BSA -Beautiful Steel & Alloy, or Bobber Scrambler & Art






This is the future of the past for now

Just when I'm losing it, one of my favourite blogs http://www.pipeburn.com/ comes up with a retro Norton Cafe Racer he artfully photoshopped, and trumped the Neo-Vintage style wonderfully ! This is the (past) future....

tw225 - why do we ride bikes ?

To be individual
to have fun

and try to look cool (sometimes).
I wish we had TW's in Australia -

Royal Enfield Super Bullet 500 Scrambler



This work of art is from a Netherlands Museum I think - you can see more high quality photographs of vintage racing bikes (and dramatic Nordic landscapes) at Hans Viveen's Flikr site:

1929 Douglas 500cc Dirtbike !!




Australian motor racing celebrity & car dealer Reg Hunt purchased the 500cc ‘Cinders’ dirt track bike on the understanding that it had once belonged to the American showman & racer Sprouts Elders, distinctive by its silver frame a Signature of Sprouts’ bikes. It is highly original and in its dirt track form. Sold recently at Sothebys. Would love to tear up the local golf course on this baby.

Let's go Digger - Pink Taco build photos



These build pics of the "Pink Taco' are the Pelicans Pants. You can see a few custom builders at the Yokohama Show starting to take on this early Arlen Ness Digger style as well, and it's far freakier than the choppers and bobbers out there -Check it out, and lots of other diggers as well.

Dell-Sara custom shop






Japanese custom shops that specialize in Yamaha SR's are about as rare as pencils, but this one has some interesting hop-ups, and a clean style that I like. Here's the link to their site: http://www.dell-sara1995.com/menu.html
