OK, like the 'teens to WWII thread, this is for vintage bikes post-WWII to 1970's USA, British, German, Italian or other European manufacturers. If a moderator believes something in here belongs elsewhere, please make the placement, and inform me where I can find the thread, thanks.

An unusual bike, I think it's a Ford V8-60. A later build instead of a 1960's build, given the disc brakes, I believe. With that-much weight, I would want more-than a 5.10 90 series tire providing some rear suspension, as it appears to be a hardtail.

The next bike was done by an acquaintance of mine, a Florida dealership mechanic for Triumph when they were still in Meriden.

Daytona Bike Week 2023

Check out the flipped cyl head, the hardtail, the knobby tires, small gas tank, and huge rear sprocket. Looks like it would give a good accounting of itself at a hillclimb.
