I love that that photo could have been taken yesterday or in 74 when the bike was brand new!

The helmet, on the berm, looks period 1970's.  Boy did someone find a super nice photo to scan if it's really a 40 year old image.
Take care,
David

Forget building bikes dude...you should go work for SpikeTV. That video was WAY better than most of their "guy lifestyle" stuff. That Cafe Racer TV show could sure use your skills.

Good job!!!

Rode the bike to an air show/car & bike show.
A plane crashed just a couple of minutes before we arrived so no more flying, but I did catch this one in my lense.

 What software did you use?
 Expensive?
 I haven't got anything to edit HDMP4, know exactly what soundtrack I would use though and what I want to do (if I ever find out how to do it )

my vids are made with AVS Video Editor , it's pretty simple software as far as video editing goes .. i also have Power Director, witch is really complex and almost too cumbersome to use , but Power Director has some crazy effects and audio editing stuff

Power director was 100 bucks
and i think AVS Video Editor was like 70 or 80
                       (i got them both from torrents,wink wink)


Edit: i'm running windows 7 64bit

Sweet Norton 750 Commando.  Truly inspirational, sitting right in the lot at Big Boy.  You could eat off that motor.

took the boy to my new favorite hangout , about 2 miles from my house

http://www.motoridershop.com/

you could seriously get lost in this place,

 their labor prices are great ( some things you just gotta hand off to the guy with the right tools)
the employees are laid back , and with all the drool worthy goodies there , it's a great destination for any locals that haven't been there




Ry's favorite , i fine choice i think ...  he didn't even notice the front suspension till i pointed it out  ;D
witch of coarse cemented it as his fav












and my personal favorite ..

Hi,

A little late, but I found this picture in this thread, and I think it's a CB350 K0, domestic version. That would be correct if the bike wasn't dressed as a police bike. The domestic version did have the CB72 gas tank (hawk or superhawk). I uploaded the picture to a thread on the honda305 forum, in this thread the existence is proven of such a bike.

A couple pictures from Road America Race Track in Wisconsin at the Motorcycle Classics Ride and Show. The Rickman has less than 1 mile on it only from rolling.

I think I saw that Rickman in the last issue of Motorcycle Classics, it was just auctioned recently; it's being sold again???   I'd like to see an XLCR in person too; I wouldn't be surprised if Peter Egan wasn't too far out of your camera's viewfinder.

I find bikes like the Rickman kind of depressing. What a waste to just keep that bike in a showroom and never use it the way the builder intended.
