The forum's best SOHC photos.
« on: February 15, 2012, 03:12:44 AM »
Hey gang, I'm putting together a blog for tomorrow and I'd like to publish it with some photos of great rides. I'm looking for 4-6 pictures of outstanding machines. I could dig myself (and will if you're not interested) but thought it might be interested to get the community opinion since I'm not as active on the boards as I once was. Maybe at least one or two photos of stock machines?


Thanks a bunch guys, I used a lot of these photos. I appreciate your help. Here is my blurb and a link to the article you helped build. I made sure to thank you on the site!

This week we tap into the Hubcap Man of Heaven's mind control theories and how it relates to the love of a man (or woman) for the king of all material objects - the motorcycle. Come for the good times and stay for the great oldies at Behind Bars - Motorcycles and Life. http://www.behindbarsmotorcycle.com/

The current BOTM is a great example, and with high quality pics.

 These pics of my '71 CB500 (with CB550 engine swap) were taken by my friend Carsten Fritzen on a recent trip to the SC lowcountry. I thought they turned out well.

What a sexy start. I love that gray 500.

Also, I used to say "What the hell is up with orange motorcycles?" Now I want one, bad. Beautiful. Thanks guys. Great start.

Every one has their own opinion of the best...this is my best


1978 cb 550k......stock,my first re-build


Loud pipes suck.......

If you buy something.........pay for it !
If you sell something .......ship it !
If you say you are going to do something......do it !
If you have a question about something......ask it !
When the seller answers ........let him know whether you still want it or not !
If you receive something .....let the seller know you got it !
If you get something and are happy/un happy with it .....let the giver/seller know !
If you have any kind of issue,shipping/receiving/quality/price/shipping charges etc !

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!
