I’m probably late to the news room with this, but forgive me… This kind of shit is right up my alley. Axel Budde is a German stunt driver in the movie industry. Not only that, but he also fabricates all kinds of crazy rigs for in-car cameras, booms, etc… He’s talented. And in his spare time, he builds vintage Guzzis that perform like modern sport bikes. I’ve never ridden one so no reviews here, but holy hell do they look right.
Check it out on Southsiders.
Rad, right? That’s Jim Hunter in 1956. He was the third fastest bike on the salt that year… He turned just under 163mph.
Best title for a post ever, right? I have no idea where these came from or what Barbs was up to, but this is pretty epic. I mean, Barbra Streisand. On a longish bike. Wearing leather. Rad. One more (better) photo after the break.
I like the folks over at Knucklebuster. I don’t know any of them, but they I have good sense… Proved by their content and this 1930 Henderson is a prime example. Jesus age… That might be just about the most sexy motorcycle I’ve ever laid eyes on. Details here.
What were you doing in the summer of 1966? We all should have been at the Circuit De Charade. This footage is proof… I totally dig the vantage points. Sure, it’s a silent film but I can still hear the sounds. Can’t you?
