A collections of weirdos and, no, I didn't put a rally announcement in the wrong forum.

 

First up.  A 1920s Swallow replica.  (Helena, CA) $3800

Well made and interesting.

1920 Sparrow4

 

Next a real mess.  1974 Kawasaki custom built. (La Cresenta, CA) $1000

I can't figure this one out.  It looks like a race rig with an attempt at conversion to street use.  I dunno but would be a cool, odd project.

And finally...

This one is not so much weird as an interesting tub I haven't seen before (know what it is? comment below)

 

1971 Moto Guzzi with a neat sidecar (Arroyo Grande, CA) No price given for just the Guzzi

Gorgeous set up.

Drew, that last one, the Red Guzzi...has an Inder sidecar attached to it. It may "look" okay, but those Inder sidecars are in the same family as the Cozy sidecars, and basically sell for 2 grand.

The Guzzi is nice....but the sidecar is a cheap addition.

Inder,  Cozy,, or Kozy. I've not seen that style body before.  Still the Guzzi is not so much a high performance unit.

I likes it.

Would match nicely a red Fiat and a red Dodge. 

The Kwaka is a funny beast.

I would want a mining style whip antenna with a flag/light on top before venturing into traffic with that.

As for the Swallow. 

Beautiful.

Nice looking loop frame Guzzi , but the sidecar is a bit of a turd. That bike came with 18" Borrani wheels front and rear. I think they laced a smaller rear wheel on it. They painted, or powder coated the front alloy wheel black to match the rear. Interesting resto/mod bike.
