Random inspirational photos: Erik Andersson sliding

taken by Esso Gunnarsson.
I don't know much about this guy Erik, or the photo... but I can tell you I have had it for years and I can't stop thinking of how amazing it is.

Key bikes of inspiration: Speedway race bikes

Nitromethane burning 80 horse singles with one gear and no brakes. On dirt.
Going in cirles.
Fast.

If that isn't a recipe for awesomeness I don't know what is.
Actually...its not just the bikes... its Speedway racing in general. It just drives me crazy. Who out there doesn't want to be able to do this? Their are nights when I lie awake thinking about trying to do this. A lot.
But with my choppers.

LIGHT, FAST, SKINNY, slideable, crashable

My chopper manifesto

I do not accept the assumption that a rigid framed motorcycle cannot go fast, stop quickly, or handle well. I want my choppers to perform above the social accepted performance standard for rigid framed motorcycles; (that is to say: BAD)
These are the standards I have set before myself to achieve with said choppers:

My choppers must be able to Evade, Pursue, and allow me to survive.
My choppers must be light.
My choppers must be skinny and be able to navigate tight traffic with ease.
My choppers must go fast, accelerate hard, stop well, handle good, and do so without fusing my vertabrae.
My choppers must not scrape hard parts when leaning.
My choppers are not bar hoppers.
My choppers are not non-functioning scuplture.
My choppers must function like a real, useable vehicle.
My choppers must be a valid mode of transportation.
My choppers must not be built for other peoples enjoyment or entertainment.
My choppers must be built for me and my preferences and standards alone.
My choppers must not be fragile.
My choppers must be able to hop curbs, hit potholes, skid, wheelie, do burn outs and crash without breaking.
My choppers must be able to be ridden on all sufaces (Pavement, dirt, gravel, snow, sand, mud)
