Off Topic The motorcycle thread.

I know absolutely nothing about bikes but that picture (and dog) is awesome!

 

20 minutes long...but interesting.

 

He has a good clip on his site talking about the brilliant engineering on the Brough Superior .... it's a good site fronted by a proper petrolhead.

 

That's lovely, the lump looks like a steam engine!

 

That Leno clip is ****ing awesome.

 

beast bike no more no less!!

 

I've ridden stuff (scooters and bikes) for best part of 50 years now, for a mixture of pleasure and commuting (I've always worked at least 50 miles from home for some reason...). Now, the commuting's over so I just do a bit of pleasure stuff but I've realised that I've come to like the 'spannering' as much as I like the riding, hence the BMW project bike I posted earlier. I started that about 8 years ago, had it going 4 or 5 times but each time I find something else that needs 'a bit more attention'. I'm beginning to dread finishing it.
Current thinking is I'll put a sidecar on it, just for the fun of it, one of these if I can find the dosh. Anyone got any leading links going spare...

 

Incredible machine. Jay Leno should take over presenting Top Gear! He's a really knowledgable chap.

Love the girder forks on that Indian bike.

 

One of the lads I regularly ride with has one of these - it's in red though .......... it's a Ducati, it's gotta be in red hasn't it?

 

I sure can and to a lot more as well. A couple of other guys and I dj occasionally Two of us play Northern Soul (for want of a better term) and the other guy plays reggae.

Now back to motorcycles.

 

Agree about Jay Leno, he's funny, knows his stuff and his head doesn't appear to be up his arse

This is the sort of Triumph Scrambler set up I'll be after. Looks a bit Steve McQueen.

 

Would be a good bloke to go for a beer with.

 

Wrong thread!
