TWT: Pheathon, we hardly knew ye…

comments
These three horrible-quality photos are the only remaining evidence of my first (okay, only) roadracer, which I dubbed “Pheathon” (after the Greek demi-god Zeus was forced to strike down, because he was driving the chariot of the sun so recklessly — I assume you can make the connection). It was originally a Bultaco Pursang 250…

Steve Ducharme’s “Motorcycle Picture of the Day” has been of my favorite bike blogs for a while — a definite daily check. Unfortunately, the powers that be at Blogger (where the site was hosted) determined through some inscrutable, automated Google algorithm that this above-average-quality blog was “spam” and unceremoniously locked the door, sending hundreds, perhaps…

The upside of wearing monk’s robes and nothing else while riding a sport bike? Testicular cooling. The bad side? Sacred beetles to the crotch at 80 miles per hour. Image source: [go.funpic.hu]

Last Call- Congratulations, It's Twins! Edition

A contrast in twos, this Buell and a Bimmer both sport a different format of twin cylinder engine. They both have something else in common along with their piston count: Harley Davidson. The Buell is Harley based, and the Bimmer’s gas tank, strangely enough, is off of a Sportster.

Two Wheeled T—OOPS!

Providing motorcycle-related content on Two-Wheel Tuesday is the real reason I was knighted as a contributor here at Hooniverse. Many car-related endeavors include the token motorcycle reference, but some of them don’t bother to keep an actual motorcycle dude on staff. They certainly didn’t have a serious (or even casual) biker around at TOPPS when…

Last Call- Just Be Cossacks Edition
/
/
comments
You can really appreciate a motorcycle stunt team where the bikes and some of the riders sport handlebars. From the Seattle Cossacks’ website: Wherever the Seattle Cossacks ride, people watch and wonder in fascination, waiting for the next man to climb higher. No ropes, no props, no skyhooks, no gimmicks-they just climb. How can they…

1953-59 IFA/MZ BK350

comments
As far as engine layouts go, you can’t get much weirder than the BK350’s air-cooled two-stroke boxer twin. But when you think about it, the format makes lots of sense, at least by the somewhat twisted Eastern Block way of thinking common behind the Iron Curtain.
