Spotted this group in front of Mattie's Tavern near Los Olivos - didn't see Michael Jackson anywhere.........
Cool bikes, some with sidehacks, their owners were standing around having a beer and weren't interested in talking [roll]

The last time I saw one of those was in Denmark, around 1969. Rumor has it manufacturing of Nimbus motorcycles ceased because the old ones never wore out.
Every time I go to Denmark I see a handful of them. They all look really damn cool and sound awesome. As a Dane, I really need one, for patriotic reasons of course.
WTF?
Is the whole frame made out of 5/16" x 1 1/2" bar stock bolted together? :o

Do click on the photos . Yes, those things on top of what looks like a car engine are exhaust rockers, springs and stems exposed to the environment.
Check out this Nimbus bobber:
