That Beemer at the top looks fantastic, sort of reminds me of a 2 wheeled version of the very rare Merc SSK Autobahn Courier.  |

I love bobbers - SOOOOOOOOO much cooler than choppers. As for old bikes, my mate's Dad was tinkering with his BSA the other day, (he's owned it 50-odd years) I had a look at, and commented on, the speedo - 97 and a half thousand miles. "How many times has that been around?" "Three" Just shy of 400,000 miles - you have got to tip your hat to that! It was also a hardtail frame and he designed and made his own swinging arm for it 50 years ago.  |

Yeah, that's great.
I love some of the old hillclimb bikes as well; Performance Bikes bid a feature on them back in about 1990. I might still have it somewhere. I'll scan it in if I have.

Nah, I'm a big fan of the old skool cafe racers... Gimme one of them over a bobber any day, then at least I won't look like I'm in the Village People.  On a slight tangent here, but anyone seen the Moto Guzzi V7 Cafe? Modern bike, old style. Gotta love it. Plus it's a Guzzi, which makes it even better. Your thoughts? |

Yeah, I've always liked Guzzis. The LeMans Mk1 is about the best-looking (big-wheeled) bike ever.
Wanna see a pic or two of my Morini? It's gone, now, unfortunately...
