Damn, that bike is gnarly too. Thank you!

I've been pretty absent as of late, because I have been working on this:

1975 RD350, she runs pretty well and is now rideable thanks to long evenings for the last week and a half or so.  Rearsets should be on soon, then it's likely a cafe seat unless I get into the ignition or something.  So much fun but it's a little money pit.

Tim thats the best picture you could find of your bike?

[Seul]

@havingmysay:

Màn that's a fine looking thing… Not big on HD though in general... Blasphemy on this board, I guess, but still...

[timw82]

It was the easiest one to find.  You no like, lover?

[Gilbertt]

Tims bike is killer, shame you guys cant see it in person.

went down today. clipped a car head on going about 20mph. only things hurting are left ankle/foot and right leg. plus a puncture on my right thigh.

thank God I'm all right. and thanks to Shoei for protecting my head.

[Chris]

I had a friend who used to say, "The only people that wear helmets are people that think they have something worth protecting." 

Glad you're OK, dude.

[ADDIC]

haha i like that saying. but thanks. i actually just limped to my garage to take a look at the bike and helmet. only a few minor scratches on the top of the helmet and face shield.

as for the bike…not as lucky.

Ok, time to add some of my toys to this thread.

The KTM RC8R sportsbike, gave this some serious thrashing this summer in the UK ( when the weather was favourable ).

On the pushbike front I am lucky enough to own a Jeff Jones bike.  These photos were taken when Jeff visited the Uk and I took him on a good route around the Peak District.

[daveo]

That RC8R is pure sickness.  Veeeeeeeery nice.

[ddtrash]

Thanks you very much!….........slightly quicker than the pushbike too!

. . . maybe not - going down a rocky mountainside for example  but yeah the KTM is pretty rad!

totally green about the JJ story - half the fun of bikes (motorised or other) is tinkering with them, so to meet a master-tinkerer is awesome

[shutoko]

Mine. It's about to go to the shop to be completely redone.

this thread makes me regret two things…

1.  not being able to buy a bonneville because owning a house is expensive.

2.  selling my vintage windsor track bike to put towards the down payment on said house.  i miss that bike and i'll never be able to replace it.  and on top of it i have no pictures of it.  what an idiot i am.
