2 '71's, a K0 motor, lower case from sandcast #260 and a GoldWing, my inspiration. The rest of the K0 is in the garage, just waiting for a massive cash injection.

I like 'em too! They sound real nice when on the throttle.

And for those with not so deep pockets here's a Japanese Guzzi.

Shenanigans · « **Reply #286 on:** November 05, 2008, 02:27:14 pm »

The colors on those first two are really well done.

My favorite motor of all time, the triumph triple.

Ecosse · « **Reply #287 on:** November 05, 2008, 02:44:50 pm »

Love that green one; I think I've seen it before... maybe in my dreams?

Another Guzzi.

Is that a clandestine lab, and a scrap washing machine in the background? Must be Cowlitz county

Stole this pic from the July issue of Motorcycle Classics. Hope it turns out. It is called the Japanese Triton

**Edit** Picture looks real grainy, experimenting w/my scanner. Anyone know of a good res. to use on attachments? hard to find that sweet spot without going too large

The Ninja with one post may jump in here at any minute, lol.

Can't help with that scanner stuff but I have that issue and this bike is a beaut'! The guy deserves a slap on the back for such great work. Very nice.

Are you resizing it after you scan it?

Should have known you had the issue

Really is a cool bike, the custom tree, and the pipes pretty much did it for me. Not to mention the custom tail piece made from that cut-off BSA tank

Yeah, re-sized it after the original was too large to fit

Scan the magazine page at 300 dpi (full resolution) with the Descreen filter on (very important).

Then bring the image into an image editing program ~ try Picasa it's free. Then downsample the image to 72 dpi, crop, and resize. Sometimes this is called a save for web feature.
