Long Lean and Lonely Italian Girl Looking for a Soulmate.

I love this bike and I might include it on my “midlife crisis – must own” list except that when I sat on it the handlebars were so far away that I could barely see them. This bike is a serious reach. Probably worth the pain though just for the pleasure of looking at it.

Speedway!

I admit that I don’t know much at all about these bikes or this class of racing.  I think it a wicked little number though. It’s like featherweight Industrial Art.  Go to the end and turn left!   And it’s FOR SALE!

Reader Ride! Kawasaki Zephyr 550. One of my Favorites!

 I’ve always had a soft spot for the Kawasaki Zephyr line of bikes. A very refined version of the original Z and KZ line.

Hi, been a fan of your page for the last couple of months. Thought I’d send in a few pics of my Zephyr 550 project bike. Started out as a homely old craigslist find that I learned to ride on. Project originally intended to just be a fork rebuild and new chain then tuned out to what you see here. I had a lot fun picking everything out, but I could have never anticipated the amount of admiration this little thing gets. Keep up the good work on your page!

Thanks Zach!

The before Pic!
