Re: European lightweights

Hey if you wanna see some of these rad bikes in person and aare near Monterey, you should check out Baja Cantina!

The "Favor" motorbike pictured in this thread is there along with a lot of cool vintage racing motorcycles like a Ducati 60's GP bike. :)





Pictures do absolutely no justice!

GO THERE!

Re: European lightweights

Nice. Where, and I may regret asking, is the armpit of the murder mitten?

Re: European lightweights

I'm getting the hang of hunting the pics down, plus I think there are more people getting to grips with the Internerd to share their interests and information.

All I need now is to find rich women who go wild for old men with bad knees.
