Update Request: Can the owner please contact me. A moto Morini Flattracker.

Pete Giammalvo (or anyone who may know him)  if you're reading this can you please contact me.  I received a request from someone to publish these pics of your bike and I'd like to put you in touch with him to work out any permissions.  Thanks!


Reader Pete Giammalvo sends in thise pics of what I believe to be a really cool Moto Morini flattracker. I'm also guessing that it's a 3 1/2 (or 350) model.

Thanks Much Pete!

Nifty Little BSA Tracker..

I shot this at Riding Into History Lat year. I still have a lot of great shots from that event I'm yet to post. But you can see them all in mu "links to complete albums" section up top.

Excellent Honda CB160 Racer.

This must be such a fun race class.

The Very Rare Honda ELF - ROC 500cc 2 Stroke Racebike.

Some Nice Tracker Action.

Bravo Lorenzo!

This is one of Ron Woods' projects. Matt Weidman tried to make the mile at Arizona back on 5/1 with this but missed the field. He's supposed to run it again on Saturday 10/9 and try to get it in the National again after Ron got the bugs worked out of it.
Very sweet looking machine! With the rules being 'opened up' in AMA Flat Track this year it has made for some very interesting combinations, as 12 different manufacturers and their respective models are available to race in the Grand National Expert Twins Class. Earlier this year not only did a Ducati 1098 win--at Arizona with Joe Kopp--but Bill Werner, Jay Springsteen and Bryan Smith took a Kawasaki 650 Ninja-based parallel twin to the win here at Indy and at Springfield. Jeremy Higgins put a KTM in the main at Minnesota a couple of weeks ago, and Triumph put together a nice package based on the 865 Bonneville and has made four mains this year.
Very cool stuff, and as always Steve, you have kept things on the cutting edge here man! Keep up the great work!


Awesome!  Thanks for that!



I think I posted something on this bike a long while back but I'm not positive. Really excellent build. Your eyes are not playing tricks. The front shock mount is in fact on the rear of the cylinder. Bold stuff.

Seeley Triumph Racer Oozing With Cool...

The Cooley Crosby Suzuki endurance Racer.

Old school racing cool. This is a bit of a repeat. I have an old post on this bike but it was only one side shot. These are much nicer.

Georgous Enfield Flat Tracker

Cyclone at the Salt Flats.

Matchless At Speed.

As long as we're visiting Daytona... Here's a nice XS650 Racer

By Request... The Jay Springsteen Harley Racebike

Had a request from the previous post to see more of the #9 harley in the background. I know I've posted this bike before but I don't get tired of looking at it.

By the way, the Google Search feature and the "word-cloud" really does work pretty well

Random Vintage Honda Racebike From Daytona last March

There's a lot of these I'm yet to post... at least I don't "think" I've posted this one yet...

2nd UPDATE: Suddenly Street Legal! BWM Cafe / Former Racer.

Second Update.  Thanks once again to our very knowledgeable commentators (thanks Tony) I have been informed that this is a creation of Ritmo Sereno (maybe I should try reading the decals on the bikes).  A seriously drool-worthy Japanese base builder of custom European machines.  Here is a direct link to one of the bikes below.   I can't help you with the translation but the pictures speak for themselves.

Update:  A clarification.  As was pointed out in the comments I think it's possible that this is the same bike but not really likely.  They are similar enough to make for an interesting blog entry but probably different rides.  Probably the same builder.  That or they knew (of) each other.

Now it's a racebike....

Add lights and remove the pan and now it's a Cafe... or is it the other way around.   Stunning bike(s) either way.

According To The Rumor Mill, Norton is going Racing!

...and not on a small scale either. They're talking MotoGP. Is it possible that the new Rotary has been developed to the point that it could compete in GP? Will the rules even allow for a rotary bike? If not GP can it race in WSB? This should be interesting. Turn up the volume LOUD!

Here are some vids of the new Rotax powered racebike being developed....



And of the original early 90's F1 Rotax bikes warming up.. "Filmed at Bob Mac memorial race meeting at East Fortune on 14/6/09"

Speedway!

I admit that I don't know much at all about these bikes or this class of racing.  I think it a wicked little number though. It's like featherweight Industrial Art.  Go to the end and turn left!   And it's FOR SALE!
