These are always entertaining. I don't care if the mechanic spread additional mud to harden, prior to the start of filming, on the bike. The process is fun to watch.

Check-out this Pontiac, two adjoining cylinders of a 389 V8. And from the belt-drive end: Like the Tempest once used a 4-cyl engine which was one cyl bank of the 389 c.i. Pontiac, this is two adjoining cylinders of that Tempest. It has Hillborn fuel injection and a GMC 2-71 supercharger...

https://www.daniabeachvintagebikeshow.com/ This is a good one, You will see bikes you won't often see anywhere else, unless it's a bike you saw here. Also, FREE admission for the public. There is a swap meet too. I usually find something to buy. Parts usually. The location is a few minutes...

It's 72cc! It revs to 7400 rpm in the video, seems like the right cyl bank has two pistons/cylinders not doing their duty, according to the heat signature. I wonder what the left bank's heat signature looks like? Get all the cylinders displaying comparable heat signatures, and I bet the...

Terlingua Racing was a Carrol Shelby creation. Along with his chili. I suspect our Canadian members will get a kick out of the beaver-badge.

Who wins? Maybe it's the Red Bull one. The Ford SuperVan is the one I'd want to commute in.

Pretty entertaining. A power washer, electrolytic baths, side grinder/polisher, home-made vibrating media sander/polisher, and elbow grease, lots of elbow grease...

His vision, unique in execution, and sure to get comments. You may have seen the youtube thread on the build, that's where I saw this start awhile ago. He's done. The article: Unless you’re living under a rock, you’d know customization is integral in the cruiser motorcycle culture...

Check out this pair of beauties. Expected to sell for $70K-plus! Selling as a pair, not separate. The 400 has 156 miles and the OWO1 has just-over 2000 miles. The FZR 400 The FZR-R 750 OWO1, their Superbike homologation special. A pic of one from another resource. It cost > the FZR 1000...

Not VMaxes, though I can think of one which might be included. Random pics of junkyard bikes. A Honda 400/4 with one of the sexiest OEM exhausts ever. Looks like a front-end hit, and case damage to the left side. Heck, looks almost usable! I am interested in seeing what the mileage is when...

You used to be able to get a vehicle registered in VT easily, if you lacked paperwork to get it registered in your state. That has now ended...

Russia was a big market for them, but with sanctions against trade with Russia by the West, Yamaha is quitting snowmobiles to focus on other markets with growth potential. Check out the link...

I saw this advertised for sale. A very extreme example of a chopper, but can you imagine trying to ride this thing to a place where they sell/service choppers? They'd probably give you a wedgie or worse, and kick it out of the parking lot. No suspension I see in that front-end, other than...

Pic from one of the magazine tests on the VMax.

Somebody's gotta do it. And it's easy to spot your board. Here's a picture of Mrs. Solei Saarinen from the other direction. In 1972 Jarno Saarinen was World Champion in the 250cc class on a Yamaha, and was second to Agostini (MV Agusta) in the 350 class, again on a Yamaha. At the Pesaro Italy...

Content courtesy of research by Paul d'Orléans Want to go fast, really-fast? In Germany in 1955, after coming in 3rd in the 350cc World Championship, DKW used what they had learned to make a new variant on their World GP roadracer. It developed 46 HP at 9700 rpm, and was capable of over 140...

Did you know he has a vintage motorcycle of extreme rarity, with a canoe attached? You have to see things for yourself. Hint: the motorcycle brand in-question was favored by a famous person, a scholar of Medieval architecture until the day he died. The title of his thesis when he attended (and...
