The red bike to the right came from New Jersey and when purchased had sat for many years.
Firing it up for the first time was incredible. The exhaust is open high pipes, that Jennifer described as almost knocking he off her bike when she was behind me. Needless to say along that first ride she was screaming and waving to me, because my jeans were on fire from the pipes.
The silver and blue bike to the right is an incredibly restored motorcycle that sold on ebay. There was much discussion about this bike and its chromed chassis being over the top.
This bike came from my friend Steve who road raced the bike in the streets of New York through the 1980's. His stories of racing Japanese bikes on the Degan are nothing short of scary, because he could carry more speed through the highways turns. The bike came to me after sitting in Steve's garage for almost 20 years. The original motors case is in the frame, but the case was stripped to construct another motor many years ago. Originally this bike belonged to Augie DeFeo from the famed Ghost Motorcycles (Note the original tank on the ground with the Ghost logo).
