why don'twe build chops like this anymore? probably the coolest bike in the world..............ever.

shinya kimura's bevel drive 750ss ducati, stunning motorcycle from a great engineer, he's sold this one to brad pitt, what a fucking waste.

this is a chopper. accept no substitutes.

road race sporty, can't find anything out about it i'm afraid, [and yes, i spent hours looking], one of the nicest bikes i've seen for a long time, lovely.

punk rock.

neato xs650 yam with twin choke webbers, don't know what 'pincho negro' means but i know that the pocket watch on the gas cap won't last long.

xr750, from the side you don't usually see, you can still buy these engines brand new, when my lottery win comes up it's first on the list.

barse is selling his boxer, we are in 'talks' at the moment, boxer lust.

the older i get, the more tolerant i become, everyone is entitled to ride an ugly, bog- stock bike if they want but i really don't have anything in common with you, sport-bike owner or harley rider, get your hand's dirty, get the hacksaw out and make it your own or.................................................

paul smart sport classic, really like this photo, i went to mfn sunday with gordy, stu, steve and barse, it seemed really strange, i had a touch of deja-vu about the whole afternoon, don't know if it was the approaching autumn and everything starting to close down for the long winter ahead or if it was perhaps the the fact that it's time to morph and develop again, i looked around the bikes and barring the wonderful triumph metisse there wasn't a bike i would have wanted to take home, the whole experience left me a little empty, i really could not get enthusiastic about a bunch of bikes which stu remarked on 'cost more than my fucking house', i was glad to leave it behind and get to barse's for a decent brew with like minded people.

love to find a copy of this one.

ben part, [of sideburn fame] guzzi cafe racer and beautiful girl, originally used in a davida helmet advert but what a classic photo.

750ss bevel drive.

kawasaki h1r, 500cc, powerful two stroke engine built into a frame with a hinge in the middle, shit brakes and tt1oo tyres, great fun, my mate hancock who was a few years older than me had the test bike out from the old davique motique shop on boulton lane, i met him on wilsmore road on my old 250cc rd yamaha, we swapped bikes and i ripped off on the h1, the bastard frightened me to death, the steering damper was not just for show i can tell you!

ducati supersport project, i'm liking the mega's poking out the bottom of the seat unit, bet there not loud.

very smart sporty cafe-racer, lose that 'forcewinder' air filter and put a s+s 4" bellmouth on it and it would be perfect.

ducati desmodicici rr.

neil at cornerspeed working on the desmodicici rr, the gold engine cases are magnesium, every fastener on the bike is titanium, the rear wheel is a 16" with specialy made bridgestone bt016 tyre, the front is a conventional 17", the black heat guard on the top of the seat unit where the exhaust exits is made from the same material as the tiles on the space shuttle, this bike really is exotica.

desmo rr at cornerspeed, the gap between the headlights is a straight inlet tract to the airbox, ohlins gold nitrated gas forks.
