Not sure if this counts...but this is one of my bikes thats an inspiration. My Commando...mmm. 1975 Commando 850. This is one of two bikes that I can just sit and look at in the garage. I had to ride her to work today. It was gorgeous outside and she was just BEGGING me...here's a pic in the parking lot at work a few minutes ago. I apologize for the quality it's taken with my cell phone.

This ain't no motorcycle but inspiring none the less. Well maybe to some.

I've been into bikes my whole life. I raced BMX as a kid, raced cross country, raced downhill, road and cyclocross, even got back into BMX street and dirt jumping in my 30's and I've been a bike mechanic for 15+ years. The guys that ride trials and street like that still blow my mind to this day.

I could make the exact same post minus the cyclecross and 15+ years as a mechanic. I wrenched on my own bikes but never anybody else's. But, yeah spent my whole life on two wheels and still can't do a flip off tree.

Even though not motorcycle it's real impressive stuff, incredible balance.
I wouldn't even attempt it without bike.
Riding along fence at beginning made me cringe, bars are only 3/4" square faliing on them would be...........
doesn't bear thinking about.

I really like the sprung & shocked seat on this.... is that a Board Tracker? And the taper to that tank takes the old design one further I think too.
Is that a flywheel on the countershaft?

cafeconleche · « **Reply #2711 on:** August 16, 2009, 08:11:24 AM »

Agreed, very nice touch

I don't think it's a clutch, I think it's either a jackshaft or a brake.

The SUV of motorcycles?

This one's on Craigslist in Boston for 6G's Looks like a BCR oil tank. The fiberglass fuel tank leaks though, well it was a nice paintjob.......
I like the blacked fender and the rear signal placement.

Ecosse · « **Reply #2721 on:** August 18, 2009, 11:51:25 PM »

can't recall where i found this.

i know a certain someone will like this: 1952 nimbus

... almost as much as this.

Bring a defib....

My heart just stopped.

Nothing like an inline 4 to warm the cockles of yer heart!!

And I do mean, nothing.. to bad the nimbus does not have round tubing..

a buddy of mine has a couple inlines, a Henderson, think a Pierce project and that early FN motor.. the Henderson is set up tracker style..

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #2724 on:** August 19, 2009, 10:02:49 AM »

Pics 754.... pics.

You mean not round frame tubing?

I think the engine makes up for it lol.
