Stelvio Pass Onboard Video. Simply Awesome!

This one’s on my “bucket list” for sure…

Saw this over on Steve’s Naked Bike Blog. Good Stuff. Check em out.

STELVIO : HOT BRAKES AND HAIRPINS from MOTORBIKE EUROPE on Vimeo.

Update: Video. Freaking hilarious (and at the same time impressive) IOM segment.

Update: And now of course he’s being sought by the authorities: BBC Story

I’m sorry if this offends everyone’s sensibilities but this is great. Just like the title says.. 150mph Naked on a bike (as opposed to on a naked bike) lol…

Some sweet motorcycle paintings from artist Casey Lynch.

Casey Lynch sent in photo’s of his artwork. I asked him about work he might have for sale and if he’ll take commissions etc.

Thanks for the response and for the kind words, Steve!

No worries about sending some larger pics – I’d love to. I’m not much of a computer guy and I don’t know much about resolution …

The Husky is sold, but I have the Triumph for sale at a local place in town for $375. It’s big (30″ x 40″), so I’m not sure what it would cost to ship it. And I’m always willing to do commissions! I’ve done a few – on my website CASEYLYNCH.NET you can pick ‘cars, motorcycles, and planes’ in the Categories heading to check them out.

Thanks Steve!

Thank you Case.  It’s great stuff.  I like the style a lot especially so since it’s nice and large.   I bet some of the old 70’s 2 strokes that I’m into would look great.  An old Kawi H1 or RD350 maybe.. Food for though when I get a few extra $$ socked away.

 

 

Hi Steve – here’s the Husky 400…

 

 

… and here’s the flat tracker, based on Gary Scott’s ’77 Triumph (with
my own color scheme – his was green and white):
Again, thanks!

An exceptional and very unique Spondon framed Honda Fireblade

Ges Gilbert wrote in with this exceptional Spondon framed Fireblade

Hi Steve, Here is my ’96 Spondon Fireblade, I wrote to you some time ago about it. I believe it to be only one of 25 frames ever made for the Fireblade engine by Spondon Engineering, Derbyshire, England. I’ve customised it with MV Agusta seat and RS Aprilia half fairing. It also has a GSXR1000 k6 front end held together by Gilles Adjustable Yokes and bars. Controls are Swedish ISR and front wheel is a Japanese Galespeed forged wheel with Galfer wave discs. Rear suspension is of course, Ohlins I hope you can feature on your website as there aren’t many Spondon Bikes shown. She handles like a dream and the paint work is what I think if HRC and Spondon ever got together for a grand prix or Moto2 bike. Cheers Ges.

Fantastic Bike!

Reader Restoration. A sweet 1965 Honda S90 before and after.

Thanks to Danny Brimhall of Mesa, AZ
I restored it last year. Took me around 9 months.

Beautiful work!

Some before shots!
