Here are how this last batch of motorcycle themed pens turned out.
I have a real passion for both bikes and pens, so for my collection I enjoy making these. I am aware of the trademark stuff which is frustrating.
I have had a Bultaco and love all the models, so I made a Sherpa T trials bike pen.
I made a Frontera one to match my old bike.
I needed to fill an order on a BMW pen, so made a couple.
My brother bought a Yamaha MT-07 in black, and knicknamed it " The Rooster," so I came up with the black one for his Christmas present.
I made a Christmas present to my friend that has an orange BMW R65LS.
Hope they all like them!

Wonderful set Steve. Each is great and should be well liked. I really favor the EDC's, nice combination.

Have a nice holiday.

Thanks Mark! I sure like the click action on that pen, I am torture testing one at my work that didn't turn out perfectly. So far so good. Happy holidays to you and yours too!

I remember OSSA dirtbikes back in the 70's were badass. I had an Elsinore, my buddies rode OSSAs, CanAms, Hodaka.
Yeah they sure were special bikes! I had a 75 OSSA Explorer 250 for over 25 years that I fixed up, ride and even had in a couple of shows.
I had a Bultaco Frontera that I had made street legal. I worked on it about five years.

Just stop with the drool factor. :p I would guess parts are hard to find. You had me looking on ebay. There is a really sweet Hodaka Wombat.

Parts are still available, but wow they are asking a lot, compared to when I had them.
Wombats are very cool! Always wanted the first year of the Combat Wombat!
The Wombat is cool being that it is street legal already so you can ride more places.
My knee is bad, so no kick starting fir me anymore, so I have my 2018 Suzuki RV200 Van Van it's called, for back roads exploring and my BMW R65LS for a faster paced classic bike.
I always wanted a Hodaka just to be able to take it to the annual Hodaka Days celebration event held up in Athena, Oregon. Kinda like a Sturgis event for Hodaka fans!
Parts for those are still available from places like Strictly Hodaka, in RI. Lots of help on the bike forums too.
Here are pics of my current bikes that have electric start.

I remember always having a bruised knee from kickstarting. My rule was, kick 3 times, then clean the plug.

I used to ride 10,000 miles a year. Life changes. Raced and FZR400 in WERA 1991-1995. Also my lightly used 1996 CBR600 with some unobtanium. I have gone through the motor.

Wow that takes a lot of skill and guts to race like that! That's a beautiful CBR!

Almost 50 years ago I rode a Ducati 350 (I think that's what it was, the size, not the bike, two cylinders anyway). They had a name for it that I can't repeat here but man was it a nice bike. We left the country so fast that I had to leave the bike behind. Haven't ridden since. These are some nice pens.

Ducatis are great bikes! Thanks for the nice comment.😊
