Topic: Vintage Motorcycle Death Traps

Obviously I love vintage iron. There is not much better than this. I wonder how many previous riders lost their legs on this thing....

Motorcycle Chain Death trap

Currently down in southern Mexico - the engine in my bike is toast and won't start or run. Needs a rebuild. Can't ride all day every day and not expect to rebuild a motor once in a while. Yehaw!

Re: Vintage Motorcycle Death Traps

I can't get enough of these old speedway and flat track race bikes. These classic Harley's look like such a riot. I wish they were affordable so I could get my hands on one.

These ones are from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Vintage Motorcycle Museum. I haven't been out there before but they sure have some sweet bikes.

Re: Vintage Motorcycle Death Traps

Those tires were indeed thin. You wouldn't believe how fast and hard they rode them though!

Those later two bikes are peashooter race bikes from the late 20's. No brakes, no clutch, no transmission. Just push to start, hop on, and hit the gas.

Re: Vintage Motorcycle Death Traps

Wow those look like bicycles with fat motors attached to them... can't even image how risky you would feel riding those little buggers. Would be a nice adrenaline rush tho.
