Indian Chief. Old School Cool.

Nice touch..

Norton 850 Commando.

Another beauty just lounging around the infield at Daytona.

Simply Spectacular Suzuki GT550.

Thomas Leeming from Montana recently sent me this excellent Suzuki GT550 cafe racer / former racebike. I told him that I've always been a Yamaha RD400 and Kawasaki Triple fan but this Suzuki could definately sway me. Jush gorgeous.

Thomas Writes:
Thanks for the great web site. I recently completed this 1975 Suzuki GT550 cafe. Pipes by Omar's. Electronic ignition. Battery, oil tank and electrics are hidden under the seat cowl. The older photo is from 1974 at Louden NH when I roadraced a GT550.

Thanks Very Much for the pics Thomas. Very Much Appreciated!

The same bike back in the day...

More Guzzi PrOn..

Another stunning Guzzi...maybe I'm an addict? I don't know. Maybe I should check with Tiger Woods.

Yamaha SR Madness!

Maybe the best racing conversation EVER!

If you're a long time fanatic of motorcycle racing or you're just curious and thinking of "dipping your toe" for the first ime and maybe watching a few races this year, do yourself a favor and watch the three videos of a conversation between an all-time american racing legend and what's likely to be a future one.  Eddy Lawson and Ben Spies.

Even if you don't care for racing these video's can teach you a bit about, the nature of sacrafice and motivation and what it takes to win.

Update: a few more. Reader Ride(s)! A nice stable of Triumphs!

Will Hildreth has sent me some great pics of his Triumph stable. I have had a soft spot for the early T-Bird Sport for ages. I rode a first generation Speed triple for years but I had a hard time making the choice when it was parked next to one of these. The aftermarket 3 into 3 pipe is just the BOMB! Buddy of mine had one that's on the blog already. I'll post a link shortly.

Here's a few more he just sent me.  Beautiful!

Oh and here's the rest of his rides. You've got great taste Will.

A new generation T-Bird
