I am developing a theory that green bikes are always challenging. Take for example this ‘83 R80ST bobber. It is fascinating; in a train wreck of a gas tank sort of way. Points for bravery though.
This Tiger 100 featured at Quail is the definition of collectible. A one-off produced in 1940 for Rody Rodenburg. Never restored and documented all ways to hell. This one should be parked in the living room.
Another bike seen at Quail. The Mule Motorcycles “Streetmaster” a Bonneville based street tracker. Build details and plans for a limited production run. 70+ hp in 300 pounds. Oh my,
