Random inspirational bikes

Couple of nice ones from the Blood Falcons blog!
http://bloodfalcons.blogspot.com/

I must say that the Flat Black XS650 fascinates me.
I dont' care for the width of the tires...and if he had a magneto he could lose that big battery box, and hide all the wiring elsewhere... but is has to be the cleanest looking, smoothest XS that I have seen that still has reasonable ergos, and looks like I could beat it within and inch of it's life that I have seen on the web.
I dont usually get in that whole "smooth" thing... but this bike has a little something else to it that makes me like it...

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once and awhile.
I found this sweet little Triumph chopper project today while doing a service call at the home of a high school classmate of mine who I haven’t talked to in ages.
It’s Ryan’s fist custom bike project, and he’s got himself a real nice start.
Right now he is running and 18 and 19 with disc brakes but unfortunately he has fallen victim to the aesthetics monster and will be switching to heavy drum brakes and a 16 and 21 instead!

DON”T DO IT RYAN! BE STRONG! STICK WITH WHAT YOU HAVE!
Light is right man…

All kidding aside, he has great ground clearance, nice working forks, mid pegs, he is carrying his oil in the backbone, and has yet to find a battery setup he likes (anybody want to sell him a nice magneto instead?)
It has the potential to be a really light, fast, great working attack chopper in no time at all!

Good luck Ryan, and let me know if I can help out!

Cool Triumph project swiped from the Zon of Neato Blog.
This one is owned by Rivet.
I don't know about the fork travel though... yikes! That would never survive in my hood.

And also a cool Speed Triple chopper also built by Orb.

Nice tight Triumph chopper.
The frame is probably a little on the low side, but it has a lot of the other core principles down pretty solid.
