The new and improved Moto Retro Magazine!
Just got an email from Mitch Boehm that included and image of the new (and about-to-be-released) Moto Retro Magazine. For those of you who don't know, his previous effort "Motorcyclist Retro Magazine" went down to tough economic decisions that sadly had nothing to do with the quality of the product. So Mitch has branched out on his own and is continuing as a more self published entity. For now it's subscription only but it promises to be a very high quality product. I have all three copies of his previous venture and I can't recomment it highly enough. For more info.... Check it out HERE!

Rotary Val... err... correction... ROTARY ENGINE Norton Racebike
Corrected by an alert reader. Thanks Justin! You know I actually knew that but I'm such a 2-stroke junkie that I had rotary valve on the brain... LOL
The last 15 seconds of this video make me lightheaded... DAMM!

I'm totally freaking speechless on this one
This is a copy from an Advnture Rider thread I stumbled across. Now this is some wild freaking stuff. Backyard V8... errr....Choppers? Customs? Judge for yourself...
"I was passing this guys place last spring in AZ. and the TIRE caught my eye...had to go back and check it out.
I had a business card from the guy but missplaced it....He has a little cafe a few miles out of Globe AZ. on the mtn. pass. Has a shop adjacent to the little cafe...real nice guy. He is big and bad ass enough to ride these brutes! He builds them from scratch, obviously....Here's a few more pics. of some other bikes he's done and doing.....He's started building bikes in the 60's. He had a photo of a twin V-8 bike he built in the 70's."


Big Block Chev.
has some sort of 2-speed automatic transmission.....

Small block chev. in this one.....59 caddy tail lights

wouldn't want to slip off the seat..............

This had a chev. 383 stroker motor.....building for a client......

Work in progress......

no front brake....probably wouldn't matter......
