This 1926 Ford Roadster Golden Era Hot Rod Can Be Yours (?)

If you like cool Ford hotrods, you have until November 15th to break out your checkbook. At least, that’s the case with this 1926 Ford Roadster Golden Era made by customizer Rick Dore.
While it’s dubbed the Ford Roadster Golden Era, the car actually started life as a 1926 Ford Model T before getting a 1960s-era hot-rod makeover.
RELATED: See photos of Rick Dore’s customized 1940 Mercury Coupe
That makeover includes a wheelbase stretch to 106 inches and a lowering that makes the car basically scrape the ground. Power comes from a 351 cubic-inch Ford V-8, and the 325 horsepower gets to the wheels via a Ford C-4 automatic trans. A nine-inch rear axle with a 3.73 rear differential gets it to the ground. The exhaust pipes have been routed to the rear to keep the paint looking like new.
This car has been on the streets since 2006, and it’s scheduled to reach auction on November 15 for a minimum of $60,000.

The UK Gets a Dazzling Koenigsegg One:1 Megacar
Ask most guys what their dream job would be and a good smattering would say, “Drive fast cars.” Three guys from the UK are living that dream and now they’ve just bought a personal ride truly reflective of their supercar lifestyle – a new Koenigsegg One:1. The guys, three parts of The BHP Project,…

Watch a Lamborghini Rev Until it Catches Fire
It’s amazing the effect a few extra cylinders have. A Lamborghini driver in London was recently flexing the vocal pipes of his $400,000 Aventador LP700 when its V12 engine coughed up more than just a spit of flames. The overzealous revving caused part of the rear bumper to catch fire and prompted…

Moto Guzzi's 2 New California Cruisers - 2014 EICMA
November 7, 2014 3:38 PM
Moto Guzzi didn’t make a huge splash at EICMA 2014; the Italian company known for its signature transverse V-twin revealed two new versions of their California 1400 cruiser.
2015 Moto Guzzi California Audace

The Audace (translated literally: “Bold”) is proof that the old adage “keep it simple, stupid” actually has a lot of merit. The blacked-out version of the California looks great, a nice counterpart to the often flamboyant features of Italian bikes. The Audace is a modded Calfornia Custom; differences include drag bars, a fatter rear tire, and sportier foot controls (footpegs replace the footboards, and a traditional shifter replaces the usual California rocker-type shifter). The bike may appeal to cruiser riders who are looking for a more performance-oriented bike.

2015 Moto Guzzi California Eldorado
The California Eldorado swings the style needle back the other way. Based on the Eldorado model that Moto Guzzi produced in the 60’s, the bike adds chrome touches as well as those white-wall tires and a low 28.5 inch seat height. (Vertically challenged riders will be happy here; the Eldorado also sports 16” wheels, which will allow just about anyone to flatfoot it.) In addition, the Eldorado will come with standard cruise control. The Eldorado could serve riders who are looking for an all-purpose cruiser with the potential to rack up some serious touring miles.

Both bikes are great looking; Moto Guzzi seems to be trying to emulate what Indian’s done with the Chief and the Scout, in terms of retro looks matched with modern-day performance. Whether or not it can compete here in the U.S. remains to be seen. U.S. pricing and availability have not yet been announced; we’ll be sure to keep you updated.
Moto Guzzi MGX-21 Concept
Guzzi also introduced the MGX-21 concept bike. A bagger take on the California name, it includes a low fairing, two bags and carbon fiber body work.

