Returning with yet another exquisitely shot episode, Petrolicious details the quirks of the vintage Triple Nickel motorcycle, this particular one being owned by Stacie B. London. First venturing into the world of vintage bikes equipped with only a vague idea of the bike she wanted and an insatiable urge to ride, London chanced upon – and was charmed by – the Honda CB160, which was in production for just one year. Packing a ferocity that belies its tiny size, London acquired the bike despite its kickstart engine, and the difficulty in maintaining and finding parts for the bike. Now, one broken collarbone later, London looks back at her first season of vintage riding, with all its thrills and challenges. Enjoy the video above and stay tuned for more from the world of automotives.
