Can't believe most still have these horrible blinkers. Looks so sad, so dumm.

Nice bunch of bikes. I am a partial to the maroon 77.  I don’t see the 77 tank decal on many and see even less maroon ones.

I’m even partial to the large signals but I’m sure its just because mine originally came with them.

I like the 550F although it is a little ungainly and not as "sporty" as the 400 in my opinion. It has the huge fuel door tank as well as the large seat and high bars. I would still own one though, and I would like to get an orange one one day if it works out.

I'm always surprised to see these bikes coming out of the woodwork at certain events. I go to most rides here and every time there's a bike I haven't seen before.

I also like the maroon '77 with the chopper additions. Probably doesn't handle as well, but it looks cool with the period accessories!

Do you mean mine? First photo. It handles fine, just a little hard to turn in the parking lot.

Kinda sad I didn't make it home in well enough time to make dgrseattle2019.

Still reflecting on a lot of things the battle for mental health awareness needs.
It's a war on three fronts.

The political agenda
The public agenda
The private agenda

Taking on all three at once is a madman's task.
