Here is a pic of my girlfriend on my new K7 back in 1977. Yes, we rode in short shorts and tennis shoes back then...young and foolish.

And she still rides with me to this day.

David B · « **Reply #232 on:** May 11, 2014, 05:42:29 AM »

Those pics of your girlfriend and now wife are the best Johnie! I'd have them enlarged & frame them. They'd be perfect for the shop, an office or a den. Great way to score some points too.

PeWe · « **Reply #233 on:** May 11, 2014, 06:20:20 AM »

Yes, the girls wonderful skin perfect for motorcycle leathers commercial. A good reason to protect and maintain.

Johnie · « **Reply #234 on:** May 11, 2014, 11:54:27 AM »

Thanks Dave and PeWe...she likes your idea

I do have this other picture up in my shop at the moment. And here she is wearing leather...only we are not moving.

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #235 on:** May 11, 2014, 02:32:08 PM »

Nice Picture Johnie...

David B · « **Reply #236 on:** May 11, 2014, 07:01:59 PM »

Very cool! Wonderful to see the "then & now" pics. Father time has been kind to you both.

Now you need one for/on each bike

Found one...of all the 35mm pictures I've ever taken (maybe 10,000), this one is/was my all-time favorite bike pic. It's one of my brother, after we had jammed 600 miles one day, ending at Arapahoe Bay on Granby Lake, Colorado, circa 1975. He was taking a pic of the sun we had chased all that day from somewhere in Kansas to here, I took it of him, taking one of HIS favorite shots. His bike (1971 CB500 w/'Jammer, sissy bar, luggage rack holding his bedroll and tentroll) is between him and me.

That is a nice shot. A keeper for sure! I don't think I posted here yet but I didn't get my SOHC till 2000. I can offer up a DOHC though! This is my Mom, my 2 sons, and I early 80's in Fremont, Ca.

Couple pics of some of my old CB's taken in the late 70's.

Couple burnout's next to my home in Indiana.
Triumph I picked up in 79 during my stint at AMI (Daytona). Swapped a CB750, CB350, and 74 Elsinore for the Triumph and an old Pan/Shovel.
Used to trailer a bike down to the Summerland Key (parents winter home). Big upgrade from the Schwinn continental.

Summerland Key & Daytona.

67 Daytona 500 I rebuilt for my dad and one of my old CB's. Probably had 5 or 6 different ones in my younger years.

Not really SOHC but hopefully fits the 70's theme.
Still have the CT and QA. Taught my kids how to ride on them. Use the CT to get the mail now..

2002

CR great pics! That last pic looks like sisters or twins. Which is it? They are havin' fun man...

I just found this photo which was taken on 17th July 1982 at my brother's wedding.

This was the bike that I wanted soo badly when I was a teenager, and finally got when I was 48! (not that particular bike)

I should point out that although we Scots are a hardy bunch this is not normal biking attire and I don't think he actually got up enough speed to show if he was a "true" Scotsman or not, if you get my meaning!

Here is the only photo I have left of my 76 CB750.

Daytona Beach 1977 or 78, 76 750 with 811 kit, 16 inch Harley wheel, RC Engr. header.

The plastic motel room trash can was being transported to a car wash to wash off the
salt air film and Ga. road bugs. Her name was "Big Red". Bought her new at the Honda
dealership in Monroe, NC and we had lots of fun together for many years.

Hey Ed like the pic. Looks alot like my K6 16" tire also. But I do have 341's back on it now though. How did that 811 kit make it run compared to stock. Why did you sell it and how long ago. Just curious do you still have the vin#. Be nice to see by chance if it was near to my K6. Notice you do have your helmet hanging on your bars thats good but where is the rest of your riding gear

Cut off jeans and tennis shoes would lead to some severe road rash. I know back in the day trying to catch some rays and impress the girls

Been there done that also

Any bites on the CB1100f you've got listed on CL.
