Keep warm Murph!

Hello Steve and salutations to you for 2013.

 
I just arrived in Nordkapp, Norway on Jan 1st, 2013, a milestone for me really since I had planned to be here in October when the weather wasn’t as bad. But it’s as far north as a person car ride or drive i Europe, so I’m happy I reached it.
The Mobec 2 Wheel Drive on the outfit makes an incredible difference when you’re riding on ice and snow. I don’t think I would have made it this far at this time of year without it.
 
I am back in Alta and leave this week for Rovaniemi, Finland and then continue south east to Imatra and then cross over the border into St. Petersburg, Russia.
 
Hope all is well,
 
Regards,
 

Murph.

Department Store Bikes! This one a Montgomery Wards! I sense a new theme!


I love the Mojave. And a LOT of people love to use that tank on Cafe transformations!

Saw the Allstate and wanted to send in my unrestored Montgomery Wards Mojave 260 with 1,739 miles on it.

A pair of sweet 2 stroke Suzukis!


Just gorgeous!  Thanks to Trevor Denning.

Here is two of what I consider the best two strokes ever made.  The GT I have owned for 26 yrs the RG for 18 yrs.  Neither are standard.

Thanks TREVOR

A nice Twingle! 1964 Allstate 250.


UPDATE (from the comments, Thanks Viv): A link to the inner workings on the Twingles

This one is for my buddy Doug who has a real thing for these oddly engineered bikes. I actually know the brother of the gentlemen who restored this bike and from what I heard it was a remarkable effort to get it this nice.

A Fun Little Honda Custom 360.


And if fun is the point then this is a good start for a first build.

…first bike I ever owned, thus the first bike Ive modded. Also, the NOS bottle…its a toolbox, the top just pops off. But it makes the guys on the HDs think twice, bout messing w me… lol
