I have 2 bikes in a shed.
A Zundap and a BMW R60
Both need some work but just from being stored.

Should get one running for the SIL.....
NOOOOOOO!Should get one running for the SIL.....
She has some kind of 250 dirt bike that does not run....
Used to have a Honda Elsinore and a Kaw 500 3 cyl 2 stroke street bike. 60 hp on a 300 lb frame. Fast but rode like a sawhorse.
Yep, those are heavy bikes....I just stuck with the dirts, then gave them to my son, I'm not even sure what he did with them, haven't even thought about um till last night.
The only problem was that the mail did not give me any notification that anyone had posted here yet. I just logged on anyway and VOILA! Look at all the stuff here!Rich must have bought a dirt bike today, now he's in the hospital......
Nothing significant. SSDD...
Not sure I even looked at the thermometer. I know it was windy as shit and I had a coat on, but it did not rain or snow, so it must have been an OK day.
Gee, the motorcycle posts must have really tripped some triggers here...
Well, never did get a picture of my first motorcycle (1949 Indian) because I didn't even own a camera in 1966, but here's my first bike after I went to England 1968 (we were not a permanent unit on base - weather guys were a detachment, so the base commander's order of "no motorcycles" did not apply to me) - this is a Honda 305 Street Scrambler
And this is one that maybe Cromwell or Jimi might try these days - 50cc (belonged to my niece)
Which I had that Honda 305 right now, prolly worth a few bucks restored.
I didn't know we had so many bike enthusiasts here either......
Nice pictures, Rich...!
That's cool you kept pictures and were able to scan um.
I wouldn't know where to begin looking for my picture albums....their either in the garage here, the office garage, a filing cabinet, in a closet, on the floor, on a floor in a closet, a box in the attic
or God knows where.

I bet it would be. I only paid $100 for it (used, obviously) back then. But I also recall selling a 1949 Ford for $20 in 1967 and saw one that looked just like it a few years ago and the asking price was $12,000.
me and my daughter on my sister's Honda 100
Pretty sure I had the 100 too....but I know I don't have any pictures of that one, it was short lived after my brother got ahold of it.
Sure you want more?
All of these are my Yamahahaha 250 (converted from street to dirt)
Had enough yet?

Guess we posted at the same time, answered my question regarding the Yami.
Believe the baddest bike I had was the 400 Can Am....son-of-a-bitch would fly, and was reliable....we tooks those bikes to hell and back in the deserts.....thank god they didn't break, I'd prolly be dead now out in the middle of nowhere......
Getting ready to race in the snow - always a fun time going sideways...
I never had any of the really spendy brands -- was always extremely budget restricted (had to work two jobs to get that Husky). Well, until I got a divorce, but by then I was mostly into street bikes (well, some with dual function, like the Honda 500 thumper).
G'nite, Dale. Don't work too hard and we'll catch ya later.
I had a couple Hondas. Does that count?
Yep, they count.......!
But....you had to have stitches or a cast to be included in the club....
You've probably seen enough photos by me, but I thought I should show you the very best OFF ROAD ride I ever owned. Only One Horsepower, Shadow was a jet black Tennessee Walking Horse.
One horsepower is fantastic, thanks for the picture....!
Never wrecked the CB750. Only laid the 125XL down after sliding across I've on the road. Never got a bruise.But....you had to have stitches or a cast to be included in the club....
Is that p-northwest, or Dakotas?
That pic was taken in Central Orygun, just east of the Cascade Mountains on the High Desert. But looking at the surroundings, it easily could have been near Flagstaff, AZ....
Now that you mention Flag...indeed it does.
Hasta la bye bye, Dude. Get some good Zs and we'll catch ya on the flip flop.
Voluntary.....Kool.....
Yeah, eye drops to clear my eyes, but they contain particulates. I should hope the idiots recall it.

Prolly only shards of glass - or some other nondescript item.
BUT....I couldn't believe people were actually eating that shit at 9:00 AM, when they opened.How as your day, Rich?
I was eating a nasty (processed) beef and (processed) cheddar sandwich at 9:00 this morning (JK)-----
Arbys?
Oh yeah, you had breakfast at...ugh... Arby's house of boiled beef....
Didn't do too much... peeled a bunch of apples so Lannie could can more, then stuffed a bunch of capsules (144) with turmeric powder.... stuff like that.
Yup, inspected couple buildings for corporate. I couldn't believe they had a crowd at 9:00 in the morning, and they don't sell any actual breakfast items...curly fries and a jamocia shake....unreal....
Nice...easy days are a good thing once in awhile.....
