The Arvada Center (arts and entertainment) has an old motorcycle display running until September. Went up there with my boys and took some pictures I thought some of you might be interested in. Seems the bikes belong to 2 Arvada residents. There are about 35 bikes in the display not all of which I took pictures of.
An Indian.
A Boss Hoss with a Chevy 350 V-8.
My boys (Matthew and Jacob) with a John Player Special Norton.
Honda Rune. This thing really looks like a piece of art.
Benelli 6 900cc.
BSA Rocket 3. I had the Triumph version of the bike; 1973 Trident T150. Dated my wife with it.
The bike that killed T. E. Lawrence. A Brough Superior.
Laverda Jota. 900cc triple. I've always wanted one of these.
BSA 441 Victor. Had one of these for a while years ago.
Ural side car set up. In the back ground is a Maico and a Harley Davidson military bike built for the British military.
Bozo the clowns bike. Beautiful example of a really ugly color scheme.This is such a nice bike I can't believe anyone picked this out as a factory delivered paint job.
Vincent Black Shadow.
Ariel Square Four. This is the bike for me.
Gilera. I like the sentiment on the wall above the bike.
Harley drag bike. Even an irrigation pump can look beautiful.
Me and the boys with the Indian. I don't know what's wrong with me, I've been shrinking over the last couple of years I used to be much taller than them.

If you ask me (which you didn't) that's the Paris Hilton of K bikes. I agree with your assessment 100%. Did you find that specimen in the "Hall of Ugly" exhibit?
Oy vey.

Its the combination of the yellow wheels and that terrible, ill-fitting condom-looking front wheel cowling thing.
Ugh.
PS your boys look like great kids, with (hopefully) none of that teenage brooding thing going on)

The one good thing about the color of the K1 is no one could ever say they didn't see it coming.

Great pictures, and thanks for sharing!
This Norton JP Special is the one with the rotary engine?
Post Scriptum: I like that K1 color scheme  ...
Nothing like it on the roads!

Nor would anyone with good taste steal it.

No, typical vertical twin.
