Three new pics from Robie Pruden our Northwest correspondent!

Robbie consider the position filled! You are now the NW correspondent to MCPOTD. Unfortunately there’s no pay or benefits but you do get to go riding a lot and practice your camera skills!

Steve ,
Here’s 3 more from the LeMay show

(Let’s see if William Ferry bites!) Oh good one – ed

1) A very “washed” Cafe racer
2) A very busy Moto Guzzi
3) A 1949 triumph T100

I’m Applying for a new position as NW correspondant to Mcpotd.

In this shot you HAVE to appreciate the commitment to the genre when they cast a clutch cover to match the theme!  Must be a great ride!

I’ve heard these referred to as a cheese slicer for the flywheel on the other side.

That’s just gorgeous!

A very VERY fine Honda Cafe from the UK.

Alright Lads,

Just managed to tear myself away from your site, inspirational, moving, funny and a damn good read.
Thought I’d attach a couple of pics of my latest creation, this one I will keep.

Full build file and pics / vids made so I can reminisce and pass on what ever info may be needed.

Good one, keep it up,

Replica of the first “motorcycle” ever..

Yes it’s open to “interpretation” and debate (click for timeline) on several factors but if I recall my high school class presentation correctly (I got a A since the teacher was a motorhead) this is a replica of what is generally regarded to be the first ICE (Internal Combustion Engined) motorcycle ever built by none other than Gottlieb Daimler (of Daimler Benz fame).  This particular photo is from the Pebble Beach album of Steve Ginn whom I’ve followed and borrowed from a few times over the years.  Click throug for lots of other great shots.

CORRECTION! It’s an Arctic Cat powered 2 stroke street legal drag bike!

UPDATE:  Sorry about that Brent.

 

From Brent and Tammy Soper. Bike seen in THIS earlier post

Heres a current picture of me laying down a pass on my Suzuki VX with its Arctic Cat 900 triple sled engine. Only went 10.61@121 mph, not too bad for its second run ever. Launched real good did a 1.495 60′ time. Ran out of gear by the 1000′ mark so another tooth on the front sprocket is a must and get jetting right.

Very respectable for such a wild experimental build! That tire looks to be getting a nice bite on launch. Please keep us posted as you keep dialing her in!
