    Last week I went to the International Motorcycle Show in Koln, Germany. I took over 1,000 pictures of many custom motorcycles, past and present production motorcycles, and a lot of scooters and ATVs.

    If you have a few hours, check out the pictures. http://www.ffcobra.com/magazine/article20061009.html

    What do you guys think of the current trend in European Motorcycle styling? I like it a lot, but I'm not sure the US market is ready for it.

    Since the Nurbergring is just 60 klm from Koln, I had to take the rental Bimmer to the track. There is a video and some photos from that day too. If you ever get to Germany, you must do the Ring. It's sooooo much fun to drive.

    FFCobra,

    Would you happen to have any photos of a black Triumph Daytona 675, with a GPR exhaust system on it??? The day 4 link on your site is not working. It would have been at the GPR stand or at the catalansportbikes.com stand.

    If you have any photos, I would love to see them! Thanks in advance, Adam

    Oh...and I'm quickly becoming a motorcycle freak ;)

    I have fixed the 4th day link. For some reason my site is putting the top area twice. So I have to fix that. But at least you can see the pics.

    If you see the Truimph, just email me at [email protected] and I'll send you the high-res versions.

    No worries about the 355. The guy who has a deposit on it closes on his new home next weekend and should be coming to pick it up. If not by Nov-15, it will be for-sale again.

    I'm a newby motorcycle fan. I used to ride when I was in college, until I took a minor spill on some gravel showing off some some woman. End of my bike riding, because I like going fast.

    Great shots Bill!! I cannot believe some of those bikes!! Cool scooters too!

    I love the new trends in the bike market. All the newer bikes look great and have better performance. I am a freak and ride the heck out of my CBR.
