Tricycle with Style!


Man, it must have been great to start your peddling days on something like this little cool tractor three wheeler. Kids don't see anything nearly this rad in stores these days which is unfortunate.

Drilled to the Max!


Check out this crazy drilled Harley KR Racer! The caption above the photo reads: "Racing - weight is essential, or lack of it. This shows the extremes to which mechanics will go to reduce weight. Holes have been drilled in every possible area of an engine (without weakening it structurally) and possibly 2 pounds have been saved. For a long time this practice was illegal; it is legal now, however." Photo comes from a 1970 Motorcycle & Trail Biking Handbook.

Bill Lindsay's "Cherry Trumpet"










There's nothing wrong with a tidy pre-unit swingarm custom like the one shown here. Function over fashion, not the reverse!

Muscle Power BMX!


I don't really know much about Muscle Power BMX as I just picked up this 8 x 10 at the swap today but figure the picture dates from the early 80's. Anybody with info on the company or the riders please feel free to post it on under the comments!

Triumph Drag Bike Circa 1962


From the pages of a 1962 Cycle Magazine comes this cool Pre-unit drag bike with nice cafe seat that appears to have run surprisingly well at the strip!

B.F. Goodrich Tire Ad from the 1940's


How rad is this old Goodrich car tire art from the 1940s, most likely during war time?

Hells Angels Painting, 1970's?


I'm not sure of the origin of this art but am guessing its most likely from an early 70's man's magazine though I could be wrong. I've seen this image used as cover art on the Hells Angels 69 DVD.

Psychomania / The Death Wheelers!


Here's a film thats just plain funny when a dead guy gets buried with his pre-unit then comes alive and rides it out of the grave. Put on your skeleton mask and start slapping that psychobilly bass as this movie gets a little bit spooky.
