Saw them at the mods vs rockers few weeks back. pretty snappy bikes :)

So my dood from college Scott C. started Cleveland CycleWerks a couple years ago and they are thriving from these small displacement bikes. this is one of the latest. Im going to pick one up when I put the 360t up for sale next month.

Dunno if this was up yet...

If I had a new bike, it would likely be an SV (maybe 2nd gen for EFI), but the monster tail looks great on this.  Just needs a USD fork IMHO....
I need help moving my project bike from Wisconsin to Seattle, WA.  Willing to pay well.  Contact if interested.

My Grandad; devoted petrolhead & despatch rider for the British Army during WW2.

Here he is looking mean & moody on his ride. Looks like a BSA M20?

Note the George Regina crest of King George VI on the tank.

After the war he opened an engine shop and drove a decommissioned  Willys Jeep around with the name of his business on the side. You didn't see too many of those around in Blackpool in the 40's. He was quite a character.

Really eh? That's awesome! Yea I shot all these at the VRRA race held in North Bay this year. It was the first time I've been, and hoping to turn the other 550 I have into one of the vintage race bikes. It was so awesome to see these old bike battle it out!

Thanks for the info Tintop!

I thought the pits looked different from Mosport akinz.  Maybe we'll meet up at one of next year's VRRA events.
