Looking at this bike one could do a monoshock on a stock wheel base machine, if you were to relocate the battery to the tail section and build a custom oil tank to go around the shock.

Or, you could use a shock from a Buell and sling it under the bike.

No matter how fast or how far I rode, I couldn't leave her memory behind.

where to begin...?

mjl, i just threw up a little bit looking at those "motorcycles"  :-[ :D
industrial' call me a nut but i would spend money, otherwise more wisely spent on the homeless (animals), on that racer model. i'll never own the real deal- nor deserve to.  ;D
beans, the 2 italian bikes are aesthetically flawless imo, there's a company who (supposedly) makes the aermacchi there and is pretty cool, and the yamaha, yellow norton, and falcon bob are sweet.

oh, I'm not saying that model is worth the money, 800 bucks is ridiculous, I'd pay maybe $50 for it...
I just want one for christmas.

i wonder what the photographer did to make those bikes look like toys.


lighting and focus sure, but what lens?

its also the angle he shot at. He is way above the bike. How you would be looking at a model. Not the typical angle your used to.

You've got to smile when you see something like that. But the balls to even drive that down the street.
