Update: 1968 "Montgomery Wards" 360 Mojave Benelli.

UPDATE: Apparently our favorite concept designer has been looking at these old beauties for inspiration!



From the days when you could buy a "real" motorcycle at a department store or out of a mail order catalog. What a fantastic example. And yes that's a rebadged Benelli.

Beautiful High-pipe Norton 750 Commando

Sorry.. Been out riding! Here's a nice Velocette Scrambler 500 to make it up to everyone.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Virago!! Flat tracker!?!

In my new found fascination with all things Virago (see HEREe and HERE)I've discovered yet another incarnation of the basic simple V-twin ride... Soon we'll be seeing Virago motocross bikes lol!

Now that's my kind of parking lot.. KZ1000... and friends.

Only the second car I've posted... but DAMM.

A seriously brutal motorcycle. Kawasaki MotoGP ZX-RR.

If some motorcycles are "hammers" and others are "knives" then this this is a surgical scalple on steroids. Kawasaki has always had a knack for building brutal looking (and performing) bikes. This GP bike is like the epitome of that philosophy. It's among the most raw, brutish purpose driven designes I've ever seen.

Suzuki RG500 "Gamma"

Worlds Fastest Monkey!!

WOW! Full Story HERE!

The Interceptor and the Hawk

Yamaha XT500. One of my all time fovorite bikes,

I remember when I was a kid, wearing a groove in the dealers showroom floor oogling over this bike. Just has that certain... something... sigh...

Some Great BSA rally pics from regular contributor Ted Guthrie!

Ted sent me these a while back. Not sure how they got past me in my E-mail. Sorry about that Ted. Some real beauties in there. I've always wanted a Victor (not to mention a ROKON!) and that's a beauty for sure.

Ted Writes:
Hi, Steve. We had our summer BSA meet this weekend. Here are a few shots of some interesting bikes seen there. Note the "raffle" bike. Anyone can take a shot at it, for just five bucks! Go to the OVBSAOC website for more info.

Sweet Ducat Scrambler 250... Too damm sexy..

God I love this little bike. How do the Italians do it exactly. Even in the early 60's they could take a plain Jane scrambler and whip up something worthy of Sophia Loren... Fantastic-o!

UPDATE! Baaaaad little single cylinder... Yamaha?

UPDATE!!: For a complete set of pics of this bike go check out THIS POST on the always excellent "Chopcult" !!
