Engine break-outs

These are always fun to look at, but the real ones take time to make. I’ll see if I can dig up some pictures of the real things.

I took this picture at Ocean City bike week.  It’s a Vincent motor done up in a chopper style.  The guy said that the motor was on loan from a collector who still had the original bike.  Probably a smart idea….

Boardtrack Racers

Here are some pictures I have taken of Boardtrack racers. Some pictures I took at Barber and others are from the Indianapolis motor speedway. I can only imagine what it would have been like to race those with no brakes and hardly any safety gear. The demise of Indian motorcycles resulted from a death on the boardtrack……
