You know the deal....
Slightly psychedelicized shot of two Italian bikes. Wasn’t intentional, that’s just the way the shutter clicks sometimes. The Ducati streetfighter @ left is sweet, but that Moto Guzzi is hella rare. Never seen one in the wild before. Looks like a Le Mans…..
Return of the revenge of the Metric Cafe Racer
There’s a woman at my work that rides her Kawasaki W650 in to the job. I dig that bike. Haven’t gotten around to talking to her yet ( patience, lads), but I like looking at them ( the bike and the lady, that is).
The 650 is out of production now, which comes as a blow to Japanese cycle enthusiasts that were looking for a reasonably-priced Triumph lookalike. These things were bred to be modern-day cafe racers. Well, fear not- just read today that their coming back online with a larger displacement engine and improved emissions standards. Let me leech the link and post it up here like blam!

From what’s there: no US release. Damn. Maybe I oughtta talk to that lady at the work spot, see if I can ride b*tch on her cycle. Might be the closest I get…
The Abandoned-
These two are permanently abandoned in BK. Honda in the back is crying for a rebuild and repo. Whoever left the Yamaha keeps the tires inflated, but that oil slick under the engine spells trouble.
This bagger and Honda combo are often seen together. Hard to picture an odder combo, but whatever.
Dead Triumph-
Triumphs are cool bikes, but the people on them are often obnoxious yuppies.
Since quite a few of the aforementioned yupster scooter riders are invading the ‘hood now, I was kinda laughing to see one of their rides get laid low. LOL.
Yuppie, go home.
