Whenever I find myself feeling a bit jaded by the sameness that seems to be pervading the motorcycle industry, I go and visit the excellent kneeslider site.
There you can nearly always find stuff about what is happening with special builders around the world and check in on the truly innovative people about whom we rarely hear.
This morning I found this wonderful article about a clubman-style bike based on an old Honda CB450 twin. It makes me glad to see that people are re-using and refurbishing bikes that would otherwise be on the scrap heap.
Despite the fact that I’m a 4-cylinder man, I’d own and ride one of these things in a heartbeat.
