  5. I did the same thing with my new 67 XLH Sportster and 66 Big Block 4 speed El Camino wile at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Should have kept both of them!

  6. Decided to go to Daytona motorcycle races at midnight one night. Washed my
    76' El Camino SS 400 small block and loaded 2 Harleys by myself off a slope in
    my front yard (77 cafe and my 62 KR-TT
    factory road racer). Left Knoxville at 6:00
    and was sitting at a beer stop next to the track at a little before 2:00. Wish I had that energy now!

  7. It's got two ratchet straps pulling the rear tire into the corner, and sitting on a sidestand. I would have preferred more downpull on the front end, but it's adequate for short range travel.

  8. Why are old dogs and Harley's alike? Cuz they both like to ride in the bed of a pickup!
    Harley, Harley made of tin. Ride 'em out and push 'em in.

    1. There are a lot of great bikes out there. I don't trash other peoples choice. I suspect your favorite ride
      is furry and cries baaaha when you
      climb on!

  9. Why can't they make a pickup bed big enough for a motorcycle these days? Why can't they make an El Camino/Ranchero these days?

  10. They could make them but the market is not there. Find one and restore it. It would still be a better ride and without all the government crap that traces your every move!

  11. All the el trucks have been restored and you can't afford them.....

  12. You haven't looked very hard. There are a lot out there, and they all offer a great platform to restore or hotrod. Don't give up! ( I have a 76 SS 400 small block and a 87' ChooChoo last year that could be bought. Dig a little harder!
