Video Intermission – Look, Signal, Manoeuvre
Here’s a British safety video from 1965 which is basically “Goofus and Gallant” but with motorcycles. I love vintage footage like this, plus it’ll probably give you a chuckle because we all have a friend like “Tom’s friend”, don’t we? “He was always rushing here and there with as much speed and noise as possible.” If I learned anything from …

Someone in Loveland, Colorado is selling off a collection of 66 bikes. In their words, they’ve got “everything from vintage Vespa scooters to a Bourget nitrous chopper and lots of goodies in between.” Take a moment to guess what the asking price will be, and then click through…
Not a Motorcycle – 1935 Vincent Lawnmower
Post Listing Update: This Vincent lawnmower was pulled off of eBay as there were suspicions that it might have been stolen years ago. No sale. While Vincent was making plenty of headlines with their high performance motorcycles, they weren’t making enough dollars.