Middleweights: 6 Motorcycles With Versatility and Style
Eric Schaal |
So it’s not a domineering cruiser firing down the road and guzzling gas. It’s also not a beginner bike that can barely keep up on stretches of highway where riders could use more aggression. Middleweight motorcycles provide versatility for riders who want some sport performance as well as the ability to show off when taking a break. Inside this class of bikes is a considerable amount of range from high-power performance to low-rev cruising pull.
Bikes from fabled European manufacturers and Japanese stalwarts tend to deliver most often in the middleweight category, but there are a fair share of U.S. bikes showing up in the segment. Here are six new bikes that provide versatility in a middleweight ride and style to go along with it.
1. 2014 Honda Interceptor ($12,499)
This 2014 sport-***-touring bike from Honda has enough style to make pedestrians give it a long look in passing. In other words, there’s no Accord in the Interceptor. Featuring a 782cc VTEC engine, the Interceptor delivers the low-end torque riders in this segment love. Another appealing element in the package is the high-rev capabilities when in four-cylinder mode.
ABS in the Deluxe model ($13,499) and 5.2 gallons of space in the fuel tank mean should prepare for long journeys on the bike that’s been called one of the ten best on countless motorcycle mag lists. Any rider who’s waited more than four years to see the return of the VFR800 has the chance to ****** a new and improved Interceptor. Peak horsepower is 105 hp.
2. BMW F800GT ($11,890)
Starting at $11,890 with ABS included, the BMW F800 GT needs little introduction in the middleweight class of bikes. Reviewers love the handling and day-to-day effects the bike has on both one’s psyche and road reputation. Technically speaking, BMW has a leg up on many other bike makers with the F800 GT’s tire pressure monitoring system. Instead of taxing tires excessively and forcing owners to find early replacements, the system provides longevity while enhancing fuel economy.
Riders can get nearly 55 mpg riding the F800 GT, but the 4.0 gallon tank capacity will limit trips to about 220 miles. Nonetheless, touring in this new BMW with a 798cc two-cylinder engine (90 hp, 63 lb-ft of torque) should provide plenty of thrills between fill-ups.
3. Triump Daytona 675R ($13,499)
The name of this Triumph may read Daytona, but the bike has far more supersport than cruiser in its DNA. Triumph brought in the 2014 Daytona at a lighter weight while shortening the stroke and widening the bore. As a result, riders get more acceleration and a cylinder block that can handle the pressure of the added power. Twin fuel injectors make it easier for cylinders to privide that punch, while titanium valves make handling the juice better on the rider. Brembo brakes and Ohlins suspension are part of the package.
Designers deliver the advanced technology of the 2014 Daytona 675R in a pretty package as well. Access to the 128 hp engine will be as attractive as the bike is sitting parked by the curb.
4. Ducati 848 Streetfighter ($13,495)
Ducati has an answer for aggression in any bike class. Its middleweight Streetfighter packs the Tetrastretta 11-degree engine of 848 EVO fame. While offering just 71 hp and 69 lb-ft of torque, the infusion of superbike technology makes every horse count. The new Trellis frame in the latest model, along with the traction control system from Ducati, have brought this bike a great deal of acclaim since its release. Top Speed went so far as to call it Ducati’s greatest overall achievement in terms of stance, control, aggression, and enjoyment. Others simply call it the best middleweight bike, hands down.
To gaze at the Streetfighter’s industrial style is to be transported to the hardened back alleys of European capitals. It’s the black leather jacket of middleweight motorcycles.
5. MV Agusta F3 675 ($13,999)
Meccanica Verghera Agusta has a lot to say in the middleweight category. In the F3 675 the bike maker delivers a 675cc three-cylinder engine with twelve titanium valve-heads. Capable of 126 hp and 52 lb-ft of torque, it’s a quick launch bike that has no equal in the sub-four-cylinder category. MV Agusta’s inclusion of a counter-rotating crankshaft made all that power manageable.
Style-wise, you can’t top the gold triple exhaust you find by the F3 675′s back wheel. Combined with the flat grey (“pearl white” coloring) and red piping, lovers of Italian modernity get everything they could wish for in this middleweight gem. MV Agusta boasts it has been called “the most beautiful 600 in the world.” It’s hard to find fault with that assessment.
6. Yamaha FZ-09 ($7,990)
Leave it to Yamaha to do the middleweight trick well under five figures. The FZ-09 is not the flashiest bike ever made, but it offers plenty more style than the FZ8 it replaced in the bike maker’s lineup. Featuring an all-new 847cc liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine, the FZ-09 offers enough torque in the lower ranges to satisfy riders on the open roads. Impressive throttle response and fuel-injection system provide access to the horsepower at any rpm.
Maximum figures come in at 113 hp and 63 lb-ft of torque. Yamaha upped the ante in power and also dropped over 50 pounds in wet weight (to 414 pounds) from the FZ8 to the 2014 FZ-09. Combining that resume with style that makes riders think first of Euro fashions, there’s a great deal to love about this affordable middleweight.

While I am a fan of the Roadsters in general, the front end of that one doesn't quite appeal to my sense of taste, maybe in person I would be able to appreciate it more. I am curious to see what it will fetch at auction though.
