Monday, April 27, 2009 I love vintage ads. When motorcycles were naked and woman were clothed. I wonder what happened to these girls? They are probably grandma's now telling the grandkids how they were once a hot Norton motorcycle model. Wait a minute... is that you Nana?
Monday, April 27, 2009 2 Comments | Scott | Saturday, April 25, 2009 This is one beautiful motorcycle. Parilla motorcycles only made motorbikes for 18 years so they are quite rare. The story goes that Parilla Motorcycles was started after a young man in Italy saw a Norton Manx and was in awe. He bought one, took it apart and measured it. Then sold it and started making his 'Parilla' bikes based on the Manx. Enough of the history lesson, let's get back to drooling...
Saturday, April 25, 2009 I was just checking out the gallery on the Sweden SR Club site. Theres some nice SR500's on there. Love this chrome tank...
Sunday, April 19, 2009 Heres a couple of Tritons that I have found around this worldwide interweb super highway. Would love to take these babies on a real highway. For those that don't know, the name TRITON comes from combining Triumph and Norton. Usually taking the best parts of each. Normally the Triumph engine and the Norton frame. But theres lots of different combos these days...
Saturday, April 18, 2009 Saw this beautiful CB350 cafe racer and got that warm and fuzzy feeling again in parts of my body I can't discuss here. I think the couple in the old CB350 ad below know that feeling as well...

Wednesday, April 15, 2009 Anyone else sick of hearing the words 'tough times', 'financial crisis' and 'credit crunch'? Well we are. Lets stop friggin talking about it all day every day and build a big bridge and ride the hell over it. Heres the perfect ghetto bike for these hard times... made from hard wood. Just be careful smoking near it....
Post a Comment | Scott | Tuesday, April 14, 2009 Another piece of motorcycle history I admired at the Deus shop was this old Indian Scout. I know it's not a cafe racer but it would have been one hell of a ride back in its day.
In the 1920's the Scout gained reputation for strength and reliability, which led to the old Indian saying: "You can't wear out an Indian Scout, or its brother the Indian Chief. They are built like rocks to take hard knocks; it's the Harleys that cause grief." Them are fightin words!
