Update: Flawless Honda CL175 Scrambler.

Update: This is obviously a CL and not a CB. Mu bad.
It’s rare to see this with a such a perfect pipe.

Yamaha SR500 Street Tracker.

As a recently converted thumper fan, this looks like a LOT of fun.

How to out run a helicopter on a GSXR 1000 Superbike by Guy Martin

Hat tip to an excellent blog I just discovered: motographite.com

Another very creative “Dime City Cycles” Cafe Racer.

It’s an 88 Honda Shadow VT 800c engine.  I love “outside the box” bikes like these. You’re starting to see a lot of cafe’d Viragos out there so it’s cool to see another common V-twin platform incorporated. Nicely done.

A 1964 Triumph Triton T150 (by special request)

Someone wanted to see “the bike parked next to the RC30”. Here you go.

Word has it that this is the “Brass Cafe” that Dime City Cycles did for season 1 of Cafe Racer

I didn’t get a picture of the info plaque so this comes from a friend. They had a booth at the RIH show and I’ll have more of their excellent bikes up shortly.

A Motard BSA Gold Star

No that’s not a typo….
Thanks to our regular contributor Chuck Lathe who writes in:

I’m attaching a couple of photos of a BSA Gold Star. I wrote the owners name down, but now I can’t remember which one is his name. Anyway, I asked and he said the bike weighs about 320 pounds. There are a couple of very small headlights and there is a tag and brake light under the seat so a lot of cops would say it’s street legal. (I’m guessing others might not.) Instead of a of a primary chain, he has a belt in there. The bike was on the road and sounds good and not at all obnoxious.

Keep up the good work.
