Weird Motorcycles!

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

Did you open up Bikes and Babes in Long Ride Saloon to visitors? That might stimulate some more activity (members) than these wacky bikes.

Speaking of babes n' bikes, here's a nice looking model on an Italian '52 Gilera Bulloni 500 that looks to need a little restoration help. Very cool bike, though.

Sad, today Gilera makes Scooters! http://www.uk.gilera.com/_vti_g2_prod.asp?brand=GILERA&country=GB&language=EN

Yeah, I did awhile back. I think it helped a little bit.

This is Boss-Hoss-Rad, and some serious guy named Ted.

Smart-BMW…very creative.

Here’s how the stripes should be painted.

"The Phenom custom motorcycle was the winner of the prestigious 2005 Canadian Biker Build Off. The innovation and design that was built into this machine is staggering, from hubless wheels and outrageous stretch, to rich paint and a scary hyper motor. If the picture is to believed, this is a serious chick magnet and a possible Viagra replacement."

Viagra replacement? She certainly is. The bike? Hmmm.

"What’s 20 feet high, 60 feet wide, and symbolizes 20 years of commitment to the AMA Winter National Olympics? The answer is “Big Knobby”, a giant Dunlop motocross tire replica erected behind the starting gate at this year’s Mini Olympics at Gatorback Cycle Park in Gainesville, Fla."

Not sure, but this could be a “real” old hill climber with those chains on the rear. It was definitely seeing some mud that day.

Here's a chopper snowmobile.

Wacky trikes.

Here's making good use of surplus jettison tanks.

Here's an enormous bike with a V12 in it.

More land of big women shots.

This guy's been riding a little long...needs to take a break.

“First came the Can-am Spyder and the V-Rex Tron. Now there’s a new kid on the block in terms of high performance three wheeled motorbikes (or, if you prefer, trikes) are concerned by the name of the F3 Adrenaline and, certainly as far as we are concerned, it’s very much a case of love at first sight – the F3 Adrenaline is a beauty. Inspired design and stylistic elements in a three wheeled motorbike, the F3 Adrenaline is built around a 120 cubic inch, air cooled, V-twin counter balanced twin cam engine offering a cool 120 horsepower – and though exact specifications concerning factors such as torque and top speed are unavailable at the time of writing, we don’t doubt that the F3 Adrenaline is by no means a slouch off the blocks.”

This didn't come with a description...and I don't know how to describe it either. In fact, I can't even see how you get IN it.

That last one looks like a golf cart.

Heheeehee. Is he wearing socks?

Here's another Radial Engine Chopper---2007 Dreamcraft Gatsby 7-cylinder Radial Motorcycle, from Dreamcraft Studios

Kriedler—This deal took the land speed record in 1966...for 50cc motorcycles…140mph.

"Wendell Jones of Oakland has crafted a motorcycle powered by a Honda CX500 engine turned sideways and converted to chain drive plus the wheels were mounted single sided both front and rear. The bike has no frame, the tank is the upper frame and headstock and the rear swing arm is connected to the engine. The front end has twin fork tubes but they are both mounted on the same side."

This is called The Green Thingy. Ha!

"I call it Trikeamunga," Stojic said, primping and polishing his remarkable creation. "It came at a time when I needed something to keep my mind off of my troubles, to keep me busy. The trikeamunga is a conglomeration of two 1976 Honda CB-750 motorcycles I purchased on eBay. After a while it took on a life of its own."

This bike is not weird; but, its engine is. It’s a Honda NR750, and its V4 engine has “oval pistons." Only 200 were made in 1992.

This bike is a record-holder!

It’s called Bison2000 and its record is the largest displacement single cylinder motorcycle in the world at 2,000cc. Still have to kick it.
