so im thinking about taking a ride down to southern ca to check out this vintage bike museum, and was scrolling through all of the majestic bikes on their website...thought this might be a fun thread.....pick your favorite bike!

here is mine:

something about that one...gives me the same feeling i had in high school when i saw a friends swedish foreign exchange student lounging around the living room in her bikini......

No arguement from me on your choice. Mine would be any of the Nortons but for some perverse reason I like cricket bats. I think its a 28 0r 29.

the pro britten was made to race, not languish.

damn, i want one.

I might have to agree with tex on the Britten, though. Is 18 months old too late to change my sons name?

This really catches my eye:

Looks like someone beat Zero Engineering to the punch by about 90 years.

I also dig the '66 Bomber, of course, hell pretty much most of those bikes.

If it were just one, I'd be on the '57 Gold Star. Ask me tomorrow and it would likely be something else, which in a nutshell, describes the source of my motorcycle "problem".
cheers, bcr

I've got to say this one stood out the most for me.

What a blast this would be to ride.

was i the only one who noticed this bike? who wouldn't want an 8 cylinder guzzi (without the points of course)?

Mondial racers are very cool looking bikes. I have an old book that has a 50cc Mondial racer that looks a lot like that one. Very neat bikes.

If you ever come across a Moto Guzzi "Ghez' 50cc TWIN cylinder two-stroker they are just too COOL for words also!

 

[valvesprung]

Really diggin this one...

I've been to Solvang a couple times, and let me warn the uninitiated... It's a tourist nightmare. It's an entire theme-town, plucked right out of Disneyland - Swedishland. I do, however, remember a couple pubs - redemption for any town, but don't expect them to be cheap.
