About as special a racebike as there may be on this earth.

Helmet Stories. Interesting blog.

Lots of nice material for the Royal Enfield fans out there.

It was lovely to see the Lost Rider post and I thought I would share with you some photographs of my ride to Ladakh. I do this ride every year and I find something new — in the landscape, the people and in me — each time

Hard Core Landscape Wanderlust… The Lostrider Panaroma.

I’m glad that Finn gave me to OK to use this photo right after I asked him because I would have probably made a pest of myself till he did.   He took this shot  “from a quick ride I did to Chicago from LA, with a detour around Moab…”  God I can’t wait till I get some free time to go explore on the big DR.  Don’t know about Moab but anywhere outside of flat old Florida would be a nice change.   Please do yourself a favor and go visit his site over at LOSTRIDER.com.  Tons of great shots that will put you in the mood to go ride and explore.

 

Thanks Finn.

 

UPDATE: A Russian Beast of unknown origin!

From he comments: This bike is made of parts of Dnepr motorcycles and engine from “Moskvich” car. The owner of this bike Anton “Pzirak” (Ghost) lives in Moscow. The motorcycle was built somewhere in 2004.

Thanks for the info!

Buck Pilkenton send in this really rugged looking Russian built trike.

Hi,
There’s a website called EnglishRussia that has all manner of interesting photographic articles on just about any subject. This machine was in an odd transport article, with no words about it, so I won’t add any.
Buck

Thanks! Anyone know anything about this monstrosity?

 

 

If anybody attends this show… send me some pics!

I don’t speak a word of Italian but I do love the…. er… bike! Yep there it is!
