Bill (ecosse) started the thread on the Honda Trackers. ANd we kinda went from there. It's one of my favorite types and I've been there a few times, so when Bill started his thread up, I just naturally joined in and here we are.
Bill, I hope you will join right in, you DO seem to dig up some fantastic finds of ALL kinds.

A great number of them over on 650motorcycles.com, and this one is no exception!

After I looked at it though, I may have posted THIS one previously. Seems like I remember conversation about the wheel/tires looking too thick because of the fact that they are both the same color and it is hard to tell where the wheel stops and the tire starts. Other than that, I think that it's a pretty sharp bike myself.

Could ya go for THIS one?

I sure could!

How'd ya like to b looking at those pipes, from that position?

This one has had a bit of "Updating" done to it.

Thanks for sharing those, Bill.

I think some of them would look mighty fine over in the Inspiration Gallery too.

I've really been digging all these cool trackers that have been posted but I have a question. What makes these bikes "Flat Trackers"? I know that it comes from a form of racing, mostly on dirt, in which riders typically lean their bikes way over and put their foot down as they round corners. Sound right? Well, what is different about these bikes? Or is it just that they happen to be used for Flat Track racing?

Can't wait to see some more bikes!

'88, are you asking the difference between Flat and Dirt Track racers? Dunno, I'm new to this myself!

Bill, let's see if we can swamp the forum with 'Tracker posts, swaying the local community will to our whims by sheer numbers until it saturates the larger masses, thus creating a new trend surpassing the Cafe craze!

Where's Carpy?!

OK, I'm officially jeeked out on Pierce Brother's coffee. Local boys who make damn fine stuff!

The Fog Buster is so good that if they made it illegal I'd sell my mother's TV set just to buy some off of some guy on the corner.

Ugh... my stomach is startin' ta hurt.

...back to th' bikes.

edit: sorry for the poor quality/smallish photos.

Bill, I kinda figured that you'd kick in on this one.

We'll just see what we can do about posting some "Tracker Inspiration"

First though, here's a different kind of Tracker and I'm just posting it to show that there is a Different kind of Tracker Bike that is surfacing.

And it is called an "American Board Tracker" http://www.american-board-trackers.com/

I'll Be Back!

Would you believe that that basic style front end was originated on the OLD Indians?

Sure enough.

I did a drawing for an art project. Really nothing special as I literally cranked this out because the flighty prof. shot down another idea.

Ecosse · « **Reply #12 on:** October 23, 2008, 11:08:59 AM »

some more...

Ecosse · « **Reply #13 on:** October 23, 2008, 11:13:34 AM »

I actually took this photo.

Ah but as usual the best board trackers were English :-)
This Temple Anzani was the monster that held the Brooklands record for a while. Just think about the price of copper nowadays!

That is absolutely, outstandingly, stunningly awesome

Sporkfly · « **Reply #17 on:** October 23, 2008, 02:33:46 PM »

Yeah?

I had actually considered a flat track inspired build for my 550, and seeing that copper one makes me think "maybe..."!

Edit: Looking at flat track stuff on ebay. Guys, you may have given me the drive to go ahead with a flat tracker look for my build.

Ecosse · « **Reply #18 on:** October 23, 2008, 03:00:17 PM »

That black and yellow HD is beautiful! So is the copper Limey.

I'd like to see pix duster'... not buying but still like to see a survivor.

Ecosse · « **Reply #19 on:** October 23, 2008, 03:02:53 PM »

Anyone have info on this... Brit?

bill440cars · « **Reply #20 on:** October 23, 2008, 06:15:43 PM »

Bill, I checked the phot and looked like it said "ACE" and, I thought I remembered an ACE motorcycle that was built years ago and checked up on it. Sure enough they did build it in Philadelphia. Here is one link to the Ace Motorcycle, but not the one you posted.

hey duster, I'd like to see some pictures also. Seeing as I've got some (don't let Tim/kghost hear me say this) SL350 material myself.

Sporkfly · « **Reply #22 on:** October 23, 2008, 06:43:45 PM »

Wow, those Ace motorcycles are... Well... Ace! Pretty darn cool, browsing various pictures and such now.

Neat.

The sound of that second bike really got me too. Very unique, excellent sound. I wish they hadn't put the music in there after they were fired up. Great bikes though.

(Also: he should have been wearing his helmet!)
