Yet another teaser photo of Mitch Sander’s beeeautiful 1966 Triumph Bonneville custom. He built this thing from the engine out himself…. it still amazes me. Now that is Garage Built.
I’ll later be doing an article on his bike… pointing out small details like the speedo placed next to the seat.

Behold the 1966 Triumph Bonneville custom hard-tail bobber owned and built by Mitch Sander. 
I got to meet this really cool cat over the weekend who found this Bonny engine and then built around it. He did it all himself, including dreaming up a GSXR front end swap. 
More photos and backstory soon to come. Photograph by yours truly.

Good morning! Wouldn’t it be nice to wake up in the morning and go speeding down the salt flats for a nice pick-me-up? I probably wouldn’t need caffeine… well let’s not take it that far.

Salt Flats 1962.

This movie popped up in my suggestions on netflix- “The Mini Skirt Mob” 1968

 They play around with murder like they play around with men. They’re hog straddling female animals on the prowl!

Some serious retro style here, MotoLady on Harley and sexy vintage car in the background. Could someone give me more background on the model of the car and bike?

A bike that suits my tastes very nicely… the 250cc 1965 Parilla Wildcat Scrambler.
This 1965 Parilla Wildcat was made specifically for the US off-road market, when Parilla was one of several small Italian motorcycle manufacturers that thrived producing small-displacement motorcycles. This one is in survivor condition, and a scrambler model not often seen any more. (From Throttle Yard)
