Very "Unusual" Triumph Street Tracker / Fighter / Whatever?
I keep looking at this bike and wondering why I kinda sorta like it. It's a very strange mix that that has me scratching my head.

By Request... The Jay Springsteen Harley Racebike
Had a request from the previous post to see more of the #9 harley in the background. I know I've posted this bike before but I don't get tired of looking at it.
By the way, the Google Search feature and the "word-cloud" really does work pretty well

Bob's Badass Bonneville...
Basic Bonneville turned street tracker with Honda Wheels and seriously upgraded suspension. I've seen Bob ride this bike and she goes as good as she looks. The bike's been on here before but this is a better and more recent picture from last May's Riding Into History where he was volunteering.

Things that make you go Hmmmmmm
Today I saw this.
My mind typically goes straight to the gutter when ever allowed to do so.
So I says to myself, "Self, That logo looks more like an E.D. with a little boner than a D.E. doesn't it? And doesn't ED stand for erectile dysfunction anyway? Why yes. Yes it does."
I wonder if they created this logo before Viagra and all of their commercials gained popularity and the term E.D. became a common house hold word.
Things that make you go "HMMMMM".
That's a mouthful!

2nd UPDATE: Suddenly Street Legal! BWM Cafe / Former Racer.
Second Update. Thanks once again to our very knowledgeable commentators (thanks Tony) I have been informed that this is a creation of Ritmo Sereno (maybe I should try reading the decals on the bikes). A seriously drool-worthy Japanese base builder of custom European machines. Here is a direct link to one of the bikes below. I can't help you with the translation but the pictures speak for themselves.
Update: A clarification. As was pointed out in the comments I think it's possible that this is the same bike but not really likely. They are similar enough to make for an interesting blog entry but probably different rides. Probably the same builder. That or they knew (of) each other.
Now it's a racebike....
Add lights and remove the pan and now it's a Cafe... or is it the other way around. Stunning bike(s) either way.

NOT Sold in the U.S. Bikes We Don't "Get" Here in The U.S.
Over on Motorcycle Daily there's a good blurb today about a beautifully equipped Euro only V-Strom 650. The story covers the usual storyline about Americans and their love of cruisers etc... etc...
The sad fact of the matter is that we don't get them here because we really don't "get" them.
Damm Shame. Missing out on some great bikes that would do very well in Americas wide open spaces.

Aprilia RSV4 Factory vs. BMW’s S1000RR vs. KTM RC8R
With BMW’s S1000RR and KTM’s updated and new-to-the-U.S. RC8R as an all-new model, the field of liter-ish superbikes expands considerably for 2010.Apologies to MV Agusta for not counting the 2010 F4, but no one’s yet signed up to race it in a large-scale series – the KTM was the runner-up in the 2009 IDM (International German Superbike Championship). We sure wouldn’t mind a spin on the MV, though. (Hint, hint, MV Agusta.)
Like the race grid, we’ll now expand the roster of contestants in our annual liter test.
No longer limiting the battle to the Big Four from Japan, we’ll eventually include the BMW S1000RR on the list of participants powered by the popular inline-Four configuration.
But for now, to start off what has become a literbike mêlée, we’re first evaluating all the Vee configuration contenders.
