Laverda Jota 1200 with Cropredy Liberator Bodywork

The above bike is a typical Laverda Jota 1200 but with the awesome and hard to come by Cropredy Liberator bodywork. I’m not much of a Laverda fan because the engines, heads, and side covers are all a bit square which I think looks slightly odd:

The Cropredy bike above is once of the nicest looking [...]

1976 Kawasaki KZ900

1976 Kawasaki KZ900, originally uploaded by evanfell.

The original muscle bike – sort of.
This is my KZ900A that I owned for a short while. Kawasaki came out with the 900cc KZ900 in 1973 known as the Z1. Today the Z1 is a highly coveted bike and fetches great prices on the vintage market compared to all [...]

1972 Honda C70 Super Cub

1972 Honda C70 Super Cub, originally uploaded by evanfell.
I picked up this 1972 Honda Super Cub 70cc bike/scooter/moped/whatever-you-want-to-call-it. These little bikes have been in production for over 50 years. This particular scoot popped up locally for a mere $100 so I drove out and picked it up.
This bike has sat for at least 15 years [...]

1996 Honda XR600R – Yet Another New Purchase

1996 Honda XR600R Seat and Rear Fender, originally uploaded by evanfell.
I am a big fan of the Honda XR600 series of motorcycles. You might remember the 1983 Honda XL600 I was working on just last summer. The XL600 was a fantastic bike, particularly with the XR600 motor transplanted into it, but it was more street [...]

1985 BMW K100

1985 BMW K100, originally uploaded by evanfell.

As if I didn’t have enough motorcycles crammed into a tiny storage unit – now I have another! I drove 8 hours each way to pick up this 1985 BMW K100. I am generally real impulsive when it comes to motorcycle purchases, and this is certainly one of those [...]

Name that Matchless Motorcycle

DSC04437, originally uploaded by evanfell.

I spotted this beauty outside a deli in the San Fernando Valley recently and luckily I had my camera with me. What a gorgeous bike.
Is this a GS5 or 85? My Matchless knowledge is limited and I don’t have a keen enough eye to tell. Anybody?

What would I want with a junked out 1978 Honda CX500?

1978 Honda CX500 Gauges and Tank, originally uploaded by evanfell.
 
I came to Los Angeles and within 3 hours of arriving I was already picking up a bike.
For some reason the CX500 and CX650 motorcycles have slipped my grasp over the past few years. I was supposed to pick one up about a year ago, but [...]

Me on the KTM 300exc in Colorado

Evan Fell Kicking Ass, originally uploaded by evanfell.

Epic riding recently.
The riding in the Taylor Park area of central Colorado is simply amazing. Nothing compares to it on the east coast.
This is somewhere off of Italian Creek Trail before reaching the Flag Trail Trailhead. The side of this rock wash is sheer cliff. Fun!

Quick Intro

I have owned nearly every make and model of vintage Japanese motorcycle as well as a number of other Europeans and more modern bikes. I do everything from simple fixes to full restorations. I also travel and ride every chance I get.
