Kawasaki GPZ750 Turbo.
God I lusted after this bike when it came out. The sudden rush when that turbo gets spun up must be amazing.

Leaps and Bounds!
Wow! What a month!! I got a great link from Pipeburn (GREAT site. Please please check them out) and had a nice predictable spike in traffic but an aweful lot of folks must have stuck around because there's been a pretty steady gain in traffic since then. A very sincere thank you to everyone for stopping by and welcome to all the new readers. I hope you're finding it as interesting as I find it fun!

turbine ground power unit
"In 1996 I came across a turbine ground power unit (GPU) that belonged to a NF 5 jet fighter. The same type is also used as a auxiliary power unit (APU) of a Fokker F28 . I bought it for 2000 guilders not knowing what to do with it. First I planned to put it in my Trabant P601 car but the idea was abandoned in favour of a turbine motorcycle.
A friends Militarized Ural Sidecar.
I love this sort of bike. 2 wheel drive and all he needs is a machine gun!

Phantom
"For those of you familiar with the history of the Phantom Manufacturing Company, you will be aware that Mrs. Ramsbottom, company secretary, has been in spiritual contact with the three founders, Erasmus Thump, Enoch Podsnap and Titus Bottomly for many years now. Just recently, the location of the lost key of the Phantom works was revealed to her by none other than the spirit of Erasmus Thump himself..."

Reader Submittal. How to build a Norton Cafe Racer from Beginning to End.
Here's a few start/finish pics from Jean Des Rosiers excellent build of his Cafe Norton. If you want to see how it's done you could do a lot worse that checking out his site.

Hi,
Saw your blog and the many bikes you have posted on there, especially Nortons. Please take a look at my café racer build galleries at The bike took about two years of on and off work, mainly on during winter and off during summer. The job started by fitting a belt final drive of my own design and fabrication and evolved into having an open clear area in the back of the engine by hiding everything that normally goes there.
Best regards
Jean
Really excellent stuff! Thanks Much Jean!

New Triumph Adventure Bike Spy Shots.
One will have 17's for street and one will have 21" front for dual purpose. I may have to bite the bullet and buy one of the 21" bikes. Will have a punched out version of the 675 triple for more torque.

Among them, there are a few female motorcycle officers. Metropolitan Police Female Motorcycle Officers Squad "Queen Stars" showed their motorcycle drill in Tokyo Motorcycle Show 2009"Via: Gigazine

Reader Ride! Kawasaki Zephyr 550. One of my Favorites!
I've always had a soft spot for the Kawasaki Zephyr line of bikes. A very refined version of the original Z and KZ line.

Hi, been a fan of your page for the last couple of months. Thought I'd send in a few pics of my Zephyr 550 project bike. Started out as a homely old craigslist find that I learned to ride on. Project originally intended to just be a fork rebuild and new chain then tuned out to what you see here. I had a lot fun picking everything out, but I could have never anticipated the amount of admiration this little thing gets. Keep up the good work on your page!
Thanks Zach!
The before Pic!
