 A neat little Triumph Cub speedway outfit built by a Daytona guy called Red Rice in '48. It's called the 'Candy Striper' for some reason....

Dunstall Racing in the 60's - Norton

BMW Handcrafted ISDT style R80 (and the original)

PARILLA Wildcat - 1965 Italian Scrambler

Superb balance of a vintage road single into a scrambler setup.
I think this may be a template for my next Royal Enfield....

HEIWA Japan - Cassic new custom style since 2004

Heiwa are an old fave and I can't help revisiting this pared back chop from 2006 (not their earliest incarnation of this style but the cleanest, stylistically).

and a Norton recently updated on their site: http://www.heiwa-mc.jp/show/?id=54

Coffin Tank Royal Enfield - Japan Street Scene

Fell of my chair when I saw this one - they've actually put a coffin tank back to front to turn it into a Digger style tank - different indeed !

(last photo is a more traditional Harley Digger tank being fabricated)

Norton 16H Trials / Scrambler - With Hardtail & Girder Forks

Love the heavy 'patina' on the tank - an interesting old side-valve on ebay this week, that should probably stay away from the sandpit (for numerous reasons, not the least is the unfiltered air intake). A new tank and some lights/wiring could make for a cool Cafe hopper though.

I've seen a few restored models at auction lately, so it's nice to see a 'roughie' - probably sell for more than the restored units too the way it's going... here's the jump:
