Jeff Strom Sends in Some pics of his buddies bike (that I think I’ve seen before). And What a beauty it is.  Those pipes are pure porn..

He Writes in:

Hey,
Love your blog, thought I would suggest a bike. I rode with
Mark (who built and owns this buzz bomb), with some triples,
about a month ago. This bike runs as sweet as it looks …

Reaader Ride with "Bonus Triumph Pics.

Aaron sent me a nice silhouette shot of his stable the other day along with a link to his flickr stream.  While perusing his photos I stumbled across this stunner of a custom Triumph Scrambler.  WOW!  Aaron I hope you don’t mind (and if you do I’ll pull them immediately) but I’m a huge Triumph fan and couldn’t pass these up. 

By the way your original submital is excellent and included below. I’d love to see more angles of the Duck and especially Beemer.

Thanks Very Much

Aarons original note:
Hey!
I got a bit inspired on Sunday and had some fun with my DSLR and Photoshop; I ended up with what I think is a very good photo of my two bikes (’75 BMW R75/6 and ’06 Ducati Multistrada 1000s) that you and your readers might like. The original is attached, and other sizes are at my flicker acct (under a Creative Commons license, so feel free to use what you like), here:
Cheers!

Here’s the shanghaied Triumph…

And the original submittable.  Excellent Shot!

Reader Ride. BADASS DR650 Streetfighter / Motard.

Good Morning,
Its a 2003 Suzuki DR650 with a few mods and it gos like stink!
Cheers!

Later he updated me with some build details:

Hey Steve,               
Thanks for your comments.Like you said great handling bike just cluttered and a little ugly.The rear rim is a stock 17″ the front I changed to 18″ it balanced the profile and lowered it an inch.The front and rear suspension were lowered 3″ and still has 7″ of travel.I cut about 12″ off the back frame and welded a new hoop.Seat pan is stock with new foam.The tank is off an old Harley and mounted like the factory. The exhaust, side panels and head light bracket are all one off made by me.The oil cooler I remounted off the front of the frame.All the old tabs were cut and ground off to clean up the frame.The stance of the bike came out perfect and I can still lower it an inch front or rear. The motor is stock except for the pipe,jet kit and K&N filter.Tires are Scorpion A/Ts.The bike is for sale so I can start a new project over the winter.

I’m not interested in becoming a for sale site but if anyone’s interested I’ll get you Mike’s Contact info. I think it great and I’d seriously consider buying it myself but I’ve alead got a DR650 (much more stock) that I’m modding.

2-Stroke Suzuki GT750 Custom Streetfighter Porn…

Damm. Words escape me…

According To The Rumor Mill, Norton is going Racing!

…and not on a small scale either. They’re talking MotoGP. Is it possible that the new Rotary has been developed to the point that it could compete in GP? Will the rules even allow for a rotary bike? If not GP can it race in WSB? This should be interesting. Turn up the volume LOUD!

Here are some vids of the new Rotax powered racebike being developed….
