I dig the vintage yamaha

CB900F tastefully caffeinated (and fairly cheaply, too).

Boardtracker.

From a distance, I thought this was an AJS Porcupine, but it turns out to be a Norton. Looks like an experimental bike (probably a one-off) with a Manx Norton engine laid forward. Cylinder head must be a one-off, but the barrel is still finned as for a standard Manx.

Nice Laverda Jota. This was being used properly on the track.

Beautiful Guzzi Le Mans that had some really nice touches on it.

Triumoh Trident.

Big Zed.

450 Desmo. Sweet.

Moto Martin GT380 with 3-1 spannies.

Tasty XS650 cafe.

Indian Velo 500.

Triumph-engined Italjet Grifon.

Egli Vincent.

Another nice Vincent.

steelworker, you sir have hit the jack pot!

Think the purple Triumph's frame is a Moto Martin? And that Norton is outta this world!

Drop by the two or three+ tracker related threads too. Honda, other, and speedway, all have eye candy.

Again, great stuff sw.

Structural steelwork plater/welder, retired. I now price the same kind of work for http://www.apexstructures.co.uk/home/about_us.htm. We fab and erect all kinds of structures, but kind of specialise in temporary facade retention work on buildings in London, which we're close to. We prop up the facade while the existing structure behind it is demolished and a new structure tied into the old (usually listed) facade.

Since you liked those, I'll post some more motoporn as soon as I can upload more photos.

Cheers

Don't ask me why but this gives me some inspiration.

Not for the Seeley rep that I'm doing at the moment, but maybe the next one.

steelworker · « **Reply #468 on:** December 05, 2008, 03:45:04 PM »

Here are a few more:

The first new model to come out of the MV factory since their acquisition by HD

Pretty little Motobecane - a real gentleman's bike.

Early XR engined Buell racer (one of 5 built).

That Jota again.

Speed cycling pace bike.

That weird Norton engine (modern-looking clutch!),

Indian 4.

Moto Martin CBX.

I thought I saw a six cylinder Honda going round the track. When I found it in the paddock, it turned out to be a stunning CBX1000-engined replica, complete with beautiful 6-6 curved pipes and red/silver/yellow Honda racing livery. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a shot of it as there were too many people crowding round it!

More of the Guzzi Le Mans.

Not sure what the extra rear caliper was for - the owner wasn't about for me to ask.

Neat little rose-jointed tie to stop the carbs vibrating off the manifold rubbers!

H***l*y D*v**s*n.

And another one. The rider was caning the tits off this round the track - foot down and everything.

Close-up of the Trident.

Triumph X75 Hurricane.

And the business side.

Commando cafe racer.

Laverda 750SF.

I like the Motobecane, does that mean I'm a gentleman?

scunny · « **Reply #470 on:** December 05, 2008, 04:43:42 PM »

nice try Bob. I like that speed cycling pace bike, how did they turn those things, it looks like he's hanging onto a wheelbarrow

UnCrash · « **Reply #471 on:** December 05, 2008, 07:11:44 PM »

1968 model 910 VMTC (Velocette)
