Lemay Vintage Motorcycle Festival

This looks like it might be cool.

Ran When Parked

1969 Triumph 750cc Redline Racer 

 
 

1939 BSA Goldstar

Feel free to reclaim my Brit Bike Guy super decoder ring but I'm not a huge BSA fan. Goldstars are hard not to like. This '39 is stunning. I challenge you. Is there a bike from the late 30's that's not mostly beautiful?

Mom & Pops

You just know Pops has a killer stash of Knuckle, WR, whatever hidden away back there that only the privileged few get to see.

'53 T100C

I love the 1953 Triumph T100C Big D Cycles is working on. I reminds me of the days when my '51 was being assembled in the living room...

Low Tech Art

The LowTech blog has been has been one of my favorite car blogs for about a year now, largely because of Marc's photography. He's been offer prints for a while now. Take a look at them, it well worth your time.

Pinewood Derby

V has been bugging me for almost a year to build a pinewood derby car. I'm embarrassed to say I just never made it a priority. He ended up getting involved in a race through his new school. Since I wasn't there to help Grandpa jumped in. The story as I heard it was V was so excited to get after it he started working on the body with a pocket knife at school the day he got the kit...

It's so much fun to have a  kid I can share the gearhead affliction with. No effort, he just understands it all inherently. Third place. I'm proud of you kid.

1950 BSA A10

Hurd Bird

Funny how sometimes you can have a book for years and still not notice things.

I was paging through Triumph Motorcycles - A Century of Passion and Power tonight and noticed the forks on this bike for the first time. 

Racer/Dealer Sonny Angel on his Vincent H.R.D framed, Thunderbird powered Hurd Bird. The photo was taken in 1957 outside Sonny's National City, California shop. I'd love to know where the original engine wound up.

Ewan McGregor

Ewan McGregor's Baron built bike. Featured soon in Dice magazine. I'm posting this picture mostly so I can find someday later as reference. Pretty cool. The tank and front end remind me a good bit of a certain bike in my shop.

Celebrity Triumph Riders

Ewan McGregor

Arthur Fonzarelli

Evel Knievel

Chopper

To be frank I'm generally not a huge Triumph chopper fan. This one is pretty cool though. I'm not sure I'd fly in a Pre-Unit powered aircraft that can't glide to a semi-safe landing.
