More great stuff from David Martin. IOM "Works" Norton Commando.

I don’t exactly know the story behind this one (anyone?) but this picture stopped me cold. Talk about rolling sculpture. Thank you once agaim Mr Martin!

MV Agusta MV3 strip show..

Thanks again to reader David Martin for this great photograph. You don’t often see them this “vulnerable” lol.. You can really see the design intent of this machine. Very large frame tubes (for the time). This bike was clearly designed to brawl.

One BADASS Buell Flattracker…

This thing must be a freaking ummm…

…”blast” to ride… ?

ugh.. sorry bout that.. 🙂

Thanks again go to Pete Giammalvo for the pics!


Hey There little red riding …trike?

Custom trikes usually aren’t my thing but this picture from reader Christi Kapp has something about it. The builder had a sense of humor along with some serious fab skills. Thanks for the pics!

Christi writes:

This is a trike built by Art In Motion, LLC called “Flyin’ Trike” – it was inspired by the Little Red Rider Tricycle that many of us had as kids… the “bells” are actually Arlen Ness hand controls, the fringe is chrome leather… and we chromed the front fender too to match the little trike. We took this photo in the Badlands of South Dakota just after Sturgis last year.

David Maritn Writes:

Pure Sex Boyo!

Couldn’t have said it better myself! Wow! I’m going to make a wild guess that it’s a “Sport Special”?? 150 maybe? I’m obviously not a Parilla aficionado so please set me straight. Sex on wheels though.

Honda CL 70… Cafe Racer! (update)

Ted Guthrie keeps sending in some really great stuff. He caught this one at Vintage Motorcycle Days a few years ago. What a cool build! When I was 12 I would have done anything for a ride like this! Well Done!

Thanks again Ted!


UPDATE:
While we’re at it, he also included some sweet Ducati singles from the same show. I do love those little ducks..

Reader Ride. Ducati Scrambler

Cesar Vergara Sends in these great pics of his Ducati Scrambler

He Writes:

I live in Miami beach …. It hasn’t been one day that people don’t stop me and comment on how good the bike looks. I love my Ducati.

NO DOUBT!! Thanks for the pics! Here’s a link to an earlier post of a similar bike belonging to friend of mine. http://motorcyclepictureoftheday.blogspot.com/2009/03/ducati-scrambler-rendering-wow-what.html

Reader Ride! Honda "Super Four" CB400

All the way from Manila, Philippines. Thanks Very Much to reader Isleta Digoy for sending in such a cool ride. I love the Repsol paint scheme. This would also fall under the category of really cool bikes that we don’t get in the U.S.

Ohio Valley BSA Owners Club "Reliability Run". Some More Great Pics from Ted Guthrie!

Woke up this morning wondering where to go with today’s post and was very happy to find a few e-mails from regular contributor Ted Guthrie. He’s been busy lately and sent in these fantastic pictures.

Ted Writes:

Hi, Steve. Attended the Ohio Valley BSA Owners Club spring meet this last weekend. Lots of cool bikes on hand, as usual. The following images represent a sampling of machines, which took part in Saturday’s Reliability Run (vintage dual-sport) event. So, these bikes are riders, not just for show, and as a result wear their battle scars proudly.
Note, the guy posing behind the Penton MC5 is none other than Jack Penton.
I’m sending these in full-res, so I’ll send more in separate e-mail. Enjoy.
Additionally:

Here are a few more. Note, in addition to those bikes, which participated in the Reliability Run, the pretty blue BSA single and the old Indian were part of the BSA Club’s vintage trilas event, and the cool, little ’52 Triumph Terrier is in flattracker guise.

Great Stuff as always! You can even see the grins under some of those helmets. Thanks Much Ted!
