Post Your Bike!

.....I think any negative thoughts toward motorcycles from car drivers would be aimed at the crotch-rocket camp....people in cars "like" to pass, and be passed, by 5-6 motorcycles like Goldwings, Harleys, and Harley-Styled cruisers....we ride in staggered-formation by about two lengths, to give everyone the full lane....kids wave big....wuz female flashed once....bounced off two walls....

My collection of bikes, before I had to stop riding...

My back yard, part of the collection-

My Honda 1976 CL360-

My Honda 1974 CL125 single-

My Honda 1973 CL175-

My most ridden bike, the suprisingly nice Honda 1983/4 VT500 Ascot twin-

not my ascot, but here's a better pic of one-

Shot of my favorite bike of the bunch, my beloved 1973 CL350 Honda Scrambler

Another shot of my scrambler, and a 1980's Honda Hawk GT650 (one of two my friend owned- one red, one blue- I was going to buy both GT650s from him before I got into my car accident).

Missing is the 1968 Honda CL350 Scrambler I own, rough, but all original, which looks similar to this-

and a custom 1971 or 2 Honda CB350, which looks similar to this one-

Heres a few pics:

The bike looks rough I know,it still needs a lot of work,and the original tank and body parts.There is a lot of custom stuff on this bike,the rear shock is a big one had to make it a unishock strong enough for rough terain also the carb's are not original or the airbox its all custom fitted. I beleive the box is off a honda 1100 cruiser and the carbs are off a yammi 750 cruiser but it ran good until we bent a valve so were lookin for a new motor haha

Enjoy the pic's,
Shawn.

That's WILD!! :thmbsp:
I wish I were close enough to take it for a ride sometime.

DAMN DUDE!!!! That's one hell of a collection. Man did that blue CB 350 bring back memories.. my very first bike was a 72 CB 350 that looked exactly like that. Same color and all... VERY IMPRESSIVE vintage collection!!!

Thedeli, now I want to come and play at your house. I'd love to get a ride on the Honda 125 - first slap some modern rubber on it and go like stink in the twisties. I started off on a Honda 200, then a Honda 400, etc.. I just love small motorcycles and have a blast on 'em.

Wow thedelihouse my buddy and I who built that ninja atc just ripped apart and scrapped about 30 of those hondas all different years but they looked very close to what you have in the pics,if i would have known i could have got you loads of parts! you can see the gas tank and the seat on that atc are both off a honda bummer!

Nice back yard!! Always appreciate another "vintage-hondaholic". Really toy with buying another NT-650 Hawk. My silver '88 was heavily 'breathed-on' and a great bike. Used to really piss-off the crotch-rocket boys around town. The eccentric on the singled-sided swingarm corroded so couldn't adjust the chain. Sold to the mechanic at the local Honda shop after they quoted $400 to fix.

Missing from the following collection is the CB900F I sold to a friend's father who blew the clutch and I'm trying to get back. Another bike I am sorry I sold. In the back corner of the first photo is an '82 XLH Sportster I'm storing for a friend and hoping to buy. But, the battery leaked and ate through a frame-tube so we are negotiating. Have never owned a Harley.

'81 Kawalski KZ-550 & Brother's '71 BMW R75/5.

'72 Triumph T100R & brother's '73 Honda CB350F (four).

brother's '78 Honda CB200 & '78 Yamaha 250.

Too Cool.. a lotta nice old vintage bikes coming out of the woodwork here. I've got a friend restoring a 68 trumpet.. I'm jelous... I've always wanted to find a really cool old bike to restore, but I'm sure I wouldn't be able to find the time I would want to dedicate to it..

 

[Yamaha B-2]

That T100R has only had 2 owners. The original owner, who bought it new in the fall of '71, and me (since '95). He is an old friend of my brother's and also has that Sportster I'm thinking of. The T100R is the easiest to start bike I've ever owned. Tickle the Amals and it always starts on the third or fourth kick. It will be my first restoration job when I retire June of '09. Followed by the CB900F, if I get it back.

Hello people!!
I have a real sweet 1981 Yamaha Seca 750.
It's a daily runner with 100K+....on the original engine.
Except for the el-stinko Hitachi carbs....I LOVE this bike!!
I'll try to post a few pics ASAP.

Here´s mine, a 1989 Yamaha DT50. These 50cc bikes are limited by law to 60km/h here, but a lot of people makes changes to the engine and transmission to make them faster. I haven´t done it with mine (the fine is almost $1000, plus your insurance will be void). I only use it for short trips, obviously, because of the low speed. The fuel consumption is incredibly low, spare parts and insurance is cheap and the bike is reliable and easy to repair. Despite the small engine it runs quite well, especially if i fill it up with 100 octane AVGAS.

50cc bikes are a blast...and I've had one going more like 50mph than 60 km/h but that was on the track. I can understand wanting to avoid the hassle with the law...and insurance. I wish that I had a street legal 125cc two stroke. That would be a lot of fun on the twisties and is big enough to make freeway speeds for a while.

There are a number of 50cc/12-speed Japanese race bikes in street trim available. With a light rider they can go amazingly fast. Think Krieder (?) also makes them. Would be great fun!! A Honda or Yamaha 125cc 4-stroke is a great little round-town bike. And, has no problem keeping up with traffic at highway speeds if you don't mind the buzz. Both make 2-cylinder models that are much less buzzy, but are rare in the U.S.

.....I'll never forget a couple of used 1100's I had back in the mid-to-late '80s, a Yamaha and a Kawasaki....upright-sitters with inline 4 cylinder engines....I thought they would run like a scalded ape....then I test-rode a used V-Max in about '90....it was all over....got a brand new one in early '93....upright-sitting acceleration took on a new meaning....anybody have one of the inline 4's from the '80s?....they were really tough for their time-frame.....
