Here’s JR’s first post – and it comes with bonus information on cigars!
1969 Honda CB750 Hill Climber
For a variety of reasons, the Honda CB750 is a popular base for customs – though I don’t see many hillclimbers based on the CB. Here’s one that was apparently turned into a racer right off the showroom floor.
1942 Excelsior Villiers Welbike
Post-Listing Update: This Welbike got no action at the opening bid of $11,000. At the request of the British government, Excelsior developed the Welbike, a tiny single seater that was designed to be dropped into combat situations via parachute-equipped containers, then unpacked and moving on the road within 11 seconds.
SYSK – Ye Olde Cycle Shoppe
Here’s SYSK (Shop You Should Know), a series where I tell you about a motorcycle-related store that riders should know more about. For example, here’s my last SYSK – Northeast Sportscar out in Brooklyn, New York. Today we’re going to look at a passion project that has turned into the largest online library of vintage motorcycle road tests – Ye …
Needs Some Work – 1970 Hercules K125BW
BW stands for Bundeswehr, or Germany’s armed forces, so you can probably guess what this Hercules was designed for!
BSA Style From Japan – 1966 Kawasaki W1
In 1960 Kawasaki Aircraft acquired part of the largest motorcycle manufacturer in Japan, Meguro. Meguro had a license to produce the BSA A7 and Kawasaki’s money allowed them to introduce it to the world. In 1963 Kawasaki completed the takeover of Meguro and by 1966 had brought out the W1.

View PostVideo Intermission – Why Punch The Helmet?
This weekend was the opening of this year’s Monster Energy Supercross season, and the racing in Angel Stadium in Anaheim yielded one of the weirder highlights you’ll probably see from the SX season. I’m not going to cast any judgment about what brought about why punches were thrown – but why punch the lid?
1967 BSA Hornet
Built from 1964 through 1967 the Hornet was marketed as ready to ride in the dirt. It came in 2 variants, the ‘East Coast Model’ with high pipes and the ‘West Coast Model’ with low mounted pipes.
Tall Trike – 1960 Harley-Davidson Servicar Custom
Post Sale Update: After 37 bids on eBay, this Servicar custom sold for $20,400. Based on a HD Servicar, this custom was built ‘in the style of Ed Roth’s trike body’.
1937 DKW RT100
Just another rare bike from a once large manufacturer? No particular significance? Not exactly.
