everyone smokes the funny stuff.  My doctor smokes-
this guy smokes more than his share though
     To have the patience to build this dumb junk, you'd have to.


Look at him, he's high right now!
everything I say is pure speculation and
I have no idea what I'm talking about  ._.

i guess riding in the rain on an electric bike makes one a bad a$$?  ::)

as for weed whacker bike... here's how to build a multi-engine machine.

last one: maybe not the most practical but i can't stop admiring it.

That last one is an impressive engineering exercise, but I guess I just don't see what the point is. :-\


Here are a couple:

I can't remember if this has been posted before, but I love it.  I've really been getting into art deco/art nouveau design aesthetics recently, and I think this bimmer/beemer goes along quite nicely with those movements:

i've posted this before but not these pix.

love the street tracker...

as for the bmw, i'm with ya there! i have one (not like this one) posted on the frig. and i appreciate your comments on the design. something i'm trying to get in the habit of doing is commenting on my posts as to why i find it inspiring. there's interesting/noteworthy details to many of these.

Shenanigans... Do you know where the panel painted blue 750 is now? I haven't seen pics of that bike since about twenty years ago! 

Or any source information on the photo?  Thanks.  RR

It was in my photo folder and was saved pretty recently. I will try and track down where I found it or any info.

It must be some bike if you remember it from 20 years! Whats the deal with it?

I got up close to a Paul Smart replica. Such a beautifully detailed machine.
