Any other bikers here? Rice rocketeers included

Me, I've got a Hardley Ableson and a couple of Gilroy Indians......and (shudders) an old Hon-doody. What do you kids have?

BTW, am looking for a 4 speed trans for a electric start alternator Shovel FLH ('76)...anyone know of a reasonably priced one?

Sold my 1982 Suzuki GS-1100GKZ about 3-4 years ago, ending, perhaps temporarily, my 25+ year adventure with motorcycles. I just didn't want to keep it if I never had the time to ride. I rather spend those free hours with the kids than driving 2 hours to find some new, unridden road. Prolly over 100,000 miles driven and at least 6 bikes all told.

Never owned a Harley (and I'm from Milwaukee!!) as they never floated my boat. Too big, too heavy, too slow, and bad handling weren't high on my list of qualities I looked for in a bike.

Mine... Give me a few days and I'll post a pic of the real thing.

I'm not a biker, but I've been thinking about getting a 1953 Vincent Black Shadow (series C) as a restoration project. My best effort would probably be to go to England, and maybe get Trawlerman to help navigate me through the countryside, looking for parts and pieces...

Why a Vincent? One damn cool bike, IMHO...

Sharp ride, but where do the training wheels attach? :-)

If I were lucky enough to get the parts to restore or build one, I would be to scared to ride it<g>.

If you don't know Honda history too well, it's an RC30.

.....drool....

I had the Honda Interceptor myself, 85. I miss it very badly - Also had 93 Ninja 600, 80 suzuki GS 1000, and Yamaha Maxim 86. The latter I bought for my wife, although she never rode it, well once.

I'm currently bikeless :cry: :cry: But I'm looking into a Kawi ZX7 - Older 94 model - Which is plenty of bike for me. I would love to have one of those Bonnevilles myself.

Cant wait for riding weather !!!!

I bought this little Dax and the Honda 90 at a garage sale nearby. I sold the Dax to a guy in Belgium, I still have the Honda 90. It's still in that crate. This is my insurance against the next gas crunch.

[grumpy]

This ones a little bit cleaner then mine which I sadly do not ride anymore.

[Donny]

OMG Don wow!!!! I love old bikes! I did buy a fairly clean suzuki ts 125 at a garage sale but nothing like what you have. btw I sold the suzuki back to the 1st owner,I fixed it the day I bought it then rode it to the first owners house to get the title and he wanted it lol I made a lil money :) but mis the bike

[Andyman]

Here's what my Suzuki sorta looked like. I can't find any pics here, but this is the model.
I removed the factory fairing and installed a Windjammer. My seat was solid black and I rode it w/o the totebox on back. I really loved the way that baby looked, but it killed me to have it just sitting in my garage, and in the way.

Maybe another later on???????????

.....drool....I remember when they came out. Did a lot of drooling. Would still like one. The current VFRs are getting weird looking.
