This is a picture of someone that built a bike from a car.... Wish I remembered more about it! This was someplace in Ohio or Kentucky. That's my yellow magna in the background. I still have it has about 60,000 on it now. I've rode that bike coast to coast twice.

I'm liking the old Hondas you guys are posting...

And on the Goldwing, I don't think there is or has been a more luxurious bike made. While they aren't the type of bike that lays my hair back, I certainly appreciate all that they are. I have had a couple street bikes in the past, but haven't had one for awhile now. I have more fun in the dirt..

Diggin' the mustache on cow-chap-guy! LOL! Looks like he just climbed out of an old bi-plane

I was actually wondering if he was the guy on the Red Baron pizza boxes!

Is it me or is the front fender on backwards?

looks right to me. mid 70s started other way round - long out front, mud clooged fins.

I've had others like Harleys, I have pics of them but can't post em. wouldn't be good.

I beg to differ and am not one to beg...

my current heap. 80 flt frame, 05 drivetrain, 02 front end. my version of fxr. 594 lb full of gas.

I've always had good mileage out of Bridgestone tires. Never had any luck with Dunlop. I just had a new Bridgestone back tire put on the nomad. I usually get 16 to 17 thousand miles off one. The gold wing come wit Dunlops and it had 10'000 on it and both tires cupped and wore out about three thousand miles ago. I need to tires on it too.

Anyone running Michelin pilot road 4 GT's that's what my looking at.

My 79 XL250 with collectors plate, and 91 DT200, the 200 is very quick for its size, bought both dead, got $600 into he pair. Honda had no spark was a mystery to those who tried to fix it, grounded lead on the CDI(in the headlight) , The Yam needed a piston and ring, had a hole in the piston, ran with old gas lots of miles on it an big guy on a hill.
Both plated. Have had may bikes.
Have 2003 Honda 500 Rubicon and 2007 Yamaha Grizzly 700.

My first street bike was a VFR 750. Loved that v4 motor.
