Maybe my favorite “realistic” classic Harley and this one’s a well photographed beauty. The contributor prefers to remain anonymous.
Your readers may be interested in my ’69 XLCH, but I’d like to remain anonymous if you care to publish photos.
Just the way you’d want one back in the day…and today too. Alloys. Bates pad & pillion. Older slash cut mufflers. Shock covers. PB cams. All black.
Thank you sir!
Another nice contribution from our regular contributor Mr. Ted Guthrie

Hi, Steve. Spent a couple of days at the Wauseon, Ohio AMCA meet. There is always SO much cool stuff there. Among all the great bikes was this little Maserati, on display by the National Motorcycle Museum folks. Coordinator Mark Mederski says the bike is headed for the Pebble Beach Concours.
Thanks Ted,
I can’t imagine how rare this bike must be. Some interesting background can be found HERE
Vince Fyie sent in a collection of great pics from the 2010 Mid Ohio motorcycle show/races/swapmeet as well as some nice shots of his granddaughter racing on the Salt Flats for the first time. This is a bit of an experiment with the gallery function. Hope it works OK.. Please let me know if this acts up on any browsers or assorted phones and devices out there and I’ll see what I can do.
Thanks folks!
I actually whistled loudly when this photo popped up on my screen. To me this is pure lust..
Mk VII KTT – pure distilled essence of motorcycle. Thanks for looking, and ride safe

Thank you Buck!
Another great bike from reader Paul Mattson. I love the old department store bikes. Some good info on the old MW bikes HERE… and Here as well . From what I’ve read this is a mid 60’s 125cc 2 stroke re-badged Benelli (since there is a spare tank next to it that would appear to fit this bike as well).
I know there’s an entire universe of custom Monsters out there that could (and do) support a large segment of blogs all on their own. There is some great stuff going on over there. For example…
