Dirt

I'm fairly sure I posted pictures of this Atom Bomb Customs bike before. Some guys are just in a completely different league.


'52 Speed Twin 5T

Gaffe from JJ in Sweden just picked this bike up. Damn it's cool. Triumph Motorcycle History in America is loaded with bikes that look just like this. This bike would look perfect sitting right between my two...

37 ULH

From Matt Olsen's blog. This picture is cool enough I thought I might want to be able to find it again someday.

Motorado

I've heard rumblings about this show for a while now but have never been able to get any specifics. I finally saw a flyer today. It looks pretty cool.



I had pretty much decided on a June date for the show I'm trying to get off the ground. I'm now thinking I shouldn't schedule it so close to this show.

Ducati Desmosedici RR

I saw one of these at Coffee this morning, pretty wild. It belongs to Antoine Predock. I've seen his 1990 Honda RC30 there before too. I've heard Antoine's vintage motorcycle collection is equally amazing.



Tom the Lurker recounted recently that Antoine has old motorcycles peppered all through his office and non-motorcycle enthusiast his staff just have to work their way around them. It wouldn't bother me too much




Today was the largest motorcycle gathering I've ever seen at Coffee. Unfortunately there weren't all that many old bikes. Emma made it up and back without issue.

45

If I ever own a BT flatty odds are it will look damn near identical to this bike.

Keith Moore

No exaggeration, I was seriously saddened to hear about Keith Moore's passing today. As I understand it he died of an apparent heart attack in his shop at about 11:00 AM this morning.



Over the last several years I have purchased Triumph parts from LOTS of different sources. With the '51 I had comfortably settled into Moore's Cycle Center for every part I could possibly source through him. Keith always answered the phone himself. He only gave me precisely the "required" amount of crap when I asked 100 stupid questions and gave me tons of priceless advice too. Most importantly I could truly tell he wanted my business and cared about treating his customers right (despite my countless stupid weekly $15 orders). I had vowed if I ever made it to SoCal again meeting him face to face was a top priority.




Damn. I'm gonna miss you buddy.
