Brass Knobs / Janus Motorbike

We had to drive down to the auto museum restoration shop to pick up some brass knobs I left there by mistake. 




‘Twas a nice sunny morning to drive the Lotus Elan M100. Top down, of course.



Then we stopped at the nearby fish distributors and picked up 4 different kinds of oysters, just to add some variety to our seafood dinner tonight.


On the way home we saw a guy who also had brass knobs ...



Riding 50 mph on California freeways, on this old thing!



Try this, timid safety-freaks, I thought. Then I saw the disc brake. This is a brand new bike!






Taking orders now, $7500, made in Indiana USA. Take a 360 degree camera ride, best on desktop or laptop and you can swing the camera to and fro to see whatever you like around you.

True offcourse...

... and i can understand people love the looks of this bike ... i really love how it looks. But still the point is that at that price most people start to think and consider a modern bike ... or a real vintage bike. Simply put, if you REALLY like the look...
