You know I love old advertising materials, so chec You know I love old advertising materials, so check out this “Motorcycle Line-Up” brochure from Honda Japan in 1993! I took a few shots to show the whole thing and then had to share a few close-ups from some of my personal favorites.

If I could only pick one to keep, it’d probably be the Monkey Baja (I know, I have a problem). What would you choose (and you can’t say the NSR250, that’s cheating)?

Right before @cest_la_vyvy and I left Vegas, we st Right before @cest_la_vyvy and I left Vegas, we stopped to get some pan roast (of course). In the parking lot I encountered a car I’ve never seen before, so I took some photos to look it up later. Turns out it’s a Chevrolet Opala - the first passenger car built by GM in Brazil. 

Incredibly, it’s being driven by a father/son duo that’s gone from the tip of South America up to Alaska, then come back down to the continental US. We spotted them in the midst of a run on Route 66 from Oklahoma to Los Angeles, and it looks like they’re now about to head to New York! Check them out: @opala_na_estrada

They’ve gone through 15 countries and covered over 25k miles so far. I’m very jealous!

One of the coolest things about my trip this weeke One of the coolest things about my trip this weekend was getting to meet @sinistar20b and see some of his awesome vehicles. I specifically met up with him to pick up the Bimota Tesi he sold with us on the @iconicmotorbikes auction site - obviously I’m obsessed with those bikes but I was stunned to find that he had something that was even more interesting to me: a Norton F1!

These pack the 588cc liquid-cooled twin-rotor Wankel rotary engines: 95 hp and 60 lb-ft of torque. After he bought it a few years ago he sent it to England to have it rebuilt by one of the original designers and he’s put 4-5k miles on it since. It is such a cool bike and I’m excited to see that he’s riding it and not just displaying it.

I was also shocked to see a ton of Yamaha parts on it (including the 5-speed transmission from a FZR1000) - it almost looks like a FZR400 in the cockpit view!

@hoylemoto - this one’s for you...

Caught this awesome ‘60s Dodge pickup truck in Veg Caught this awesome ‘60s Dodge pickup truck in Vegas before @cest_la_vyvy and I headed back to LA - it had a Ford F-Series King Ranch interior swap and presumably a drivetrain swap from the same!

I used to have a 1966 Dodge D200 stepside with a slant six that I traded a laptop for back in undergrad (long story) so I have a soft spot for these trucks…swipe to the end to see a couple of bonus photos of my old baby.

Had dinner at Hell’s Kitchen thanks to @vicbranstetter and now it’s time to bring this bike 350+ miles back home to @iconicmotorbikes! 

I think my Tesi 3D needs white wheels like this 1D has…

After @iconicmotorbikes hooked up the shop Honda M After @iconicmotorbikes hooked up the shop Honda Motocompacto with the @chimeraengineering fatty rear wheel kit I’ve been looking for other ways to make this cool pit bike stand out: turns out our buddies at @steadygarage sell a conversion kit to make the headlight actually noticeable.

I already had a Baja Designs S1 laying around thanks to Cory so I ordered the housing and it’s just arrived. Haven’t had a chance to install it yet but I still wanted to share a quick preview, check it out!

Will try to get this installed soon and then it’ll be time for a comparison video...

Of course, I had to check out some of the cool bikes that were parked (for free) at the airport!

Props to the Multistrada with the @aerostich Roadcrafter on it, the Z400 with the…interesting sticker on it, and the new @indianmotorcycle that I assume an industry buddy was riding as it’s got a manufacturer plate. Per usual, most of the bikes there were BMWs - it was cool to see a R1100GS in the wild and as shown in the last photo, it had some healthy mileage. 

Hoping that the message on the Kryptonite lock wasn’t a taunt, though…
