Reader Submittal

Just a few more of that Brough.


I was sent these from the owner himself Mr Ronald Michael Hull and one of the larger ones is now by desktop background. OK I admit it. I’m smitten.. But Damm what a fine machine.

For more fantastic photographs that you’ll have time to view in one sitting please check out his flicker page HERE!


Reader submittal. Beautiful BMW R5 1/3.


Reader Brian bold send in this beauty of an E-bay build. Rolling Sculpture!

This was an ebay find and I knew that the headlight and tank were worth more then my final bid. No one else seemed to feel it was worth more, so it was mine.

Since it was delivered I have taken it down to its major parts, had the frame powdercoated, found a new front and rear render. The tank is next to get attention.

I have added the Hoske pipes, not knowing if they were ever intended for the /3 plunger frame I had to make us some brackets. The SS1 Dellortos were also and ebay purchase, one of the seemingly impossible finds that may not see another pair for some time. The seats are new reproductions, the valve covers are from either a single or R51/2. The engine is interesting in that instead of the standard 68mm bore, there are 72mm pistons on a standard stroke crank.

Thanks much for the pics! Looks to be a real beauty.




Nice Reader Ride! Nice resto-mod CB750C


Reader Mark Higgins send in this nicely massaged CB750

Mark Writes:
Here are some pictures of my 1981 cb750c – Tail light, turn signals,handle bars removed, and replaced with smaller aftermarket parts. The carbs rebuilt,rotors drilled,seat recovered, paint

from a 1956 Mercedes Gullwing. The aluminum covers removed, and, hand polished.Fenders
and exhaust were painted black to tone down what I felt was to much chrome.
Thanks for looking. Mark Higgins

Thanks for the pics! Some nice touches there! I like that “Gull Wing” paint!


UPDATE: Seriously Wild Vincent! Now with bonus pic!


I have no clue where I found this picture. Wild ride though!

UPDATE: Regular contributor Dave Innola saw just sent me this beauty so I figured I’d drop her in here.

Reader submittals! I may be out of web range this weekend so here are a few placeholders in the mean time. I’ll check in if I can.


Special Thanks To regular contributor Mr Dave Innola for the great pictures!

Honda 50R

A Moto Parrila Single Cylinder Racer.

MV Augusta and BSA

Aermacci 2-stroke Racer

250 Nighthawk/Dream 50R "mashup". Fantastic Photoshop Work from reader Tanshanomi!


What an amazing Idea! I keep coming back to lok at this concept. This bike has ridiculous potential. I could just imagine a budget racing class for these similar to the vintage CB160’s that have become so popular.

He writes:
I thought I would share a fun little 250 Nighthawk/Dream 50R mashup I created in Photoshop for your Motorcycle Picture of the Day website. Yes, it looks as if it has a hydraulic drum on the rear, and it is in desperate need of a front disk and 18″ rear rim. But it makes the point that Honda’s little 250 twin could be really cool looking in something a lot more fun than the Rebel cruiser and dowdy commuter bike Honda puts them in now.

Reader ride! An american bike from a German builder!


Michael Middeldorff from germany send in his version of a sporster XCR. What a great take on a TT style ride. This bike must be an absolute blast to ride.

Thanks for the pictures Michael!!


Reader Ride! Beautiful Yamaha GTS 1000


Reader Bill Eberle send in this really nice example of a very unique (forkless “RADD” front suspension) Yamaha! For more info on this one-of-a-kind ride check it out HERE! Or go to the club page HERE!

Some Great BSA rally pics from regular contributor Ted Guthrie!


Ted sent me these a while back. Not sure how they got past me in my E-mail. Sorry about that Ted. Some real beauties in there. I’ve always wanted a Victor (not to mention a ROKON!) and that’s a beauty for sure.

Ted Writes:
Hi, Steve. We had our summer BSA meet this weekend. Here are a few shots of some interesting bikes seen there. Note the “raffle” bike. Anyone can take a shot at it, for just five bucks! Go to the OVBSAOC website for more info.
