This neat BMW R100-based cafe racer was found on Flickr today and it comes from previous bloggee Andre Pinto. Andre’s used a clever mish-mash of Technic and System parts to create his motorbike and there lots of superb imagery to see at his photostream. Click the link above for the full gallery.

Easy Rider
Only a few short days after his last appearance here at TLCB, redfern1950s returns with another stunningly creative motorcycle. This one’s a hard-tail chopper and it uses some of LEGO’s weirder parts brilliantly. See what you can spot via the link above.
Copper Chopper
This gloriously impractical yet breathtakingly beautiful motorcycle is the work of Flickr’s redfern1950s. Copper probably isn’t the most suitable material for a bike, seeing as it gets very hot and it also goes green, but gosh is it pretty. It’s a shame its primary use is unseen in your central heating system really. Redfern’s put it to much better aesthetic use though, and you can see more of this stunning creation at his photostream via the link above.
Side Saddle
Sometimes we could be accused of focussing only on fast, loud and exotic forms of transport here at The Lego Car Blog. So to redress the balance here’s an elderly Italian couple on a scooter.
Dario Minisini is the builder and you can see more of his charming build at his photostream here.
Cafe Racer
Finally, we’re back to what we know. The Elves have been given strict instructions to stick to their brief, and the first result is this lovely Technic cafe racer motorbike. There’s a working twin-cylinder engine, front and rear suspension, steering and chain tensioner. Senpai Ragnarok is the builder making his TLCB debut, and you can see more of his excellent motorcycle at the Eurobricks discussion forum or at his Flickr photostream.
Ol’ Blue
It’s not a car, but it is rather pretty. This vintage Triumph-esque motorcycle is the work of Joe Perez aka MortalSwordsman. See more on Flickr here.
BSA Bobber
Taking a ‘vintage’ style photo of your dinner is perhaps one of the douchiest things you can do on the internet (thanks for that one Instagram), but occasionally retro images do work. This is one such occasion, courtesy of Aaden H and his BSA based ‘Bobber’/’Rat’ motorcycle.
Aaden has captured the ethos of bobber/rat bike culture brilliantly, even including a ‘heat wrapped’ exhaust by way of (we think!) a sticky bandage! See more of the BSA on Flickr here, just don’t get any ideas about taking similar pictures of your food.
