Trip into the past?
« on: September 09, 2015, 12:50:44 AM »
I went to a motorcycle dealership today, and for the first time in over 30 years, there were lots of bikes I like in the show room.

WOW those are nice!
thanks ;D
that looks like from when I was a young boy, me and my friends would stand outside, at the dealer, and lick the window, and drool.
They didn't let us inside because we would lick the bikes.
I remember once they had a, CC sale. $1.00 a cc for a bike. Don't remember if that included big bikes we just were looking at the 50cc's.
That was the day that they made us go stand outside.

Sierra Cycles who carries Honda and Yamaha in Sierra Vista, AZ has some nice old Hondas and Yamaha bikes that are the owners and their family.  They have a nice pair of Flake Sunrise Orange CB750 and CB550.
Their collection of Yamaha is deeper than Hondas with many off-road models as well as street bike s from Yamaha.  They are located on the upper mezzanine in the showroom and can be accessed by the public.
Tucson's dealer Musselman Honda has some nice old Hondas and a few other manufacturers in their mini museum area.

I can take more pictures when I pick up my bike. This is actually a Suzuki dealership that is specialized in vintage bikes of all sorts. The red one is a sample of what the bikes look like before they restore them.

It's running,  alright. It's a sandcast, wrinkle tank (clean inside) and all. This one will be restored. Even unrestored, it has a higher value than the pretty looking one next to it. There are eight more CB 750s in storage at the dealership.





Something looks familiar here on the Münch Mammoth....

Reading Standard Motorcycles in Reading , PA has an unbelievable collection of vintage bikes on display, hanging from the rafters, catwalks and showroom floor. Like a museum inside a dealership...Larry
