Happy Christmas sohc4 from the XLF
« on: December 04, 2008, 01:21:14 PM »
I joined up temporarily, but, just to show we're not all "Better a sister in a whorehouse than a brother on a Honda" types over there, here are a few tasty and unusual sohc's to get your juices flowing. All taken at a classic bike festival in Dijon last summer. Some may even belong to some of you folks...

CB750 race bike:



Japauto CB750/1000. Rare and beautiful in an ugly kinda way. Compare the finning on the barrels to the stock 750 next to it:



My personal favourite - Moto Martin framed Japauto CB750. I want this bike so much:


Not sure what capacity this is (500? 550? maybe even a 400?), but it was small and sweet.


And finally...







Oops, how did that one get in there?

A bit early, maybe, but Merry Christmas all!!

No - definitely no chaps!
I only had time to look through the first 3 pages of the inspiration gallery, but some nice bikes in there, especially the cafes, which is what I grew up on.

I'll stick around and have a look at the remaining 30 odd pages when I get a chance.

Cheers

p.s. I posted a few more pics in the inspiration gallery for your delectation.

What the hill is wrong with wearing chaps? I've worn chaps in bad or cold weather for over 20 years and they work great. We used to be such a good group of guys who got along all the time and then some Harley guy shows up..... ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

MERRY CHRISTMAS and thanks for the eye candy, it was delicious!

Here's a couple more for ya'

Chaps may be ok for you cowboy types, but that's one item of bike gear that doesn't transfer well across the pond - at least, not outside of certain clubs (I'm led to believe).  :-* ;) :-X ;D ;D ;D

Hey... don't get me going! ;)

Chaps I can understand on road trips, open road and such; but leather vests?! Lots of protection there boy.
