One scary singletrack video.


By this time tomorrow night I hope to be bringing back a new (to me) enduro / dualsport bike.  But I guarantee that you won’t see me riding this trail!  Very impressive singletrack.

Outrageous Turbocharged Harley Street Tracker / Street Fighter or… whatever…


Sure it’s a big corporate sponsored show bike (which I usually don’t go in for) but the creative routing of the exhaust straight off the turbocharger is just too freaking cool.

 
 

A Pair of Excellent (and Italian) Reader Rides.


One old and one new but both “classics”.

The first is from Richard E Jones who is also the owner of the excellent Motokafe Blog.  Very nice site. Be sure and check him out.  He sends in a stylish pic of the “business end” of his sweet 2010 Ducati  Hypermotard.

The next bike was sent in by Josh Wright

Josh sends in his… “1985 Moto Guzzi Le Mans 1000 IV, it’ll be taking me to France, Switzerland and Italy this summer, can’t wait.
All original with 40mm Del’Orto carbs and La Franconi exhausts, which give the deepest roar at idle and sound even better on the road.”

 

Really great rides gentlemen. thanks very much for sending them in. I envy you both.

Now for something a bit different! 1939 BMW R71


Some old school Bavarian cool!  And it’s for sale.  Don’t know for how long though.  For the record, no  not mine and I do not know the owner.

Koehler Escoffier "Industrial Art"


It’s my understanding from reading some translated pages that there were only 13 of this French made racing model ever built. I’m searching in vain for a definitive site on this brand. Any help along these lines that I could pas along to my readers would be very much appreciated!

 
 

Reader Ride. One tough Triumph Scrambler.


Mario Spatarella sends in some pics and video of his tough looking scrambler. I love the pipe treatment and blacked out wheels.

Thank You Mario!

Here’s a nice Video.
