Reader Ride. Sweet Honda Hawk GT.

Jack Michaud Writes in:

Hi,
My dad turned me on to your blog. Nice stuff! Here's a pic of my 1989 Honda Hawk 650GT. Why Honda gifts this market segment to Suzuki I'll never know!

I couldn't agree more. This bike was years ahead of the SV and they gave just up on it too soon. Damm shame.

Interesting Reader Submittal. VF500 Magna Tracker.

Paul Robinson sends in a pic of his interesting build.

Hmmm... There's a lo of potential here. I never thought of these bikes as tracker material. There's a million of them out there too at affordable prices. Just saying..

Reader Ride From Spain! A Honda CM400T Street Tracker.

This may be the nicest CM400T on the planet. Damm that is cool.

I've said it here many many times. You do NOT need big money or big engines to build fantastic bikes. And here we have another excellent example of that. This beauty was built by Mario Trigo Salorino wo writes in:


Hello, my name is Mario and I write from Spain. I'm a fan of your blog for a long time. Always show the style of bikes that I like. It is a daily appointment required.


I want to show a personal project I recently completed. It is a Honda CM400T, base uncommon, has been done by me and some friends. I do not define his style, bobber, track, brat ... is a modest project but I'm very happy with the result. Major changes are, handlebars, handlebar switch, repositioning of the electrical components and battery box, exhaust, rear set, clocks, modified original seat and paint job. Appear on your blog would be a reward for my work. I hope you like.


A greeting and continued with this great blog. Muchas gracias.


PS. Sorry for my English.

Your English is fine Mario It's an excellent build. I am labeling at a Street Tracker but you're right it has elements of other styles in it as well.  ! Thank you very much for sending in these great picture!

Reader Ride. A nicely done Scrambler.

Thanks Ian! Well done. I like the Norman Hyde pipes.

What was the bike that "Lawerence of Arabia" owned?

A Brough Superior of course.

Thanks to an alert reader!

Hi there! Thanks for a brilliant site.

I was walking around the Imperial War Museum in London yesterday and came across Lawrence of Arabia's SS100 Brough Superior. I'm not sure that it's suitable for the site, but I thought you'd like it. Lawrence owned eight of these beauties and they were all called George!

Thanks again
Jezza

Thanks for the pics Matt. Like I posted on your comments I think it a very well balanced build. Looks like you could ride the tar out of it.  Can't wait to see that Mark 1!!

When Ron sent in his Favorite five submittable he included these pics of the one he "should have never sold". Oh but how we all have an old bike like that. She's a beauty indeed.
