I share with all of you one of my dream bikes.  I plan to make a replica of this bike when I have collected all the parts.  I have a special bin in my garage of parts which are going to this build.  I might have to have some fabbed, I guess..  Trying to avoid that route.

These bikes are street legal, more or less.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Alas, this is a Honda CB360 sporting a Benelli tank.  I am not trying to bust anyone's chops, but I remember this build from another forum.

It is a Velocette Viper. Very cool and very brittish.

I watched Dave Roper on an early 60's 500 make some modern riders look very slow on one at NHIS a few years ago.

Ducatiz, good luck with your project.  It looks like an awesome goal.

I know Laverda's should be orange, but I seem to prefer them in any color other than orange.

My bad.  With a name like Velocette I thought it was Italian.  Didn't think to look it up.  Still cool though.

Took these pix at the Rock Store back on the 12th of September.
