Edward Hessel of Louisville, KY sends in this beautiful (and beautifully photographed) bike.
He Writes:
I am really enjoying the diversity of moto's on your site.
Please find attached a couple of my 78' 900GTS Ducati, thanks and keep up the non- conformity.
A non-conformist huh? Thanks. I like that.

Very "Unusual" Triumph Street Tracker / Fighter / Whatever?
I keep looking at this bike and wondering why I kinda sorta like it. It's a very strange mix that that has me scratching my head.

By Request... The Jay Springsteen Harley Racebike
Had a request from the previous post to see more of the #9 harley in the background. I know I've posted this bike before but I don't get tired of looking at it.
By the way, the Google Search feature and the "word-cloud" really does work pretty well

The Sinclair C5 was a battery electric vehicle invented by Sir Clive Sinclair and launched in the United Kingdom on 10 January 1985. The vehicle is a battery-assisted tricycle steered by a handlebar beneath the driver's knees. Powered operation is possible making it unnecessary for the driver to pedal. Its top speed of 15 miles per hour (24 km/h), is the fastest allowed in the UK without a driving licence. It sold for £399 plus £29 for delivery. It became an object of media and popular ridicule during 1980s Britain and was a commercial disaster, selling only around 12,000 units.
The C5's lack of seat-to-pedal adjustment, lack of gears, short pedal cranks, and that the motor overheated on long hills were serious problems; indeed the motor was essentially useless for climbing hills, with even mild gradients necessitating significant pedal assistance, which rendered the vehicle largely pointless.
