Those Vinnies i have uploaded to my computer for future reference.

Lovely.

Particularly nice photo in front of the posh classic bike shop window.

And the Egli with Mikuni carbs.

Thanx.

A mix .. 

A super little KLX 250 Kawa .. Neat looking bike that .. 

One of the original GS750's .. Still a good looking bike .. 

Brace of CBX's .. That 2nd one with Brutale style stacked pipes .. 

Put the bottom bike up the other day but check that little deflector shield poking out like a tongue from the tailpipe to deflect heat away from those expensive Ohlins springs .. Class that ..

New breed Triumph but they've managed to capture the old skool look well .. The colour is stunning .. Blue bike is listed as a 500cc competition machine anyone know any more on it .. Is that the oil tank down at the front ..

Something different.  A 2018 CCM Spitfire Bobber from UK based Clews Competition Motorcycles.  The founder, Alan Clews, was a trials and scrambles rider in the 60's and bought all the available works parts from BSA when their off road competition department was disbanded in 1971, starting his own company.  Alan passed away last year, but the company is still going.

 

Other bikes they made include the R45:

 

The basic Spitfire:

And the Spitfire Café Racer:

A couple more CCM Spitfire models:

 

The Foggy edition.  No prizes for guessing who it's named after:

 

And the RAF Benevolent Fund Spitfire. £1,000.00 from each bike donated to the fund:

Another Triumph, which started out as a '69 Bonnie and turned into a quite stunning board tracker:

Mid 60's - early 70's drag racing supremo Boris Murray on his double-engine Triumph.  Two 650's bored out to 750cc.

2 things trick about this bike;

1. Gearboxes have been sawn off both engines and the bike is running a separate Big Twin box which (gulp) still runs a kickstarter. I presume the motors will be joined like Brit twin twins at the time.

2. The exhaust system. Very neat, very impressive. Sorta double take. Both exhaust ports run into the same 2:1 collector. Ditto both inlet ports.

Very trick.

Great looking and finished sprint/drag bike.

As i just put some trials bike porn in Papa Al's trials thread, i thought i'd add some here.

A very very different take on a modern trials bike using a vintage motor, and some wonderful fabrication.

French built and very nicely done.

Last pic shows it looks like a great plaything...

I owned one of these gorgeous beasts for several years. After moving to Thailand, it was just too much to maintain, and I let it go. How I miss it. It screamed like a beast in the back canyons.

When it comes to getting one's knee down, you can't beat the Italians though...

I worked one shop over from a guy who had a fairly new Harley Fat Boy.  One day he showed up on a similar Harley.  He won it in a raffle! 

 

A neighbor had an old Harley police bike.  Offered to let me ride it around the neighborhood, but I couldn't see myself handling something that heavy.  I weighed 55kg.
