INTENTIONALLY lowering the bike onto the engine cases is an adventure riding thing, although you typically see it done with a BMW.

 For those that dont know ot...yet, picking up a 750 in thart position, will often bend the bars if you do it without planning..

 Somewhere I have a pic of my CBO 73 on its side, but it had case gaurds..

My guess is a catch can for the rocker box breather. We used to use v8/orange juice cans. They were  a little smaller than a coke can.

or... hear me out on this... a bike thread filled with picture of... bikes! maybe those pictures could be of bikes that really get us excited or give us ideas for build projects. or maybe just give us the motivation to roll up our sleeves and get into the garage!

hmmm... and we could call that thread, oh i dunno... inspiration hall? inspiration corridor?  uuuuh, motorcycle picture gallery?  hey guys help me out here!

really, it would be so cool... lots of pictures and hardly any off topic thread hijacks or posts without pictures of bikes.

just a thought.

you're just saying that because he's french. i'm a quarter french and if i weren't on the verge of surrendering i'd have something to say about it!

my apologies to our french members. i'm proud of my french blood. too bad my german blood wants to dominate it.... but i digress.

i'm with ya spikey. he does look like a douche.

is that a french word?  ::)
