WELCOME TO MY WORLD.......

...PANHEADS...

THE OBSESSION CONTINUES...

Hey I'M Panhead Joe and I would love to hear from some of you out there who are into Harleys! I build and ride them, I'm posting some pics of some of my projects... let me know what you think. I currently have two bikes, a '55 custom I built from the ground up and a '78 rigid I also built. I just pumped up the motor in the shovel, S&S barrels and heads, an Andrews 'B' grind and wiseco 10 to 1 pistons. It really rocks and rolls now!

You may be wondering why, if I drive a shovel how I got the handle "Panhead" well I've built a couple of fine ones. Their the nicest looking Harleys ever built! They have a style and feel all their own. My '55 a ground up resto is my best one yet, I feel. Though I call it a Harley and have it registered as a '55 H.D. There's few harley parts on it, Delkron cases with an S&S lower end, S&S sidewinder barrels, STD heads, Wiseco pistons, S&S oil pump all Andrews gears in the late ratchet top tranny box, Paucho frame after market tanks and fenders, well you get the idea. My last pan a '48 custom won me several trophies last year, I hope to out do that with this one!

My honey, Sweet Mo-Mo and I love to take rides through the sierras where we live, one of our favorite rides is the long loop coffee house tour through Yosemite about 200 miles, ten or so coffee houses, a double espresso at each one, it takes all day, breaks your butt... but all that christian crank you don't even notice! We also enjoy camping and fishing with our dog from hell,Tipper.

This is my Roaddawg Doug's '51 pan.Dougs been around a long time, in fact in the first Easyriders published Doug had a bike featured! I like to run my ideas past him before I get to far along, as he knows what won't work. Thanks Doug, your one of the last real brothers!
