A Reminder That The Summer Heat's Not All Bad! LOL!

Daytona is almost here!

Yeah I know that DMG is screwing it all up AND that some of those transporters won't even be attending this year AND that it's more expensive than ever to go vintage racing (March 1'st and 2nd by the way) AND AND AND.... but don't let that stop you. the weather should be outstanding and lord knows we all need a break.

 

  

  

 

BSA 's on the lawn t Daytona a few years back.

My kind of parking lot... Kawasaki Z Heaven!

Found this over on the excellent Streetfighters Magazine Blog. Check em out!

Motorcycle Giro... sigh...

Pictures like this make me want to call the travel agent and max out that credit card. If this doesn't get you inspired I can't help you... just kidding... sorta... LOL

The British and American "Cafe"

Triunph and Harley Cafe Racers. I'd love tobe there when these bike fire up and ride out!

2 stroke porn... TZ750 and RD400 Daytona

I realize that I have another blog for 2 stroke bikes but someties something pops up over there that just transcends the genre. This picture (for me) is one of those times. If this doesn't get your attention then... damm.. I just don't know how to help you..

Local bike nights Pics.. BMW, Yamaha..etc.. we don't have preferences.

We are an "eclectic" bunch. That my RD400 off in the background.

And yes... that's a skateboard being used as a fender. Works well actually. He stands on it to get leverage for kickstarts!

Really Sweet Flattracker Group Photo.

Stumbled across this one in a photobucket album (from a post by "goodcat8" on the ADVenture rider board) that I'm not sure I can find again. I don't know the story on this exactly but it's a hell of a nice shot. I don't know if they're originals or "tribute" bikes to Mashburn and Lawson and... errr. it looks like wilburn? Anyone know more about this shot? Thanks!

More "Kickstart Only" Club Pictures

More great shots from regular contributor Eric Stofer!

Eric Writes:

"A few shots from the annual bike swap meet in Tsawassen BC. About a dozen or so of us from the island, roaring down the highway to catch the 7am ferry to the show. Great day! Great swap meet and hundreds of bikes of all makes, original and customs. No breakdowns either! Kickstart bikes rule!"

YES they do!

Reader Rides! Kickstarters Only! My Kind of BikeNight!

Eric Stofer sends in some pics of his local ride. Great Stuff!

He Writes:

"Hey Steve
As promised, here's a sampling of a WNA (wednesday night assholes) ride. This week, a garage tour. 1969 Royal Enfield first startup after rebuild and a 1946 Velo which is running, riding and is a fresh restore (just needs a bit of tweaking). Otherwise, what you see is a typcal, after work, wed night turnout.
Bikes are: 57 TRW, 69 BSA Lightning, Various 70's Nortons, a Bonneville, a Tiger, an Indian Enfield, a 65 Norton Atlas....usually 8 to 12 bikes going for a noisy burn and a pint. Enjoy!"

A pair of Ducks!

Guzzi Lineup!

CBX and an H2 parked in front of the "Tree of Shame" at Deals Gap Resort.

The fellow who restored these bikes did an amazing job. That H2 was VERY nicely polished. Here's some closeups from my other site.
