Ana Carrasco, WSBK Supersport 300 World Champion. What a star!

Spanish rider Ana Carrasco has become the first female rider to win a motorbike world championship, winning the title by a single point over countryman Mika Perez. The 21-year-old claimed her title in the World Supersport 300. Twitter has gone crazy, and she deserves all the accolades.

Here's where you can get some merch if you want it:

SUZUKI T500 Post Classic Racer

I'm sure plenty of you looked at T500's 15 years ago and thought "they're cheap and fast - I should get one for Post Classic racing" - and like me you're now kicking yourself you didn't. Here's a few that did anyway....

A young Eddie Lawson

Love this pic of Eddie's early racing days on an Italjet

Hooning about on a '70 Bushmaster.

Honda SS50 Racer

Even grey cats can be 'boy racers' (man, is this where i'm heading ? guess it could be worse....beats riding Hardleys to the cafe & back).

Big thanks to the wonderful http://chalopy.blogspot.com

check 'em out.

More European gems

Thanks to Pipeburn for spotting a Netherlands Co. called Aermacchi Racing, who sell stunning Aermacci kit replicas and parts. The frames are works of art (and I don't say that lightly - see comparison below):

Derbi Racer (not Japanese, Spanish..who cares?)

Thanks to the creative people at: http://lecontainer.blogspot.com/
Go have a look.

Honda 1954 R125 Racer

Don't know the heritage of this cool boy racer from the 50's - the frame and tank look vaguely Ducati scrambler. (It would be a great template for one of the Honda 50 Solo's below).

Teds Special Motorcycle Works - Honda 77's

Here's a wonderful brace of CL/CB 77's from custom Japanese tuner Teds. They aslo have interesting (and pricey)bikes for sale, mostly vinage Hondas, but a few exotics as well.

(this last one is a CB 72)

Suzuki TR500 Seeley frame replica

While looking for Kawa tr250's I found this brilliant Suzi replica - the pictures speak for themselves. By David Maskell of the UK, and the link, with loads of tech. is here:

Krazy triples

I Saw this wonderfully spit n polished kwaka triple sidecar outfit parked outside the local HEADWORKS bike shop in Carnegie, Melbourne (popular with the classic racers I beleive).
Apologies for the quality - my digital was flat so I grabbed a disposable camera from the

nearest shop... I'm planning a review on this store shortly, so will ask more details on this beast.

Mucking around with lens blur....

Clean Flat tracker style

I know there are many wonderful Yamaha flattrackers out there of all sizes (most paying homage to Kenny the Great), but here's a couple of new takes on the theme:

I love the clean lines of this 450

Ready for action, and looking the business (except for the sidesaddle pillion chair attached to the rear mudguard).

The Honda version - be still my beating heart.... I think I have a new project.

Let's look at it again......aaaahh

little red speedblock, and classic Kenny colours.
