Radical Guzzi, Oct 7

Custom bike of the week: we like this stylish effort from the good folk at Radical Speedshop in Germany.

Based on a relatively humble Moto Guzzi Bellagio 940, it's now running an engine bored and stroked to 1700cc and claiming 112kW (150hp) for a dry weight of around 180kg (400lb).

Bikebound has the story, here.

Shed find: Radio Rider and newspaper classifieds, Oct 2

We tripped over this during a recent attempt to clean out the shed – an exercise that was an utter failure. It's a clip of the 13 February, 1993, edition of the motorcycle section of The Age newspaper (Melbourne, Australia), which featured every Saturday.

By this time the famous rivers of gold (the classifieds) were dwindling thanks to a tough economy and competition from specialist classified magazines such as Just Bikes and then Motorcycle Trader. Then they got hit with the popular uptake of internet use and a tsunami of digital competition.

Motorcycle columnist Damien Kingsbury (now Professor K) wrote a piece on 3RRR's Radio Rider, while there were plenty of tasty offerings in the ads.
