Lovely pics fella, thank you! Quite a biking history you've got there

I love the Benji's cafe racer stuff; are you going with one of their kits or is that pic just inspiration? Beautiful bike

I'd love to hear what the quality's like. I might do a 750 cafe racer with their stuff one day, though a Guzzi appeals too

Mitch
 
ill let you know. i have alot of work ahead of me before i get the body done. i love the moto guzzi's
 
not a afn of polished or chrome, i looooooove flat black. this bike looks good but would be gorgeous in flat black or even a gloss black
 
If you've heard of John Britten you'll love this. If you haven't, you're about to be introduced to one of the most remarkable men and bikes ever. Sadly he died young and the world of motorcycling misses his vision and talent.

That guys a damn legend man. I remember being at daytona as a kid watching nick ienatch spank ass on that thing and then eat it in the chicane. I want to say it was like 94 or 95.
 
definately has skills. notice the big wide motocross bars on that thing? helps with control. from what i heard every motorcyclist in japan has to do a course like that to get their license.
 
It's a competition format over there Japanese Gymkhana if you want to do a search on youtube, there are a few vids including a guy doing it on a ZZR1400!

There are no words that MAP's sweary filter will allow to describe quite how outrageously gorgeous this bike is.

Not to make you jealous Mitch but my outgoing quartermaster has just been touring europe on his bike:
 
Very nice, I love doing European jaunts on the bike

My first test ride on the Speed Triple and Daytona included a chat with a lorry driver who thought my mate and I worked for a bike magazine and a chat with a nice policeman enquiring about whether we had seen two boy racers hooning along the bypass...

Holy Mother of God, there are just a few riders who achieve something beyond the ordinary, beyond the incredible and who sweep into the sunset leaving the noise of a monstrous engine barely held in check, the sound of plastic on tarmac, the smell of burnt hydrocarbons and the sound of jaws hitting the floor behind them.

To quote this month's Performance Bike slightly out of context, "It's three dimensional poetry, using dead dinosaurs as raw material."

This really is poetic.

Stoner's got skillz but he's missed the apex by over an inch!

Actually it feels crap to even jest when presented with an image like that. Need a colossal "jaw-drop" smiley.

I'd quite like to be able to do this as well (in slo-mo at the end it's incredible):
Chose McCoy as I can't find the clip of Rossi doing it in the wet (at Donny?)
