This Is a thread for nice pics of motorcycles.



1. My 2001 XJR1300SP

 

My old boozing buddy at the TT (More than a couple of years ago)
(Almost that time of year again)

 

Can't wait to see IoM TT every year, it should be monthly.
Cam Donald is racing a Factory Norton this year.

This is ex WSS rider and 10 time Australian Superbike ans Supersport champion Kev Curtain sitting on my cafe racer at Queensland Raceway.

 

I think I was in the pits for Bill that day.
I was looking for pics from Beveridge Park our mini IoM in Scotland but the interwebs not helping much, it was lot's of fun to race there!

Here's Bob Mac from 1957.on the Gilera

 

I'm guessing the outfit pic is from early 80's going by the helmets?

I have a screen saver of 20k + pics ranging from the beginning of motorcycles until present ,every make and model I can find.

 

1985 I think.

Here's Mike Hailwood winning the FI in '78 my first visit to the island.



and Jock Taylor and Benga in '81

 

A tad more up to date, Rossi and Lorenzo a couple of weeks ago.

 

It must have been about 1976 or 77(I was 8 or 9), My Dad took me to one of his old rugby mates places to check out a race bike he was setting up for a teenager getting ready for a race at the Wanganui Cemetary Circuit.(road race in NZ that winds its way through the local cemetary)
It was the home of Ginger Molloy, and Mike Hailwood was there too(during his hiatus in NZ). The kids name was Robert,they were getting his GS750 sorted.

 

They don't make them like that anymore, riding three or four classes in a day. (Except maybe the Dunlops)

 

Dunlop, now that is a good breed.

 

Indeed, just saw that William won the first superbike race at the NW 200 yesterday, Michael won the second and the superstock and Bruce Anstey won the supersport.

 

My 2007 Ducati Supersport. Some idiot ran it over in a parking lot 3 weeks ago. It's in the shop now to decide it's fate.

 

Beware of the geezer in the Jag, he really knows how to go fast.
Circa 1981

 

Check out the home engineering on this, came across it on display in a cafe in Dorrigo,Australia



Mark Walker’s Big Ned – the Rotary Valve 3 Liter V-Twin Street Fighter from Australia

 

This geezer in the Jag has been fast on occasion,not pro like Fulton(not from lack of trying),just lack of talent. Just local club racing.
Late 80's

 

My Triumph on a recent ride.

 

Looking nice, I hope you weren't out of petrol!

I've got a featherbed commando cafe racer locked up back in Scotland but no pics unfortunately.

I was watching the Cookstown 100 last night - 2 wins for Michael D with a broken arm!
Got the Northwest downloaded for the weekend.

 

No, not out of petrol. Carry spare 5 litres on B onnie when doing distance as the tank is painfully small(12 ltr),only a 220km range.

just looked like a good photo op.

Featherbed,sweet. I had a 56 Dominator 600 back in the 80's.

You are lucky with all that road racing going to air. We only get IOM, and delayed well after results have been published in local mags.

 

I came across these on recent rides.

 

Here is couple of pics of my homebuilt Cafe Racer taken at Tamborine Mountain.
