motorcycles caused me strife

yamaha sr's are sweet!

[cousteau]

Been lurking for quite a while, but just got an '81 CB750. Had the title transfered today and so thought it was a good idea to figure out how to ride the thing. I was scared shitless driving it home after buying it as I've never driven a road bike before and thought every car on the road was going to veer into me unexpectedly. But damn is it fun. I've been driving a yamaha vino for the past year and it feels so nice to be going faster than 30 mph. Fare warning to anyone with a pair of skulls, I felt like my balls being shoved into my stomach while riding this thing. Skinny jeans are not for motorcycles apparently. The only experience driving a shifting bike are the times my uncle's ranch on the atv's but its about the same, clutch, shift, throttle. minus the possibility of being clotheslined by a barbwire fence (not fun) but there aint no barbwire in the city and I think motorcycling is my new favorite hobby.

i finally passed my test and am looking at sr's but they are expensive here since they all need to be imported from japan.

but the mods for those bike are nice!

[shut up alex]

some one buy my bike, 1500 bucks

[kiya]

That 4Q sticker alone should raise the value by about $400 or so.

[BrokenGlass]

still on the fence on what to do with this thing

a. restore it as is

b. cafe it

c. restore it to the CL it was with a k1 tank and scrambler pipes

It's a 69 CL450 according to the vins but someone has since put black bomber pipes and later (73?) CB tank and covers

[shut up alex]

:cool:That thing looks great, if it runs good I say just ride the hell out of it. Putting clubman bars on it and calling it cafe sucks. Just my opinion.

On the motorcycle tip..

just putting clubman bars doesn't constitute a cafe I know. I'd do quite a bit more than that.

Just some photos I've come across lurking the jockey journal boards...

I heard some stories about this. I mean fuck, this is just epic. So cool that you got to spend some time with him. You have to put that picture of you at every store, shitfucks will never steal from you.

[edmond]

planning to sell my kawasaki drifter in exchange foe a harlet 1200 sportster what do you guys think??

[edmond]

this sportster or my betsy?

[dizzhizz]

they look more like racers to me...

[akuma no uta]

anyone here ballin enough to have an indian? i just fell in love with the chief bomber

and the chief vintage

priced respectively at $30,900 and $35,499. why must i always love the most expensive shit?

[kiya]

Those Indians are very nice, but for that price you can get something far nicer and it'd look better out the door.

I feel like with those Indians you'd have to cut a few fenders down and remove a bit to make it a bit more naked looking to really get the look you'd be going after to buy an Indian for that much, because if not you might as well be buying a brand new Harley.

[akuma no uta]

yeah, i can see that, theres a triumph dealership like 20 mins from my house im going to tomorrow to look at some bonnevilles, much much cheaper and still steazy as fuck

[edmond]

[dizzhizz]

bmw 650 x country

[raWorkshop]

Is that a 250? Looks like it could be a bunch of fun.

Speaking of fun on smallish bikes, I just finished a several day road trip.

Route 112 through the White Mountains in New Hampshire is amazing.

[wild style]

GS500E? Great shots.

You could get a Bonny for around $4-5000 before shipping and a Springer for around $8-9000 before shipping.

Look in the more rural areas of America and you'll get better deals.
