Stop Messin' with that Hot Rod Lincoln

Guitar Wolf Motorcycle

Seiji of Guitar Wolf has a good looking bike, is that an H2? And a matching guitar.

Epiphone guitars did an interview with him, from which the image above was culled. I dig his answer to the following question:

EPI: Good ballsy Rock and Roll! What gives you guys ideas for songs?

SEIJI: My motorbike…of course, girls, the vision of youth, outer space, the power of the universe... you know.

Ducati 60

The folks at india.com has a bit more info.

Clutch

Clutch!

Bridgestone a Go-Go

Honda Solo

I really dig the look of this thing, and its a nice starting point for some customization. I stumbled on this groovy little bike via a 2003 World Honda press release. Were they ever released in the States? Are they still made?

You were give several options in regard to tank, frame and fender/headlight color combos.

Electra Glide in Blue

Little Fauss and Big Halsy

I was going faster than I ever went in my whole life, then I fell off.

Stoppie Kiss Me

Our Motorcycling Future?

An electric supermoto, Quantya, the manufacturer also have a motocross and enduro version. Not sure if the supermoto is actually released yet or not, but if not, is coming soon.

Following info is gleaned from forum posts concerning the street legal Strada (the enduro looking version). Pricey at about 10k but awfully cool. I've read various claims to range from 25 miles to 40 or so, and at least on the Strada a governed top speed of a little over 40mph.

Torque is supposed to instantaneous and the thing is a wheelie monster.

This thing really intrigues me.

Contoured motorcycle hand grip or the like

From a US Patent issued in 1978

"Driving it is a very physical, almost sexual feeling..."

"...You accelerate fast and there is nothing between you and nature. The wind blowing in your face is a marvelous sensation. It has tremendous appeal. My new machine has a huge motor. With this under me, I feel I can do anything I want to."

From a 1970 Time Magazine article.

Desmo Harley

Very interesting. 900ss heads on a Harley motor. Sounds like the guy did some great work. Kneeslider is where I found this and their story has more info.

Trackstick II

Carry the Trackstick II around with you on your next ride and track your moto route with speed and temperature. Plug it into your Windoze PC and see your route in Google Earth. About $180. They also make a Super Trackstick with more memory and a magnetic mount, but I think it is about a 100 bucks more.

Ducati Streetfighter

Hell for Leather has a story on the soon to be released Ducati Streetfighter, using the water-cooled 1098 motor. "Yummy" is how one friend has put it, and "Not a sign of Terblanchiness anywhere". Myself, I'm not sure about the stacked radiators and clutch and brake reservoirs out there hanging in the wind.

This Bike "Trailer" Comes With Its Own Coffin

The Undertaker motorcycle trailing system uses your 2" receiver hitch and is pretty reasonably priced at a little more than 300 bucks. Looks to be a nice to have for bike breakdowns, as long as your breakdown is not a flat rear tire. The Undertaker lifts the front wheel of the bike off the ground while leaving the rear wheel to trail behind.

I'm not sure I'd want to go towing something a long distance in this manner, but getting a bike home from a breakdown this thing appears to make even the biggest bike a one person loading operation. But most of all I really dig the coffin storage container.

Pretty Nifty Bike Trailer...

...but damn they are pricey, about a grand for the single model. But if you are limited on trailer storage space, or having to pay trailer storage fees for a trailer you don't use that often, then the Bikelug collapsible trailer might be the way to go.

Jim Pomeroy

gettin' crossed-up, as we used to say.

My first motorcycle, except mine was red. Fold down handlebars were the coolest.
