Cafe racers [pics]

From the way-back machine,
Ducati 450 Desmo roadracer, from Harry's Motor's in Denver Colorado, Back in the day,

ummmm......wher'd that picture of teh AJS go?
I like that, very much......though i like any 500cc singles

Actually, It isn't a Triumph, rather, a Yamaha XS650 . The pipes appear to be Omar's mile pipes, and the tank appears to be either from a Yamaha XS1100 or Kawasaki KZ1000/KZ1100.

oldxs650

The "beautiful" yamaha indicators give it away, if not the cast wheels. Those bloody indicators are stil gettin garound onthe 250 viragos........there must be a junk yard full of them somewhere, or runway blokes are using them to signal planes in.

Great to see another Beemer on the track!
Here's a couple pics of my turd at JenningsGP

Been there few times....
I'm an over-the-road truck driver and only get home every 3-4 weeks, so time off is limited and track day and racing are on weekends. That limits my "bar hopping" greatly.

Again.....that AJS is sweet.
Lean, black, british, it belongs here aswell.

Here is a street version of my old SR500. It was the first of 5 or 6 that I had over the years

same bike in race trim

this was the back-up to the spoke wheeled bike.

Those links/images are all buggered up.

rtjohn's link corrected.

I would ride mine to the track. Closest that I'd ride was 120 miles each way. My favorite was 180-ish each way, so I'd add a few miles and take a scenic ride home.

AlKay191 Great picture.

My friend's Bonnie just before he sold her:

Oooooh, BABY!! :eek1

My 1960s Monkey Wards 125 cafe racer. I'm hoping to ride this in this year's California Giro. It's a provisional bike for that event but I don't have the money to buy a bike that normally qualifies. After I finish my lap round the world on my Ducati, then maybe I'll get one that qualifies. I'll post a picture of my round the world bike in the vintage thumpers section in a bit.

Holy crap. That thing is AWESOME.
