Mel's Monster Revisited

I just came across this old Colors cover with Mel's Monster Panhead on the cover. For a few other pictures of Mel and his bike feel free to check an earlier post HERE!

Mel's Monster

These photos are for Kevin who was asking about Mel's Monster. I'll have to confirm with Lucky which month of CycleSport these pictures were in but the magazine was definitely from 1969 and the earlier post with the ripple pipe was from the same issue.

1960's Craziness!

Here are some great shots originally posted on the Selvedge Yard blog, http://theselvedgeyard.wordpress.com, and in Duke University's photo archive: http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/search/results?t=motorcycle&rows=16. I posted a couple of pictures relating to the ripple piped bike under a post called "Ripple Pipe in 1969" and the dragon-looking bike in the third shot is Mel's Monster and I have a few shots of the whole bike in a posted by that same name! Thanks Mark Anthony for the Selvedge Yard link!
