I'm not sure if this would be allowed on the road in the UK, not quite pedestrian friendly (the one that steps in front of it unawares)

Bet Spikey likes it though. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I like the look of that old/new Triumph, Ecosse. I am a believer in large brakes though. Those don't look to be cut out for the power available.  ;)

my favorite part of that bike is the 'as cast' look of some aluminum bits. those white walls look like they came straight off of my '68 olds!

oil tank in the seat is a nice touch.

The levers are a clever design.  Anyone know if those are custom or available somewhere?

I don't know if this is one of Russ's, but Exile makes an internal throttle/reverse lever set up that is pretty hot.

the detail of that falcon bike is pure sex. and those teases have the cubes to list other bike projects minus a picture of anything but a hunk of metal.

i have a good mind not to buy one of their machines, there... i said it!  >:( ::)

don't have a link, but I saw a set on one of the S&S anniversary bikes and remember reading they were from Exile.
