing their thing - RACING!

The boys finished their ultimate blown piston powered 1,800 horsepower 2-wheeled vehicle but now nobody can ride it - seems insurance is prohibitive.

The boys are finishing aero testing for this 2-wheel 'hot' rod. Fast as hell and very reliable. However, it likes to suck-up pedestrians and has terrible mileage - less than one mile per gallon of JP-4.

When the wives saw the latest, they decided The Boys had way too much time on their hands and made them all get Summer jobs mowing lawns.

The Past Head Peckerhead - aka Dave Howe

See you Friday afternoon / night at Up N' Smoke the Little House.
