Gunga Din - '53 BSA Custom Drag Bike

Here's a pretty cool little article from 1961, from How To Hop-Up Your Engine, about a BSA custom that had show appeal with the go to back its wild appearance. I always love those drilled brakes, both for functionality and eye appeal!

Skinny Swedish Knuckles Revisted!

I'm sure everyone has seen these two Knuckleheads, built by Joakim Krantz of Sweden, but they really continue to be tops in my book for both style and simplicity and of course narrowness. The 1947 Tangerine knuckle was featured in the April 2005 issue of Ironworks and the 1941 Red knuckle was featured a year later in April 2006, same magazine! I especially love how the Amal 389 & 689 mirror image monobloc carbs are used on both machines!

Old U.S. Wartime Motorcycle Photos

I saw these original 1930's / 1940's photos up on Ebay and thought they were great!

Steve McQueen's Triumph Desert Race Bike

Here's a cool little article about one of Steve Mcqueen's desert racing Triumphs from a June 1964 Cycle World Magazine. Check out that accessory skid plate as Paul of Show & Go has posted old original ads for those!

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!

This old panhead with sidecar desert race job is pretty keen!

When You Can't Decide - Three Motors in One!

This bike is by no mean the best looking Harley custom out there but give the article a read as its interesting how a pan, knuck, and shovel all came together to create something very unique.
