I'm most excited about the Kawi 2 stroke cafe you see in the first post! I've seen that one a few times and I'm really wanting to construct a Triple Cafe of my own!

This has been posted a couple time before, but this is the inspiration for the bike I am building, just not a BMW.

Being old and ancient Manx Nortons always made me drool. So I built one. 1974.

34 years later I'm still being inspired. Same bike. A number of changes but still the same bike.

Hoof... you da man... that's where I see myself with my Airhead... just keep tweakin' her, transforming her... fantastic stuff!

I think the Norton at the front left of this picture from the 50's has been my inspiration...

This pic get my blood pumping.. Pic of Tony's dad racing his mildly modified triumph in the early 60's.

Check out that gas tank...
The story is, after this race he started to belt himself to the frame... A little cowl hump on the seat wasnt enought to keep him on his bike ;D

 

[Hoofhearted]

That is one cool shot. Are those headlight ears on the forks? Was this a stripped down streeter? If so even more cool. Ride it and race it!! Thats what its all about. If that isn't an inspiration, check your pulse.

 

[Tim]

I especially like his choice of footwear

 

[Drewski]

I know this is a photoshop and the style isn't for everyone...

... but I love this thing!

I'd be pumped to build something like it! ;D 8)

 

[Drewski]

As you may be aware, I'm quite partial to Kawasaki's!

Ya... Triples... in-line 4's... even the odd vertical twin!! 8)
