Care to share a little inspiration?

Here are a couple more of mine, bearing in mind that I love pics with people on their bikes:


V-twins are special. Love the style! :) I'd love one some day. The rider is such a "part" of the bike in this pic.

Here's an old hero of mine, Yvon DuHamel, father of Mario and Miguel. A crazy French Canadian road racer that road the wickedest Kawasaki's of the 70's and early 80's, including the h1r, h2r and the Z1 Superbike pictured here. He was at the top of the racing world racing in the USA, Europe and Asia as well as his native Canada:

THAT Norton, however DOES have something special, doesn't it?!?! I think I could get pretty cranked up about something like that one. :D 8)

It's just a no-nonsense manly man bike. No froo-froo, no gimmicks, no fake patina. Proportions and stance are spot on. Great details like the low profile tank and low rise handlebar. Builder didn't succumb to popular trend and use clubmans or clip ons. Subtle yet sublime.

... and yet it doesn't have to be a Brit Twin to have those same qualities. It could even be a CB350!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: ;)
 
I had a higher rez one of this up for a while.

Good conversation starter.

Reverse cylinder RD lump in an FZR chassis with race tins. Nothing else needs to be said. Haha...
every post after this is pointless
 
I have a "motivation" folder in each one of my specific Bike folders... Here are a couple of my favorites, suitable for wallpapers, that are generic...

I don't do much with a laptop these days, so it's my phone.

It's a pic I took in Times Square with the phone a year or so ago.

Man... you guys are full of surprises. :)

Thanks for the Kawi Love Von! ;) :D

Great bikes... great inspiration. 8)
 
I'm staring at these bikes getting inspired for my XS650 rigid project, trying to sort colors out so I can get the rims and hubs done.

Wow!! Quite the list there Tim!! 8)



Here are a couple of Canadian Superbike heroes. I love the feeling I get from this. There's kind of a casual tension:

What Superbike fan doesn't know this guy! My reason for liking this pic should be obvious. Lawson tossed this bike around like no other. Just LOOK at the lean angle! Ridiculous!
