Convincing? Ed Jacobs, Confederate Hellcat designer "We don't cover anything. That structure is real, it's not wallpaper. You really see the truth of what's going on, not a candy coating." Clicky here> link to Ed Chambers talking cool on Vimeo, sorry it's not embedded "I have a universal design philosophy that I've believed in for years: to listen to what the product wants to be," Jacobs says. "Don't force your aesthetic on it. Allow the intent of the structure to be the aesthetic." That philosophy informs the Hellcat's design, which is built around a solid aluminum engine case with elements of the frame bolted directly onto it. "Usually the frame is a cradle for the engine," Jacobs explains. "Here you bolt the frame to the front and rear of the engine and the whole thing is a working structure." http://confederate.com/development/?p=74

5-7 May? Galloway would be handy. May and June weekends are pretty well impossible for me in 2012, due to work commitments. I definitely have stuff on over the bank holiday weekends, but I'll see if I can manage the Scotland meet somehow. I'd love to go, of course.

Someone who has even more taste than Skeeve and much, much, much, more money (I'm guessing on that one) see here For sale etc

Sound man, that Kev (sometimes) Link to Ash interview

Though I wouldn't put it as strongly as that, it is indeed a somewhat daft and blinkered view from a wealthy ol' boy in that strange country of Amerikay, but it's an interesting slant to tilt the brain cells on for a moment.

What!?!? Did you miss all that George Bush stuff?!

We miss the presence here of our motocompatriot, Martin Barrett, and his most un-zen dirty Le Mans. But in a parallel universe, he is a zen artist extraordinaire, perfecting the sublime art of drawing motorcycles. Pssst, Martin... clue.... there should be 2 wheels http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsI8ciZ6nHQ

Rossopuro Vimeo link Jaap, can you explain again how to embed Vimeo? I couldn't follow the last guidance.

Very nice

An often discussed theme: can we revisit it? See NYT article by American poet FREDERICK SEIDEL> Is the Era of the Motorcycle Over? Thoughts?

Plenty of beauties here >> Bikers Classic meeting in Francorchamps & here's a bruiser

Isn't it all perspective? There could be a cloud by the.... oh, nevermind. JR, you give up too easily. You don't believe, deeeeep down with yourself, that others value your contribution. But, believe me: they don't . never mind, let it all out. BTW I'm in Bordeaux (France) at the moment and have had a few glasses of 'blonde'. I'd believe that there are helicopters.... anywhere. Looking forward to your future outpourings BFG How are the Frogs? Guess a Kiwi would,nt be too popular over there at the moment! I,m having a red myself! cheers Guzzler. Oh 7.45pm Sunday 30/10/11.

It's a helicopter. Isn't it? No. My mistake. It's a rain cloud.

What? That! This? Ah, now you're talking!

What? That!

Is that today? Is what today?

This Sunday? But I might be reading this in 2014 in which case this Sunday will be that Sunday. Time is a confusing matter: you have to be very careful with it. See you (ther/here) in 2014. Don't forget. Have a nice time.

Very sad news. Enthusiastic character and racer. A tragic end, a big loss.

aye, joyous sun in an October evening, I've abandoned shuffle and just been listening on to the Incredible String Band and Robin Williamson. Talking about October: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W_Pk4cqGGo&feature=relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCnJdQ9izto&feature=related
