Fifteen Years!!!

Post by KillerB »

Milwaukee Canada has an American Iron Horse Tejas they are travelling around with for two years and then giving away. On Thursday it was at our shop for a tool demo day and I was able to wrangle about 5 or six short rides :D on it from the sales rep. Having ridden my 907 to work that day, he suggested that I park my bike next to it. People stopped by all day talking to the salesman, taking pictures and asking questions of both bikes. Most people are shocked when I tell them I bought it new in 1991. It feels great owning and driving an older timeless piece of machinery that still turns heads.

Regards,
B

Yeah, it has a slightly longer rake than Paso :laugh: . It was quite a difference going instantly from the 907 to the Tejas.

B - is that bike a hardtail or a well-concealed softtail?

Yes faster, it is a genuine hardtail :ugh: which is fine on nice smooth pavement.

Rogero, it's a V-twin all right, 111 cubic inches (1819cc), which is the smallest of the three engines they offer. It 's also available in 117(1918) and 124 cubic inch(2032cc).

Man, 124ci ... that's almost the size of the straight five that I had in my old Audi Coupe GT (which was 2230cc) ... cripes ... I can't imagine the pistons in that thing. Hope it's rubber-mounted ... a hard tail's bad enough ...
