Another suprising milestone....

Took a look today at the site stats and noticed that the it's averaged just over one thousand hits a day for the last month (well few months really but it totaled out evenly this month). In my wildest dreams I never imagined it would ever get rolling like this. With all the reader contributions lately I feel like it's as much your site as mine. So keep em coming folks! And Thanks Again!

Reader Submittal. Honda Exotica. NSR250SP

I've got a few very regular contributors to the board and Mike Skelton is cementing himself as one of the best. Today he sends in this drippingly exotic Honda NSR 250 SP.

Mike Writes:

Steve,

A friend that I have known for 30+ years emailed me and told me that he had sold his 1993 Honda NSR250SP on Ebay, one of 900 made. Originally a Japanese model only, somehow it got registered in the states years ago and my friend has owned it for 8.5 years. It needed to go so he could finish restoring his Lotus.

I HAD to get some pictures for MPOTD, and I shot them in the large format that you request. The new owner has 6 other motorcycles, only one a 4 Stroke, and he races a RD400. From Virginia I think.

Note the original dealer decal on the tail section.
Enjoy and post away!
When do I get my MPOTD Contributing Photographer hat?? lol!


Mike if it was a paying job I'd give you a raise! Maybe we need to start thinking about hat and T-shirts for our "field corespondents"!! Hmmmm... I'm going to give that some serious thought. Stay tuned!

Ultra Rare Gillette Roadracer. Update #2

This is a direct copy of a post of a very unique bike from over on my 2-stroke biker blog. I found it interesting so I thought I'd put it up over here.

I've googled and really not found much. What is this cool little bike?

2nd update from a poster on ADV rider:
I remember seeing this bike in a magazine in the early 80s. As I recall the frame is from a Gilera and the engine is made from 3 Mobylette moped engines hence the name Gil/ette. The builder thought this was a great name as the Gilette shaving people had just brought out their 3 blade razor.


UPDATE: From the comments section, Andy in Melbourne writes in:

Hi, I met the bloke who built this bike in 1991 on the Isle of Man. It was late one night and I was staggering up the beachfront at Douglas and i almost stumbled onto this little Gem. I asked what it was and when he said a Gillette 150 I was most amazed. in 30 years of riding I had not heard of a Gillette, but that was because this is the only one ever built by this man, whos name from memory was Dave Gillette. He made the crankcases and the 3 cylinders and heads are the power heads from chainsaws from memory and so 3 X 50cc. =150cc. It was as pretty in the flesh ( what I could see , it was Very late) and I have never forgotten. what a great treat to se this amazing little bike again

Thank You sir for the heads up. I was really stumped on this one. Great Stuff!
