Grease Monkey

I'd consider putting a pillion pad on my bike if I could adopt one of these guys.

OCD

Flathead45 sent me a rag with a great Triumph Bonneville feature story. I proceeded to obsess over the fricken steering damper knob on the TT on the cover. Guess what happened? Unpolish, unpolish, unpolish. I should be committed.



I found a video of the same TT, now I'm ready to pull the pipe baffles out of mine too... Nevermind, my neighbors already hate my bike.

Born Free

Did I mention Mike D builds cool bikes? Oh yeah, I think I may have.

A Is For...

TR6

I posted some build pix of this one previously but now it's finished. The bars work pretty well on this build. Still makes me want a set of Firestone Deluxe Champs for my bike. My back tire is wearing pretty quickly...

RIP Buell

Bummer. It's really refreshing to see a guy that cares this much about the legacy of his company though.

Damper

Polish, polish, polish.

El Mirage

Crocker Porn

Pre-Unit

I've been lusting after the Pre-Units lately. This one has the rare optional braking system developed by Dr. Frankenstein during his brief stint at the Meriden factory.

Twinline Motorcycles

Any of the Seattle Syndicate been by this place? Looks sorta cool. Might be worth a look if only for a t-shirt.

More Craig Stuff

I was digging a little more on some of the stuff I saw at Craig's today. Craig built an exact replica of Gene Romero's Trident race bike. Gene both raced and signed the replica at one of the Sandia Classic races. The bike is just killer, 1000cc (Tridents are 750's stock). Craziest thing... it's street legal. Craig's bike does not have the headlights pictured below but instead has a number plate painted over mesh. There are tiny spots hidden behind the mesh. I would love to hear the thing run. Hopped up Tridents sound absolutely wicked if you've never heard one.
