Nifty fightered sporty.
A bit flashy, and I REALLY wish there wasn't a battery hanging off the side, but still... could be worse.

Cool Knuckle swiped from the Cycle Zombies blog.
I believe it was made by or is owned by a Alex Trabattoni.

Anyway, cool stuff.
LIGHT, SKINNY, FAST, GROUND CLEARANCE, HANDLES GOOD, high mids, high pipes, magneto, no battery

I have posted pics of this one before, but this is a new pic that I have already forgotten where I found....

I don't know what is going on with that front end, and I need some brakes, and higher bars...and real tires, with a wider contact patch than that skinny 21... but dual carbs, magneto, no battery, high pipes, high mid pegs... the works man.
Good stuff.
(It's from Japan of course.)

Interesting Knuckle from Japan.
I would like to know how much this one weighs, looks like it has a starter, and that huge four leading shoe drum brake in front can't be too light.
Still, interesting... dig the dual carbs!

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! Rigid adventure awesomeness!

Ok, so big thanks to Jay for pointing out my glaring oversight on this one, (I am only human, and a human with limited time and a family too, so please forgive me!)

But, this is outstanding and I wanted to make sure you all saw this:

So Shawn Britton rode this bike that I mistakenly called a CM400 in a earlier post (Which is actually a CB450) about 10,000 miles in three weeks across the US.

Adventuring on a rigid baby... and a cheap, mega lightweight one too.

Just read this Chop Cult interview. It speaks for itself...

Need I say more?

Random Inspirational bikes: Readers bikes!

Well, folks I got a great letter from a reader who I have been cyber stalking on the QCB blog for some time. Matt Tobias has a sweet little swingarm Evo sporty that I just love, but I never got around to posting pics!
Well, he sent me an email (just like you guys should too!) and had this to say:

"Hey Bird! I dig the shit out of your philosophy man. Thats how I build my bikes. This sporty has been through many, many incarnations. This is the latest. I went from rigid back to swingarm to gain more ground clearance! I handmade pretty much everything on the bike. The frame is 3"up, 3" out, and the swingarm is lengthened 1 3/8".
I like them skinny, fast, and able to jump a curb or two! Next one will be a nice hopped up EVO big twin with a kick only 5 speed with a mag. Can't wait!
Thanks for keeping up the Attack Choppers Blog.
Matt T."

Excellent work Matt! I dig it, and I know your fellow Attack chopper builders will too!
Send in those pics guys!
Or just drop me a line! I love to hear from you guys!

when I posted this yesterday morning I was a zombie. It was about 4 am and I had to leave for work 45 miles away in a hurry... so I forgot the links to the other stuff I should have put in this post! MY BAD!
Check out the Chop Cult article on Matt's sweet ride, and the build thread, GREAT STUFF! (And check out this close up of Matts sweet MC cap and saftey wiring job!)
