Well of Death

Great video music video that could very well be a tribute to the 'Mela' and the last of the dying breed of Indian itinerants-the heroes in the Well of Death.

Vote with Your Feet!

Screw the blacks, screw the whites, There's no Left or Right on a motorcycle. Just Vote For Malcolm... and we can all just go riding!

Scar TIssue

There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with. -Harry Crews, novelist and playwright (b. 1935)

Screw Harry Crews: Scars make for some hardcore motorcyclists and some great beer stories

Another motorcycle story

Another road trip

And rubbish to fill my stomach

They say a Chai leads to some interesting conversation

 But who'd ever think it would lead to this...

 A dismantled motorcycle and a loaded car

The engine's still sitting in the back of the car and the seat...
The owner said it was in the gut of his cow

Piss pot

Gives taking the piss a whole new meaning...

Back to the future

Living off the laurels of winning the 'International Six Days' isn't a bad thing at all, especially if you can pull it off on that little NSU there.



This Moto Guzzi V7 Special in white reeks 'cop bike'. I didn't really know that one of these actually existed here in India, although i've seen a couple of older Guzzis. The bike looks fabulous, save the retarded horse on the side panel, I believe it was an sticker that went on the bikes that were sold to the Yanks. The Americans wanted a powerful cop bike and this is what urged Moto Guzzi to give them the V7, they even called it the Ambassador. I could be wrong about the horse sticker but i wasn't wrong when i thought it looked like a go anywhere motorcycle. FYI, this one dates back to the early 70s if not '69.



Great Tee, Great Riding goggles, 'Vintage-motorcycles-make-me-look-silly' smile. Fantastic!!



That's what a registration tag look like in 1972. None of the hideous plates/stickers on the front to ruin the fluidity of the great paint job.! Bring back the 70's please!!



I'm not sure of the exact model of this motorcycle from from the looks of it, it's a pre 1938. Because this is a ridgid and '38-39 is when Norton started putting the Plunger suspension on the rear. More when I get the participants list, but that was another motorcycle that was worth it's age and weight in gold.

Leaning over II

With this post some might call me a narcissist but I love motorcycles and I love when i'm on one. This is a series of pics that i especially like. Riding around with my buddy in tow, we weren't really scrapping, but it was great fun finally running amok on the track with him. All those years of carving through traffic on the daily commute had us just waiting for this. Sigh! I miss the good ol'days.

The Fragrance of Speed

From what it seems, I've tried to keep motorcycles as far away from this blog as possible, and for no good reason actually. So to put that to an end, here's a post on motorcycles. I was at the racetrack recently to ride a few motorcycles that had just rolled off the assembly lines at their respective factories. An enthusiast will know how the aroma of a new motorcycle laying rubber on scorching tarmac sends their olfactory senses into a tizzy. I feel it each time i look at these images. Hope you smell it too!
