Random, just because I like them. In particular the cb400f as I have one.

I actually know where this one is from, Pipeburn

This amazing twin Norton engined machine was on Nostalgia on wheels. Good one

150 mph on a motorcycle

150 MILES AN HOUR ON A MOTORCYCLE!
Got this great clip from britishpathe.com

Here is the accompanying text from the website.
Full title reads: "Cork. 150 miles an hour on a motor cycle! Streamlined in every possible way even to his helmet - J S Wright and an O.E.C. - J.A.P-engined - wins back record for Britain from Germany."

Cork, Eire, Southern Ireland, Republic of Ireland.

Motorcyclist J S Wright gets ready for his record attempt. His clothing is being strapped down to cut back on wind resistance. He even has tape put around his throat - this looks a little dangerous. BV of him wearing a streamlined motorcycle helmet.

Views of his streamlined OEC motorbike with its J.A.P engine. Mechanics are checking over the bike.

Views of Wright preparing for his ride. Good CU and MS of Wright as he gets onto his bike and prepares to start off.

Shots of the bike being towed behind a car to get up to starting speed.

Shots of the motorcycle making several passes at high speed along very straight stretch of road. Good shot as bike passes under banner advertising BP (British Petroleum) Motor Spirit.

N.B. Joseph S Wright of Great Britain broke the speed record at 150.74 mph on 6/11/30.

Nice vintage pic

Saw this good one on the Falcon blog

I got this from web somewhere as usual.
