Decker Rants

I really like Jeff Decker's latest post. I'd love to think I followed similar design incentives in building my bike but maybe I just fall in the "trendy bobber" category. Hope not.

Hot Rod Girl

Lifted from my absolute favorite hot rod blog, LowTech. More & more often I'm finding myself jealous of other peoples gearhead photography. Bad Sydney bad.

Drag Bike Girl

This is lifted from the Haints, those guys are flat out trouble if you've never checked their blog out. Definitely not safe for work.

I love this photo. I love the fact that she is almost certainly someone's grandmother now.

Root Family Moto

Probably the coolest late 70's family photo in existence. Grandpa & Grandma Root with my Yamaha 80 and Flathead45's Kawasaki 125. Is Grandma wearing jeans?! Legendary "Dorko" Ford Econoline pickup in the background (some people actually WANT to drive those now-a-days...). Location Big Dig/Montesa Park.

Bonneville

One more from Bonneville

1965 Triumph Triumph Bonneville T120C

This is probably my favorite year for a "holy grail" model (T120C/TT) done in the West Coast - Johnson Motors style. It's for sale in Redmond if Flathead45 wins the lottery and cares to drop by to pick it up on his lunch hour.

Garage Company

Flathead45 called me from the Garage Company the other day. No lie, I'm a little jealous.


AMCA Bobber Giveaway

The finished AMCA giveaway bike. Just awesome. Damn fine job Ryan!

Trackmaster

Would this make a bitchin' street-tracker or what? I'm guessing the engine build isn't particularly streetable.

Trackmaster frame with 1973 Triumph 750cc 5 speed, right hand shift. Race ready and runs very strong. Set up by my good friend Mike Haney, ex-national number 91. Like new Pirelli MT53 Tires.

$6500

More Bonneville

This bike was one of the winners at SOW. Kinda cool to see it running around salty.



Looks like one of the Lowbrow boys may have set a record today.

CL Find

1959 triumph tiger - $3250 (Lubbock Texas). Sorta cool for the money maybe. Looks like a serious hodge-podge of parts. I bet it's already gone.

European Americana

Anyone else noticed lots of the absolutely coolest rods seem to have European plates? Super cool and a little sad all at the same time. They get it, why don't more people here?
