Cars and bikes I’ve come across in my travels

[motoddrob]

It did have a fairing until the younger brother crashed it not long after the misses brought it new. We been together 23 years and and it like that when I met her. Been languishing in the house for the last 15 years she has been in Oz. Original fuel, some air in the tyres and it started right up.

Probably looking down to press the 4 wheel drive button..

These are cool, been cruising around the rice paddies on it for something to do to relieve the boredom. Too fucken hot to do much else.
Village life isn't too exciting, for me anyway.
Going on a long road trip next weekend to the north west of Thailand, the relief of an aircond car.

These are becoming popular, Chinese shit, I refuse to ride it.
Fuck the chinese authorities

This was at our Local Beer Festival that I help run. The lass with the blue hair is the "sidecar monkey" brave lass, the outfit is very quick, beats many modern outfits.

There's a Norton powered outfit here which is one of the quickest classics. Got talking to the owner and he proudly showed me a part machined set of billet cases. He's made quite a few sets now. Having myself built several Norton twins i just smiled and asked 'How much" Around $5000NZ a set depending on your requirements.
I built a good engine and a spare from 3 broken 600 Yamahas about 6 years ago now. The outfit is well known here - Pinky. Has IOM history - it's actually ex Dave Molyneux and raced by a pair of young women at the time. FWIW Maria Costello had broken the good engine severely. Anyway they got their engines and I heard back about their test at Taupo. 1 second a lap better than ever before. i got 2 emails, one from each of them saying thanks. I replied saying it had always been an ambition to satisfy two women at the same time.....

Hey Hooksie. i'm in the NE corner spitting distance from the Mekong, Sticky Rice bowl of Thailand. Heading to Chiang Mai this w/e, have an appointment with my Dentice there. Hang out with an old Californian riding mate who lives in Lampang. https://www.motolanna.com/
Will have to do a visa run so Mai Sai into burma is the most convenient. That's sort of the plan.

Nice one Rob, Cheers for that link mate. He's got some good lookin gear there! Will be back for a closer look and grab some goodies for my old chook chasers.

Chatted with this French couple today, they rode their bike to India and back, now are in Ireland and will be taking it to South America next year. And it’s a Honda, not a GS!

The map appears to be a statement of intent and their planned route.

Eclectic mix at our lunchtime meet today. Quiz for today. What model is the Guzzi ? Answer later.

 

[The Sock]

Looks like a GTS, to me.

1938 250 PE.

And there I was staring at the pictures looking for a yellow 1983 Suzuki dirt bike….

Read it properly second time around

 

[GregT]

The family 250 Airone is 1949 and pretty much identical to that except for "upside down" tele forks. With gease nipples even - I suspect it's grease damped.
The little MV is nice. there's a 125 looks like that local to me.

 

[Dellortoman]

Maybe an Egretta (250cc I think) from about 1935 or 1936.

 

[Charley]

Shabby chic, 2CV spotted in Bremerhaven Germany.
If you're going to have a CV then IMHO there are only two conditions to chose from.
This would be my choice.

 

[Gerald]

Probably the biggest rear view mirrors ever seen on a Deux Chevaux!
