Take a look at this!
Here is an Awesome seat for a RD350! I was thinking about Street Tracker for my rd build but after seeing this seat I might have changed my tune! Now I'm thinking stick with a Stock look and get a seat to add that cafe look.

Honda CB550
Sarah T from Washington rides a mid-70s Honda with an ‘Armadillo’ tank and seat from Benjie’s Café Racers. BCR is operated by Benjie Flipprboi, a former car mechanic who now creates vintage café racers out of old Japanese and British bikes. BCR builds its tanks and seats from scratch using sheet metal, and hand fabricates most of the parts on its bikes.
CONRAD LEACH
London-based painter and flat-track fan Conrad Leach uses acrylic paint to create a very distinctive, high impact look. His large-format canvases often focus on classic motorbikes—and he’s now offering limited edition works for sale, including Giclée prints of images commissioned for the 2008 Legend of the Motorcycle event in California.
HARLEY-DAVIDSON XR750
The coolest Harley of all time was unfortunately a track machine, but what a track machine it was. The XR750 is best known outside the USA as Evel Knievel’s weapon of choice, but this motorcycle is one of the best dirt track race bikes ever made. It won the AMA Grand National Championship in its first year, and it’s still winning races more than thirty years later. Milwaukee, finally, has recognised this priceless part of its heritage and created the overweight XR 1200 in homage. TheStorz SP 1200 Sportster is better, though
LAVERDA 1200
Tony Starr, a photographer from Melbourne, spotted this motorcycle in the street and squeezed off a quick shot. I’d say it’s a Laverda 1200 from 1978 or thereabouts, a big inline triple weighing almost 250kg. Tony has a real eye for color and the signature Laverda orange paint looks luscious in this shot.

Guzzi
Since 1998, Firestarter Garage has been turning out fine custom motorcycles from its workshop on Italy’s eastern Adriatic Coast. ‘Ottanta’, this delicious Guzzi 1000 SP cafe racer, caught our eye—but Firestarter boss Filippo Barbacane has just sold it for $13,000. The lucky new owner gets a bike with a reworked tank, seat, tail, front fender and exhaust system. If you like the style, check out Filippo’s other creations here
Aspes Super Sport 50
One motorcycle brand we haven’t come across before is Aspes. It was an Italian marque that operated from 1967 to 1982, using mostly Minarelli or Sachs engines for its motorbikes. The delicate styling of this Super Sport model is sublime: just check that pea-shooter silencer. Few 70s bikes would look at home in the corner of your minimalist city apartment, but this is one of them
Bultaco
When the Spanish motorcycle manufacturer Montesa withdrew from racing, disgruntled former employees formed Bultaco. The new company quickly found success in trials racing, and the Sherpa T was perhaps its most famous machine. The lightweight two-stroke was designed with help from Irish racer Sammy Miller, and rendered the traditional heavy four-strokes obsolete. The bike in the picture is a rare Model 27 ‘San Antonio’ from the Colección Hermanos Lozano in Madrid.
Honda Ct110
The Honda CT110 is a diminutive 105cc, air-cooled, single cylinder motorcycle. It’s used in Australia for postal deliveries, and renowned for its toughness. It’s also the selected transport for a bizarre 2,000 mile race across the outback, the Postie Bike Challenge. The eighth annual race starts on 3 October 2009, and it costs just AU$4950 (US$3500) to enter. This includes a late model bike to ride, three meals a day, fuel, and a one-way air ticket back to the Australian city of your choice after the race finishes. Sounds like a helluva deal to us, and it’s charitable too: after the race, the bikes are donated to the Rotary Club. [Thanks to Studio Go photographer Josh Evans for the tip and the terrific images.]
Carla and the Z50
My Friend Carl came over today to show off her skills on the Z50. WE NEED MORE GIRLS ON MINI BIKES!

$50.00 Dollar Vespa Sprint 150
What in the hell was I thinking! I ran across this ad on "CL" Sprint 150 $100.00 bucks!
so I have my buddy go by to take a look, as I was out of town. The guy on the phone tells my friend that if he can get there before noon he would sell if for $50.00 bucks! needless to say he got there before noon. Although i'm sorry to report the bike is a total loss with only two or three parts that can be reused. here is a pic of what a $50.00 Sprint 150 looks like.

Mini Bike Camping Trip
Here are the pics from my trip to Colorado to hangout with my friends Erin & Andrew.
These are pics from our camping/fishing trip in the Mountains. We took the mini bikes, purple stuff a little food and a lot of beer. We are camping around 10,000ft so the bikes and me kinda had a hard time getting around. The bikes still worked and we had a good time!
