Here is an interesting motorcycle that I saw today at Alice's Restaurant. It appears to be a very custom bike built by ARCH, which I believe is a custom fabricator. Lots of interesting parts if you look closely. It is powered by an S&S engine and they did a really good job of hiding the air intake and filter.

I had to look up Arch as I knew I had heard of them. However, I was thinking it was the renamed Confederate Motorcycle company. Looks like it is Keanu Reeves company. Not my thing but hats off if he can make a go of it and folks like it.
Very nice, Gunther. I recognize all of the Moto Guzzis other than the one in photo 1, which looks like something around 100cc from the 1930's. Do you have any idea which Guzzi model it is? I found the hand shift interesting.
It should be a Motoleggera 65, aka "Guzzino" (little Guzzi)
Moto Guzzi Motoleggera 65 - Wikipedia
I'm afraid it's written in italian (and german), maybe google translator could help
By the way, in '49 Guzzi organized a meeting for Guzzino owners, in Manello came 14.257 people riding 12.660 Guzzini, from Italy and other parts of the world (so they said).
Prehistory
[lol] This reminds me the 9 italian championship won by Genoa football club between 1898 and 1924, they didn't win anything else after '24 [lol]

Saturday morning at Villa Basque in Carson City, NV. A 1910 Harley-Davidson single, 35 cu. in. Single speed, belt drive, total loss oiling system, maximum speed about 40 mph. Ridden to coffee this morning from the owner's home about 20 miles one way.On the left side photograph, the words Harley-Davidson are just barely visible.

Now here is a bike that you don't see every day. A Suzuki 500cc square-four two-stoke Gamma. I was told that only about 300 of this model were imported into the U.S. I forgot to ask what year it is. My guess would be sometime around 1990? I am sure someone here knows more about this Suzuki than I do.

Thank you Richard. It is unlikely I will be trading in my '14 GT. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I have not yet seen an F900 in the wild.

Attached is a photo of a Moto Guzzi Norge that I saw at Alice's Restaurant yesterday. Nice looking bike and one that I have only seen once or twice before. The other photo is a closeup if the Norge's cute mascot. :)

Attached are two photos of a customized 1979 Honda CBX and two photos of a 1982 Honda CBX touring model. I saw both of these bikes at the Alice's restaurant parking lot yesterday. The red CBX really made a racket from its aftermarket mufflers.

I have never heard a CBX running. I have just seen parked at bike shows and museums. I would love to hear that.
