Featured Interesting bikes you see on your travels

these were at a show a while ago

 

The Flying Millyard at last years Bournemouth DGR.
Hand built and with two cylinders from a Wasp rotary aero engine making 5 litres.
It is kick started by jumping onto a detachable lever!

 

I love that bike. The guy is a genius

 

His 8 litre Viper - engined bike was at Loomies but I missed it!

 

Wow! I bet that's good on the twisties!!

 

Not so good to move around the car park!

 

doesn't that weigh over 600kgs..!! Mind you, how heavy is a fully loaded goldwing

 

Saw this odd one today at the Prescott Bike Festival. Apparently it holds the record for the fastest motorcycle with one wheel at 94mph. Better him than me.

 

Saw this bike running the hill climb at the Prescott Bike Festival today.

 

that's a crazy ass thing. Looks fun though

 

I came across this while waiting for the ferry back from the Classic IOM TT last year. The guy who owns it had put some serious money in to this bike. It is basically a tuned RG500 engine that has been grafted in to an Aprilia RS250 frame and some really nice parts, Ohlins forks, Brembo radial calipers with Brembo master cyclinder, magnesium wheels with carbon rims - the list goes on. Anyway, it blew my mind when I clapped eyes on it although I'm not keen on the MotoGP paintwork. Regardless, it's pretty impressive.

 

very nice. Hell of a good job building that

 

Two oldies at Loomies today and a cheeky Ducati.

 

Will this be a common sight outside The Royal Oak, Hurdlow this coming August

 

A few from the 2013 Donington Park 3day Classic Festival.

 

I See @thebiglad has got his new bike, congrats mate!!

 

Just needs to spray it blue now!
Are those his kevlar reinforced joggers he once mentioned?

 

On the road outside Loomies yesterday

 

Dropped into Jacks Hill on Sunday,there was a few interesting bikes about.
Tidy Ducati
How about a 4 cylinder 2 stroke BSA

 

Lovely little Ducati ... echoes of my misspent youth!

But .....

... if that BSA frame (or what's left of it - was it really a Bantam one upon a time?) contains what I think it contains, then wowee! What an interesting piece of engineering! To me it looks like two Ariel Arrow engines nailed together to make a square four. Not only that, but they have been converted to disc valve induction.

Or are my eyes deceiving me?? Again!
