alsfarms Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Do yo have a bit of Danish blood in you? I have some Viking heritage and would like to locate a Nimbus also. If you run across two, I will take the second one! 🙂 Al 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer09 Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 When I was 23, traveled through Europe and saw one. Was always fascinated with that 4 cly! Have had BMW's and was thinking, that would be a real fun bike to tool around on. so yes, will look for one.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercer09 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 several for sale in the Mecum auction..not a rare bike or a fast bike or a comfortable suspension..an acquired taste kinda bike I would call it a mid century bike- stylish................ overhead valve 4 cylinder. Like a Buick! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer09 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 very cool Panhead............. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I may venture a trip to the homeland (Denmark) and simply shop for one while I am there. Then spend a day to prep for shipping and send it home. Sounds so easy doesn't it! Per above comments, in stock form they are a very utilitarian bike made for working folks and the Nimbus does have a following, big money....nope! I have watched a You Tube clip of a Nimbus race prepared and running on alcohol.....it made the hair stand up on the back of my head to listen to it......impressive!

mercer09 Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 yes, there are plenty in Europe, but not so much here in the US. found one in Canada, but in the end, almost the same hassle as shipping from Europe. Im in no hurry, so will bide my time. The design is mid century and you will be sure to steal the show, driving up on one. good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 I saw one for sell in Colorado a couple of years ago....but missed the boat on that one. Like you are thinking, one will happen for me also. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Chassis made of old bedframes. When I worked at Warner Bros. in Burbank, a guy used to ride one to work often. It was a very cool bike, a modern antique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
