Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
That popped up on Instagram (Return of the Café Racers iirc). There's some very nice detail to it...and it's a very patriotic colour (It's from Queensland). Might be the best CX custom I've seen.

Like the way it looks like it's just an engine with a few bits hanging from it

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
The engines a bit weedy but lends itself to customising (and the bikes haven't been to expensive to start with).

I like the motos.of.war on Instagram too. Lots of stuff I never knew existed. Can't go wrong with a bike with a cannon attached.

Speaking of which....(apologies if this has been posted before, but it fits the 'interesting' category )

It's not a rocket launcher, it's a recoilless rifle.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Couldn't find the Vespa but my attention was drawn to this rather nice 1941 Enfield. Maybe I should think about getting a vintage bike again?

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Last night I got back from a trip to Ireland.I'll do a short RR at some point.
These two were parked at the hotel in Kenmare,they had both previously done a return trip from Milan to the Nordkapp.& on this trip they were doing Milan to Ireland,doing a lap of Ireland then riding back to Milan.That BMW isn't yet another GS,it's a scooter

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
It's interesting but will it get built? I guess they'll be one of the most effective at getting something from concept to production if there's a market. Got to love the head honchos name though.
