The Cooley Crosby Suzuki endurance Racer.


Old school racing cool. This is a bit of a repeat. I have an old post on this bike but it was only one side shot. These are much nicer.

UPDATE: BMW…. WOW!


Thanks to Craig NOS in the comments and a link to a French message board.

Racer made by Sebastien in the south of France (Var) then sold. More details in the forum link. I am looking for more information.Craig NOS from Ze Craignos Monstercycles.blog

And one more bonus pic lifted from over there: Stunner!

I really want to know more bout this bike but I found it in a really obscure place. Can anyone enlighten me a bit on what must be a fairly well known ride in BMW circles?

If you happenned to be in New (as opposed to just plain old) Zealand Yesterday did you make it by the Webbs auctions?


There was a stunner of an auction there. I’d love to know how it went.

This was Lot 42

What was the bike that "Lawerence of Arabia" owned?


A Brough Superior of course.

Thanks to an alert reader!

Hi there! Thanks for a brilliant site.

I was walking around the Imperial War Museum in London yesterday and came across Lawrence of Arabia’s SS100 Brough Superior. I’m not sure that it’s suitable for the site, but I thought you’d like it. Lawrence owned eight of these beauties and they were all called George!

Thanks again
Jezza

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 …

No Problem Jeff.  Thanks Much for the great shots!

By The Way. Thanks To everyone for the "Five Favorites" Feedback!


 Thanks To everyone for the “Five Favorites” Feedback!  I’m going to do a little digging into the bikes that folks submitted and comment on it later.  Maybe pull some of the interestng choices and see what I can come up with by way of images.  I think we’ll do something on a Five Favorite “anything goes” (as opposed to production bikes only) thread sometime next week so give it some thought and please stay tuned.
