It’s old, it’s ugly, it’s cheap but as of today it’s mine!

You have a real XR750?
If you ever want to sell it... it is the one bike I have wanted for 30 years....
That is an incredible machine! Like putting an aircraft engine in a Honda Dream!
So much power... so little weight. An insanely amazing machine that won everything for 20 years!

I do. It’s a 1970, so iron cylinders and heads. It’s not as old as your stuff, but cool American motorcycle history. My dad used to race it when I was a kid.
Motorcycles are like cars and dates. The best ones are the ones that are paid for. Old and ugly are a bonus. ??
There were no wild donkey tracks on the road going in, there were coming out 30 minutes later.
eta: @sirhrmechanic will need to come help me shovel sunshine with that airhead in January or February after he has had plenty of practice with snow.

Nice looking pan, what year?
That’s 20 miles from my house ? I got off work early and made some tracks.
It’s a 1960 motor and trans, 48 frame and the casting in my springer is 3 making it pretty damn early.
My goodness! What is that red one! It is amazing and perfect for my wife in her wheelchair.
She had a Honda silverwing years ago. But ever since her accident (not motorcycle related) she can't ride because of the wheelchair. She misses it greatly.
Ruh roh Raggy! Somebody’s gonna be tearing some shit up! ???
Recluse it? Tires? The rake on this may not require it but a steering damper made a HUGE difference for me once I decided to try one. Didn't really notice anything until I went without one. That's when I figure out how nice they are. Especially had high speeds. Takes the twitch out.
Miss riding every day. I'll eventually pick up another bike but relocating and getting married put a hold on all riding activities.
My 2013 Daytona 675R I sold for an engagement ring. Best bike I ever owned and they dont make them anymore.
And the brother-in-laws 1199 Pan that he sold for a side by side.

Always loved the yellow and black scheme for Yamaha.

I did do. It is their anniversary paint scheme and this was the 50th anniversary edition model. Once I got the programmer and exhaust in it, she was pure evil for a 600cc bike.
I just had the Ducati Performance dry clutch installed on my V4s Corse. I like the function much better than the wet clutch.
This followed me home today. 2020 KTM 300 TPI Six Days.
No, It's a 1975 R90s. The predecessor to the R100s.
My 17 CVO Breakout. Not much of the original Harley left, but now that I am done with it I can (and have) ride it for 5k miles over 5 days, and run low 12s in the quarter without a hiccup.
wish I had a HD version! It would help with the winter time blues..
Finally finished! Just needing a speedo.. 1947 Indian custom. Will probably cut exhaust pipe back a bit
Electric start (old fart)

You Fucked up selling that Daytona, that is one sweet ride !
I know it kills me. Nothing sounds quite like a tripple screaming at 16k through a practically straight pipe.
If i ever had an allergic reaction skip the EpiPen and let her yell
Picked up a 1991 Suzuki RGV250 Gamma, two cylinder two stroke. Never sold in the USA. The before and after pictures..... A lot of work..
