Holiday chaos here! So Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas! We’ll resume in a few days!

My sincerest wishes to each and every one of you for a fantastic holiday season. I’ll be taking a break for a few days to spend time with family. I hope you all have the chance to do the same.

Tasty Tracker!

Dave Dewey followed up on a project of his that I’ve been spying for a while now.  Looks like she’s done!

At the Suzuki TU250 Cafe!

Saweeeet little build! Yet more proof that you don’t need big bucks to build cool bikes. I’d have killed for something like this once upon a time…

And along the lines of the recent E-bike discussion….

An interesting lead acid amateur build.  Sorry I don’t have any other info.  Also from a Steve Ginn Album

A nice album link to the Seattle Motorcycle show.

Thanks to Steve Ginn who I’ve been following for a while now for making these available. LINK TO ALBUM HERE

Car vs Bike… unfortunately done in a totally pointless way.

There’s almost no point in posting this mangled and bastardized stunt (test is too generous a term). It could have been hugely interesting had they bothered to wait for the right conditions…
