		<description><![CDATA[Transportation
You&#8217;ve seen the pictures of the hacked together ones but here&#8217;s the real deal. Motorcycle side-car based camera mount. The fabrication quality blows me away. Based on a 6 cylinder 1500cc what? Seats 4.
Sexy enough to make me consider a electric car. Almost. Or I could buy one and put a real engine in it. [...]]]></description>

Plywood paddler for the junior set. Funny how much the logo looks like Harley Davidson from a distance. Cute though.
1923 BMW factory floor. Lots more vintage in the Vintage Motorbikes Flickr pool but beware of bad captions, and wild ass guesses as to makes and models.
Scroll down once for hot girl in short skirt on [...]]]></description>

I love the tail treatment on this Triumph. Such a sweet, round butt.
The post title says it all &#8220;Enjoy Some Gratuitous Classic Lotus Porn.&#8221; Pics from the Lotus archives. (SFW)
A bad jump start once cost me a ECU/BCU pair for a Mercedes. If the surge suppressor in these smart jumper cables works I&#8217;d be willing [...]]]></description>

Low rent transformer of now neglected, beloved city mascot. This robot built of soviet era car parts stands outside of Odessa.
Lovely. Thruxton based.
Some background on the engine design of the IoM Norton I showed you a week or so ago. The squish combustion chamber was the idea of a janitor? Not really. Leo Kusmicki&#8217;s story [...]]]></description>

Purple Helmets, the Isle of Man TT half-time stunt team. Very British
- in a Benny Hill, wellies and slickers, kinda way. (Sound)
Wrench Monkees begin building a bitsa. Where did that purple frame
come from? Updates as they happen.
Desmo double front-wheel trike. Very bizarre and headline writers take
note, no way in hell is this an ATV. More [...]]]></description>

This is so damned close to a trials bike, an underpowered trials bike. The wheel size difference is odd. But what the heck. There are girls pictured. FX-Mountain Moto.
Google earth now has pictures of Pima and the airplane boneyard.
Bamboo pedal bike frames. Wicked cool material science and engineering. (Thanks M2)

The F1 safety car. M-B SLS AMG. My very favorite alphabet soup car. The rear lighting is particularly stylish.
Vintagent provides another fascinating story from yesteryear. A 1967 &#8220;production&#8221; bike class at the Isle of Man TT led to the creation of a special Velocette Thruxton. Tales of it&#8217;s successes and failures.
Loverly. In-car and side-of-the-road video [...]]]></description>

Nimbus, a Danish motorcycle designed by a vacuum cleaner mogul. The
strap steel frame is unique and a lot prettier than you&#8217;d think.
Here&#8217;s a nicely restored example by Soren.
Chumming the waters. Two sets of numbers comparing the current batch
big dual-purpose tourers. Let the debates begin, erm continue. One
organized by bike, one organized by feature.
LED headlight trim [...]]]></description>

Three wheels. The DOT calls it a motorcycle. The manufacturer calls a T-Rex. I call it covetable.
I don&#8217;t know what it means for the stereotypical &#8216;here comes the bad guys&#8217; cues in movie sound tracks but for people living under the traffic copter pattern it means quieter commute times. Eurocopter introduces the Blue Edge rotor [...]]]></description>

This is the cutest scooter. Ever. Red and yellow, and it has tail fins
- and a rudder.
The Ghezzi-Brian website is pretty broken and this particular Furia
version of the V11 seems to have disappeared from it&#8217;s galleries.
S&#8217;okay this black version shown at TopSpeed looks better than the red
one on G-B&#8217;s sites.
I know that a number of [...]]]></description>
