Odd-Ball Picture of the Day

This is an awesome thread...

 

What is this sorcery? LOL, sneaky witch.

 

A few more. Top 3 courtesy of StanTheMan who is in fact... the man. Gave me a shit ton of awesome posters. Paid it forward to some others for a few, saved a few for when I have a bigger space... all done. Of course I had to give a spot to Mr. Hayes...

 

Is that a picture of "Yer Mahn" Joey Dunlop?

 

#3? It's signed by John McGuinnes, so probably not Joey. Plus, Joey has the best helmet design full stop.

 

Joey pic in the first post, top row, 2nd from left. got that picture and the Mike Hailwood one from this old dude in England who was his buddy. has all types of memorabilia... suits, boots, pictures, etc... told me a bunch of awesome stories over ebay messenger back and forth which was super rad. wouldn't ship to me out of the UK cause he was so paranoid about stuff getting damaged. had to get him to ship to my friend in the UK and then she sent them over... those 2 and Barry Sheene... my favorite ones.

 

I bet that things is even uglier in person.

 

Is that 1/2 of an SV motor?

 

Nah, it's all there.

 

Why would you want that extra weight?

 

No brakes?

 

It has to be some sort of sand circle track racer. Look at that "footpeg" that appears to be made from rebar.

 

English beach racing. Used to see an article now and then about it in 'Classic Mechanics' or 'Classic Bikes'. Think they have classes for just about anything that showed up: stripped XR250's, that sort of thing. Past the SV's left handlebar looks like something that may have started as a pukka speedway bike.

Please tell me they incorporated the term "bucket list" in the ad

 

They did not.
