Wow - in 35 years your bike grew 250 extra CCs, but some things -- like that exhaust -- never go out of style.

Great photo's.  Probably great memories to go along with them.  Makes me want to start digging out some of my old photos, if I can find them.

looks like you upgraded your camera
The '77 pic shown is actually a 2nd generation pic, originally taken w/ a Minolta 35mm SLR/SLT and printed on a 3x5 and recently re-photographed w/ a digital Kodak EZShare DX6340.

The 2nd pic shot today w/ the same Kodak.

Awesome pics! What kind of exhaust is that?

Im just like you 736, I love digging through old photo's. You never know what you will find and it brings back a lot of memories. Those are two good looking bikes. Since the recent pic is of a CB750 not the CB500 my guess is you no longer have that bike :( When did you sell it?

I did something like this a while back also I found a old picture I took back in 1971 of somebodies 1970 750KO parked out front of the local Honda Dealer at the time. 40 years later I took a pic of my 750KO parked in the same place. Only difference is the Honda dealer has been closed for years and now its a video store. >:( :(

Back in the late 60's and early 70's My best friend's family had a house in Hampton Bay so I did a lot of riding out there. Beautiful in the Summertime. Loved the cruise out to Montauk.......... So by my calculations in another 35 years you'll appear in the same spot on a GL1000....lol
