Morning Linkage (May 7)

Transportation The Friday freaky find. This was spot­ted on eBay and now it lives on pipeburn and per­haps in some­one’s garage. Is it a Norton? A Triumph? An ungod­ly mashup? Twin engine goofy­ness. You know that I love the work of Wrench Monkees. So do a lot of oth­er folks and now we’re start­ing to …

Transportation If you sim­ply *must*have a Ducati… No, no, please don’t hit me. I only find them and bring them to you. I don’t actu­al­ly cre­ate them.

It’s not all Evangelion and Gundams. Run’a did Toy Story. (It’s worth run­ning this through Google trans­late of … 

Morning Linkage (Apr 29)

Transporation A col­lec­tion of SR400 and SR500 videos. These high­ly mod­i­fi­able sin­gles are the start­ing point for tons of cus­toms in Japan.
