UPDATE: I’m guessing it’s a British bike badged as an Indian?

I know there was a Royal Enfield Indian but I can’t find one that looks like this exactly. Can any of the experts clue me in on this?

It’s an Indian ARROW. Cool bike!

A rather rare 1968 Beta 125 Premier wiht almost no miles!

From “Bigtruck” Johnson who is looking for more info on the bike.

Hi, I am looking to get any information I can about my 1968 Beta Premier. It’s a tasty old original with just 10 miles on it! I seen Ted Guthie’s stunning restoration and he mentioned a couple friends each having one. If someone can somehow forward my email to him, maybe he’ll get back to me so I pick his brain. Thanks, Steve

“Rain Delay” Ughh…

It was nice riding in this morning but this is North Florida and that’s never a lasting promise. This was my view at 5 O’clock today for the ride home. Needless to say I was late.

The latest from Murph…

Steve, 

 
Love the Stan Keyes Norton, nice tank.

 I was at a Classic Motorcycle Race in Mill in the Netherlands last weekend and got a whole bunch of great pictures for an upcoming article in the next few weeks, but I thought you might like a few of the shots first. 
 
Regards from Holland,
 

Murph.

SRX-6 Another fantastic single… that more or less bombed in the US.

Today they are sort of cult bikes with a loyal following but they didn’t originally splash big enough to stick around in the US. Singles are my new thing though and I would love to find one in decent shape. It’s ironic that it has a GB500 behind it. Another bike with a similar fate.

The Stan Keyes “Cyco Cycle” Norton Racebike(s).

Known Stan a while now. He builds a hell of a bike. I think this is the one he podiumed on at the Daytona vintage races a few years back. Oh and that’s the Land speed record setting CX Honda in the background.

Here’s another one of his street builds..

And since I know someone will ask (and I can’t find my old post on the bike for some reason), here’s the LSR bike that he rode but did not build.

Dirtbike Vs Deer Video…

…and they’re both tough as nails!  The Deer bolts and the rider gets back on and just keeps riding.

Bike pulling a bike on a bike trailer.

Saw this over on ADV rider.  I love this.  I saw something similar a long time ago where a guy was pulling his Ducati track bike with a Goldwing on his way to the races.  I guess if you get the balance right there’s no reason it can’t be done safely.  That’s about 1000 lbs (with rider) pulling about 400.   Be damm sure to keep those brakes serviced though.
