HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELT DRIVE BETTY!!!!! HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY - RIDE SAFE
Hershey, PA (March 21, 2012). The Antique Automobile Club of America Museum is proud to announce the April 3rd opening of its next major motorcycle exhibit, “Dusty Jewels: Off-Road Motorcycles of the 1970s.” This exhibit features more than 20 motorcycles that tell the story of off-road motorcycles of the 1970′s.
Fred and Hugo of Blitz Motorcycles describe their latest creation as “A gentleman’s bike for a gentleman rider”. But it’s not a conservative, retro throwback. “BSW” is decidedly unconventional, like all of Blitz’s builds so far.
Over 30 motorcycles from the collection of the Irish motorcycle legend, Harry Lindsay, are to feature in Bonhams next auction at the Classic Motorcycle Show in Stafford, on 29th April 2012. The collection is expected to fetch over £200,000 in total. Highlights include an ‘as new’ McIntosh Norton 500cc Manx (£25,000-30,000) together with a matching McIntosh Norton 350cc Manx (£22,000-27,000).

“Doing the Ton”—breaking the 100-mph barrier—for the first time is a milestone moment in any motorcyclist’s career. Losing my own velocity virginity was especially remarkable because it happened aboard the very bike you see in these pictures: a 1937 Brough Superior SS100, perhaps the most fantastic and desirable machine in the history of motorcycling.
