Racebike

Maico 490!

I haven’t been “scared” of a motorcycle since I was a child but I honestly think that I would pause for a moment and “clear my wits” before throwing a leg over one of these beasts. Which of course makes me want one all the more!


Hats off to Sideblog for this one.


One of the most incredible racing photo’s I’ve ever seen. It’s a perfectly captured moment.

And it comes from a really great blog. Go check out Sideblog. Home of Sideburn magazine. Well worth a look. These gents definately get it! I’ll be down in Daytona in a few weeks and this has definatetly put the flattrack races on my schedule!

1968 Bultaco Sherpa.

It a flat Tracker extravaganza around here lately. Here’s a nice old Bultaco set up Flat Track style!

A pair of great pictures from reader Don Miller.

Don picked up on the MX250 pics I’ve posted and chips in with a couple of really great shots.

Don Writes:

Steve;

Not only did the motors appear stock in Moto Crossers. A lot of flat track racers used them in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Here’s a couple of my Harley MX 250 in a Boss frame. On is of Jay Springsteen on it and the other is me being chased by 2 very big 4 strokes.

Later,Don

Thanks Much Don. As always, very much appreciated!
