Stev-o if I thought for a single minute that you suspected I was serious, I'd have never posted it. I awoke early to make sure I could second that beauty.

I'll be happy to see another voter turnout like last month -- 98 votes and a one vote margin up until a few days before the voting ended.

I was trying to identify an eligible "four" in his thread.  His latest post show a twin CL350.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Hey Joe...no, the pics were shot at Arrowhead Park, about 3 miles downstream.
The campground and Bar K park are closed for repaving...

Both those sites can pound sand, more about the photography than the bikes...  Every once in awhile they put up a solid bike, if the creative, hipster photography is on point. :o

Two excellent examples this month fellas.  I have been a bit MIA lately due to my new found love of building Honda minibikes.

Any recommendations for a "Non Hipster" site?   I have been considering *Return of the Cafe Racer* but this is not necessarily a Cafe.

Apparently everything {including old race bikes, which sh1ts me to tears} are cafe racers these days so you'll be OK... ;)

LOL! I've toyed with the idea of changing my handle (CB750 Café Racer Fan) because I'm less of a 750 fan and not so glued on that style of bike either.
