Royal Purple Oil & V8 Choppers

First off, the fire on the hillside seems to be under control today.  I don't see any smoke or fire up there so all is well.  It is good that they got it under control since today is very windy and would make fighting the fire very difficult.

Some of the people in the park are connected with Royal Purple Synthetic Oil and also with V8 Choppers.  They are a very nice group of people who love their trike motorcyles.  They manufacture the bikes in Oklahoma and they are beautiful bikes.

Their website is: Royal Purple Oil
 

One of the riders drove by today and was going to load his bike into a trailer to take back to Illinois where he lives.  This bike had a 600hp, Chevy small block V8 as it's powerplant.  Whew, that is more hp than I have in the motorhome.  The bike gets 15mpg and has two fuel tanks, one is the standard tank and holds 7 gallons and the auxilary tank holds 3 gallons.  He said they ride like a dream and are very popular around here.  I took some pictures to give you an idea how nice the bike is.

  1. I've heard a lot of good things about royal purple synthetic oil. That bike looked fantastic, I still can't believe that they put a v8 in there. Great pictures.
