The Frog with new pipes.

In all it's glory. This is a fairly legendary bike in certain circles of the 2 stroke world.

The Barton750 "Silver Dream Racer"

Chris Alty sent in these pics of a bike and brand that I'm a little ashamed to say I know very little about. Especially considering my love of two strokes and old movies. He's also getting a restoration business off the ground and included some nice links to more information. Check it out.

Regards Chris
Here's a nice clip from Silver Dream Racer to see the bike in action. Nice stuff actually. Especially for the times!
