Show Bike
I'm not much a fan of most of the original 60's Triumph show bikes, just not my taste. I tend to like even less "modern" 60's Triumph show bikes, so many are just kinda gimmicky & contrived. I don't wish this was in my garage but it certainly make me smile.
Vintagent at Goodwood
Nice coverage of Goodwood over at the Vintagent. He does all the coolest stuff. I couldn't resist reposting this picture... Isn't unsprung weight supposed to be undesirable?

Classic Cycle Spares
I have been following a handful of eBay pre unit parts listed by Classic Cycle Spares. All apparently pristine NOS parts with shockingly low starting prices. I got curious and looked for a web site. What I found might be the most astounding collection of NOS Brit parts I've ever seen. I wonder if CCS bought the haul Flathead Rob posted some time ago. I guess the original origin of the parts was a shop called Cycle Hub in Portland Oregon.
"New Parts Inventory
The parts purchased include seven 40-foot truck trailers full of new parts from Tri-Cor of Baltimore, MD and Triumph motorcycles of America (formerly known as Johnson Motors) of Los Angeles, CA. There are massive quantities of Lucas, Amal and Smiths spares as well. The trailers contain: new tanks, new fenders, new wheels, new frames, new frame parts, new motor parts."
Check out the link, there's way more than I posted here. Holy crap!

Knuckle-what?
Alright... Might need Flathead Rob or Nate's help on this one. Is it an early 45 with a Knucklehead engine? Kinda cool. So is the blue one.
Porsche
My buddy Neil sold his burly Porsche racecar in order to find something a little more street-able and civilized. I'm happy to report I found that car. Neil I'll send you the owner's contact info.

Cossacks Update
My brother Flathead Rob is a rookie on the Seattle Cossacks team this year. While in the "pledge" phase rookies ride with the team without a uniform. Rob finally got his uniform this weekend. I'm more than a little jealous my Mom happened to be there for it and I wasn't.
Never heard of the Seattle Cossacks? Take a look. Now think for a minute how many people you know that have antique motorcycles that are NEVER ridden. FYI, some guys don't just stand around arguing if the original HD factory intertubes in their Knuckleheads have period correct 1936 air in them. Pretty rad.
