An interesting start to a light Buell Blast project built by Orb Morbey at the Hog Farm in New Zealand.
And also a cool Speed Triple chopper also built by Orb.

Really nice shots that Janta took of a slick Japanese Panhead... that once again... could use some front brakes.

Key inspirational photographer
Alright fellas, you have heard me talk about MotoYan and his photos, and I have mentioned that he is amoung the many photographers out there that I respect and who inspire me photographically. (As I have told you before I am a huge photo geek.)
I realized today that I have never mentioned who any of those other photographers are!
So here is me fixing that right now.
Here are some photos that I borrowed ... (Honest Josh! I will give them back!)... from Josh Kurpius.
One of my OTHER favorite motorcycle and motorcycle culture photographers.
Josh is the bomb guys.
I know many of you have seen his work before, and this is old news, but I don't care. Josh deserves all the publicity and credit he can get.
He is out there living the life, working it and totally ruling with his camera and his VERY 70's Ironhead longbike. (And he just bought another one too!)
On top of being an outstanding photographer, he is a great blogger and really knows what to put out there to keep you reading and checking in.
Hey man... not everyone knows WHAT to photograph, can GET to what needs to be photographed, knows HOW to photograph it AND can write about it... Josh rules.
He's the whole package baby.
So this is me handing out bucketloads of respect to the man, the myth, the legend... the Kid Kurpius.
Absolutely outstanding work Sir... thanks for always putting your work out there for all of us to see for free... and inspiring me personally. We all love ya out here in internetland.
Keep it up!
Check out his site:
Joshkurpius.com
and the blog he contributes too: Kemosabe and the Lodge... good stuff people. And you gotta respect a man who takes shots with a full size pro bodied DSLR on his long bike... that ain't easy folks... trust me.

New pic, of a Knucklehead I have posted before... swiped off of the Sparetime blog.
I really dig the aesthetics of this one. very drag bike. Very cool. Still can't get into the peace symbol though. Or the lack of front brakes... still it has to stop better than a spool hub, right?

And a little dose of respect...
... I just want to throw this out there:
Roland Sands may not build bikes that I agree with every time... but the guy does not hesitate to ride his stuff hard, or to have fun with any motorcyle... which I cannot argue with.

Nice, clean light Honda CB/CL360 chopper project.
Although I like single carbs on many bikes... I would have to be sure that this one ran good enough to justify it. CB/CL 350's and 360's make fun power with 2 carbs and are not horrifically complicated. But if you take TO much of that power away just to be able to put a single carb on there... I'm not sure I would say it was worth the trade off.
It's certainly going to be easier to work on and maintain post-Apoc however!

Really nice BIG photos of a clean XS650 chopper swiped from Billdozers Flickr page.
Cool mid pegs that have been raised slightly but aren't full on Frisco peg height.
GOOD ground clearance... it's a pity about those lack of front brakes...and the rake doesn't look like it would destroy your handling... sure it's not going to be as quick as stock rake, but still... not bad at all. VERY nice build.
