So, specweld lets other people ride his bike.  Hmmmm.   I still need to give my vote.  Hint Hint Hint
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Next year I bought a TZ yamaha,

The story is great, the Isle on Mann thing,uhh, right?  You rode it and lived?

leaning your way, but gotta read the others if I have time or I might misjudge.

Oh, and here's something you might relate to. I think it was so loud they told him to go warm up somewhere else besides the metal roofed pavillion.

Vote cast. All are very nice. Two can be ridden on the street. That helped me whittle it down. Did I mention I'm partial to full body bikes.

So much time, work and passion on display here.  There has to be a winner and I voted for one, but I just marvel at the effort put in to these old bikes.  All are yummy.

Congratulations to Owned on a well deserved win. All three contenders were well thought out and well executed. All are really winners and their owners know it every time they throw a leg over!
