Some eye candy for the two wheeled aficionado.<\/i><\/p>\n

The annual vintage and classic motorcycle show at the huge local Scottsdale, AZ dealer GOAZ was yesterday, and there was some really lovely machinery on display, not least my 1975 BMW R90\/6 which, unlike many of the garage queens here, is a daily rider and in my 30th year of ownership.<\/p>\n


\n
\n\"\"
\nOne of many buildings at the dealership. This one has the best bikes!<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nWithout a doubt this 1926 BMW R32 was the star of the show. Here’s the story.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThat’s actually a horizontally opposed BMW twin! Note the exposed drive shaft to the rear wheel.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nFour speed hand gear change.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nOriginal speedometer. Andreas Veigel also made car clocks …. and photographic enlargers!<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nHope and a prayer front brake.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSingle seat and pressed steel luggage rack.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nMy 1975 R90\/6, now with 68,000 miles, bought from the original owner in 1990 and ridden daily.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nCrunch time. Some tasty Kawasakis.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nClassic 1960s 2-stroke Lambretta, with exhaust scent to match!<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nQuadrophenia and The Who live.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nBadge city.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nHow you know a bike is British.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nLockheed was into the bike brake business.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nJewel-like 1966 Bultaco Metralla club racer.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nMoto Guzzi’s design goal was to make sure no one knew what all those warning lights did.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nGorgeous Ducati Mike Hailwood replica with cooled rear shock cylinder.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIn the 1970s Honda was king. This is their 1976 flat four water cooled tourer.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe engine is low in the frame for stability, and bulletproof.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nNot content, they then designed this wild CBX 6-cylinder marvel.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThen this exquisite 400cc four.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe dealership spares no expense.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe horse with two wheels, a modern Indian.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nBeautiful leatherwork on the Indian.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSomeone brought along a classic Healey.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSubtlety is not the American designer’s strong point ….<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n…. but charm is abundantly on display here.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSpooky Fast Customs will paint whatever your heart desires.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nClassic pre-war Indian detail.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThere were some 100 classic bikes on show.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nVespa no longer makes two strokes, but they do have a fine line of scooters.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nItalian Ducatis are all about speed.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nTwisted custom.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nIt’s a lifestyle for some.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nYours truly at the show. No tattoos yet. Photo by Wende Gooch.
