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 … 

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.

Transportation 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. …
