Cool bike and a Yamaha Wedding Cake! Awesome!

Davis May Sends in this cool little hybrid and an AWESOME  Wedding cake!  That's a good wife you have there!  Hang on to her!

Hey,

My name is Davis May.  I have sent you some photos of my work in progress.  It is a 1973 Yamaha DT3/250.  This is my first and only motorcycle.  I bought it off Ebay three or four years ago now.  I learned to ride on this machine.  Its kinda of a mutt.  I was not sure if I wanted an enduro or a flat tracker so I kinda did both.

Things I have done-

RD350 Triple Tree

Honda Front Wheel and Hub (went from a 21" to 18")

Fiberglass tail section that was built for a Triumph 

Webco High Compression head

Expansion chamber(sorry no photos of it)

Relocated ignition switch 

Relocated Speedometer (no tach)

Hand Made wiring harness 

I have to give my friend Bill credit for the paint.  He did all the hard stuff.  I just buffed.  

The cake is my wedding cake.  My wife had to know what she was getting into.

I hope that you enjoy

Just what everyone should have... a NOS Vespa!

This one almost slipped through my spam filter. Sorry about that! It's simply Amazing! A 30HP vespa with a NOS shot! Well done Mike!

Hi Here are photos of my 1975 Vespa P-200 (217cc) I did the full restoration of this bike and built the motor with the help of English Tooth Racing. This bike is putting out 30hp at the wheel with the nitrous and is a blast to ride. We are in the process of building a 40+hp motor for this bike.

Another Cool "4 cylinder" Triple

Hi Steve,


I check your 2-stroke and photo blog most days and always enjoy the stuff you find.


Attached is a photo I took at the Del Mar Concours in San Diego back in 2000. Look close, the mod is not your typical mod job on a the Kaw. The judges were so impressed that they asked the guy to start the bike to make sure it wasn’t faked. It ran and seemed to run well so they awarded him a special technical achievement trophy. Sorry but I don’t have any other info on the bike.

How cool is that!  Thanks Dave!  Found this on your CD.  I bet you were really tempted!  LOL.    This one was built by legendary two stroke tuner Stan Stephens.

Update: Link to build thread. Reader Ride! Holy Smokes!! One VERY Serious H2 Custom!

For those of you interested in the building of this bike here is a link to the build thread I just stumbled across.  It's even more impressive than I thought.

I would like to pay tribute to these machines through this tireless Mobylette manufactured in Spain by the GAC factory in 1972 (with Pat MOTOBECANE). It is now part of my humble collection and belonged to the father of my wife. I also attached a picture of a very special preparation made by joining two other family member and modifying damping and braking system. Greetings from Zaragoza

2nd Update from the comments: Konig Racer. Really interesting engine cinfiguration.

Second Update: I've got the smartest readers on the web!

A documentary about motor-racer Kim Newcombe, who turned heads in the 70s on a König motorbike he developed and designed himself. He was killed racing in 1973 and posthumously came second in that year's World 500cc Grand Prix. The film mixes interviews and underdog triumph on the track scenes, with Super 8 footage of family life on the circuit, and poignant wife-of-maverick reflections from his widow Janeen. Love, Speed and Loss won best documentary at the 2007 Qantas TV Awards and Air NZ Screen Awards for best documentary, directing, and editing.

Update from the comments:
Hi,
it is not a twin engine. It is a 4 cylinder engine. Originally a motorboat engine.
Cheers Uwe

I suspected that it might be but it was hard to be certain from the camera angle. thank you for clearing that up! Makes it all the more interesting!

A liquid cooled opposed four cylinder with a gear driven, toothed belt rotary valve intake intake setup. Interesting stuff.
