I saw this last week at a vintage bike ride. It looked awesome in a quirky sorta way.

That tickles my fancy, looks like a CB125 but the front wheel is from a different bike.

Gday all, i went to a mates place this morning and this is what was parked across the road.....

It wasn't all original, it had a set of 34mm Mikuni's a steering damper and Akront alloy rims but it was still vintage m/cycle porn.....enjoy....

That Vincent is beautiful. My dad's told me stories of a guy he knew in the 70's, who was one of the first to put Vincent engines in Norton frames. NorVin's they called 'em. He almost died on one of 'em, long before I was conceived...fate.

very cool rr, thanks for the, uh... "entertainment."

i don't recall ever having the pleasure of seeing one in the flesh.

Wow a real vincent being actually ridden and not in a museum... gotta give that guy some respect all original or not.

i read about these years ago in some brit rag and have been fascinated since.

hesketh has been carried on by broom engineering since the original manufacturer closed doors in the early eighties.

This bike inspires me, but only because I just built it, ha!

Now to start on my 400F.

NICE!!!!

The red Norton appears to be from here, by the number plate. Tail section and pipes are stock, think its the ?roadster? model..
The CB 350 police bike, i dont think its 73 or later as it should have a front disc. Probably foreign.
The Vinnie is Verrryyy nice.
One of the coolest Vinnies I saw was in the woods one day.. 6 or 8 miles up a dirt road.. had K&Ns, carbs, and Supertraps on it...

( I just love it when guys cry about doing 1/4 mile on dirt on their baby...lol)

Saw this Guzzi at the "coffee and cars" show saturday.

And a sweet CL350 too.

Inspiration is knowing that my excitement over vintage Japanese motorcycles has rubbed off on my Harley buddies enough that they are sending me pics of old Hondas. This one is sitting on the show room floor at a HD dealer in Indianapolis.

I remember when these 1st came out. Hesketh was running an F1 team at the time. Thanks for the post ecosse, didn't know they were still being made.

Hi all, I have not been on here in a while. I got side tracked on a Goldwing build. Here are some pictures of it and some from Barber and Mid-Ohio last year.

It a 79 with a Holley single carb set up, Dyna ingition & coils, Jardine pipes with Sportster mufflers, Darkwing seat, Tomaselli bars, fake gas cap on the fake tank, 80 1100 forks, CB 750 headlight. Had a ball putting it together and riding it for a while. I ended up selling it a couple of months ago. I'm back building the 750 but I have enough for another Wing when I'm done with the CB.

Absolutely awesome...love the cardboard ET sign!

Banker and Spikey Re: 1882. The turbos boost got so high so fast it kicked in the flux capacitor and forget 1955, it shot me back to 1882. Never mind the 1.1 gigawatts, 105 octane would have been nice. It was a long walk. And,next time I'll wear my glasses

JNEUF: I have some other photos I can post shortly.
