KICK ASS MAN! I love the CRAZY 60's stuff.

Here’s something inspired by Star Wars:

“Part motorcycle, part four-wheeler, the Type 1 prototype was influenced by Star Wars speeder bikes, Japanese manga and Elf enclosed-motorcycle prototypes of the 1990s. Its builder, an automotive engineer, set out seven years ago to create a new automotive construct for urban areas. Drawing on a combination of digital and real-world modeling, he fabricated the result primarily using common shop tools. Powered by a 1990 Yamaha FZR 600 cc liquid-cooled, DOHC engine, fed by Mikuni carburetors (stage 3 jets), producing around 91 hp, linked to a six-speed tranny, the rear-drive Type 1's wheels are set at 60-degree angles and offers (for what it's worth) integrated side-impact protection.”

This is called the "Parasite." A Daytona Drag bike with estimated top speed of 150 mph from a JJ Post! Check out the smallest peanut tank in the world!

Latest super hero...NOS Man.

Too funny. This bike would be perfect if it also had the three-foot ape hangers.

Another crazy 60s bike. This is called Gangreen.

Another 60s bike featured in old mags.

Vern's triumph in its late 60s form with gas and oil tanks on sissybar.

This is called Mack-the-knife-pan. A show bike from 68.

This is Americade Bill, and his weird...five wheel...whatever that is. Looks like it belongs on a merry-go-round. I see a Volkswagon medalian on the front and a Buick medalian over the rear seat. What's up with that? I wonder if that Jersey plate on the front is official. Overall, that’s what I’d call fugly.

This page is one of the best yet. Where do you come up with this wack shit?

Most of this 60s stuff came off a site called Nostalgia on Wheels. It has a ton of old biker flick photos, too. Here are the links.

I’ll tell you one thing, I’ve been through a lot of other forums and we have the best weird motorcycle/wacky shit thread out there. Number 2 on Yahoo!, third from the top of page 2 on Google.

Ahh! overload....overload....my brain is overloading from the pure awsomeness of this page!!!

I’m almost certain that this bike hauler was made into a Hot Wheel…or perhaps the other way around.

Here's another angle from NoW on the bike hauler from an old 68 mag cover.

Big Daddy Roth is a legend.

I can't remember what they called this bike. It was at Daytona Bike Week, 2007.

Up until now, you had to be a member to see the photos. I changed that since we have so few members.

Who would have thought she was a biker chick? Apparantly, there was a Rat Fink movie she was in...with Jay Leno??

This is another 60's show bike called "skinny knuckle."  April 68.

Dang, what's the story behind this? ...never mind.
