Happy Father’s day! Thanks to all the dads who have helped us know the joys of motorcycling, or who raised the type to be into such a hobby/sport.

I’ve often found myself wishing I could sleep in bed with my motorcycle, too.

Kind of brat style? Motolady with her hair blowin’ in the wind, cruisin’.
If anyone knows the origins of this photo, please let me know so I may add credit. The lovely Cindy DuLong let me know who this lovely lass is! “That’s my friend Hanayo! She lives in Nagoya, Japan.”
I should have known this, because I’ve featured Hanayo on her motorcycle before. Check out her other pics.

The Rust Bucket Project: Phase 1

So, I bought this early 60’s BSA frame a couple months ago from a neighbor with the intent to start working on it when the Monster is done. I didn’t post about it because I knew I’d catch a whole lot of flack from people wondering why the hell my Monster has taken so long, and why I’m picking up new projects before the first is done. But let’s face it, if you’re into motorcycles and especially customizing them… you know exactly what is going on here.

It’s got a Harley rear wheel on it, a custom (crappy) hard tail job, and a fair amount of rust. Anywho, since I’ve done all I can do until this week on my Monster, I decided to take the rear wheel off this bad boy and start cleaning up the frame.

The other day I posted Angie Cooper and her Triumph T120 chopper barn find… I wanted to share this 1978 Triumph 750 Bonneville 750CC T120 that will be on display at the One Motorcycle Show this weekend here in Portland. 

Hard to pin a year and model on this bike, but the motor is a 1978 750cc T120 Bonneville, everything else is from random years or fabricated.
