Very nice Mdub....but can we see it out on the road....anywhere will do...

Is it really a motorcycle if it sits in your garage? (philosophical question for the day)

Magpie - nice pic of your bike and Dereks...too bad you couldnt get the group photo but after reading the other thread I understand why....hope you had a good time in any case!

Martino - cool video! Inspires me to do the same...
cheers

Where is that exactly, Nebraska? Too bad you don't have much nice scenery around there...Holy crap.

Seriously, though, that's some pretty sick terrain.

But you know what they say, "Nice place to visit..." (insert winking emoticon .here.)

No on the road pics yet - just got it a few days ago and been too busy riding it (my wife and I both). But I took a quick pic out in front of the house just so she could show it off.

75 CB550K, mods done by PO. Better paint and some NOS to come as I find it.

R550,

Yes, it's a National Cycle model. They have several types...tints etc. This is the one I have.

I really like it...just the right size.

That could easily be the East Coast of the North Island here in New Zealand Noah.
Nice bike Dean, good to hear your missus is bitten by the bug too.

Yesterday when I took this picture it was 26C. The forcast for tomorrow is snow, go figure!
The bike is a 76-750SS which I have owned for 20 some years. It now has 43,000 miles with not major problems although the head is starting to weep oil but nothing serious.
The picture was taken a few km's from our home in Wycliffe British Columbia looking at the peaks of the Rocky Mountains as they head into Montana.

That's real purdy Greg.

I found the bike south of Regina. Worked out a deal with the owner to help him build a deck for his house and got the bike. Not bad for a day's work.

That would be Ute, German girl who was riding a 550

Seaweb and Magpie at the Tsawwassen Swap meet this past weekend. Pic by Seaweb.

Looks like Magpie was markin' its territory with some life juice.

Magpie · « **Reply #215 on:** April 22, 2009, 10:55:52 AM »

Dammit, I knew that would come up!

I was jammed in real quick by other bikes and couldn't move it. I should have moved it before Seaweb snapped the pic. You should have seen the mess on the ferry deck under the Triumphs and Nortons.

Those are some great pics, Pedro! This one is definitely my favorite!!

andy750 · « **Reply #219 on:** April 23, 2009, 05:48:03 AM »

Excellent stuff Pedro and I agree with Gordon - that is some lean angle. Also that is the biggest tank bag I have ever seen!

Keep them coming!

cheers
Andy

pedro750 · « **Reply #220 on:** April 23, 2009, 02:32:28 PM »

Thanks at all!
I've a lot of this pictures, so tomorrow I'll post others.
About my tank bag, yes it's very big and you can transport what you want, but I'm near 2 m high and I'm to the limit with the handlebars... During the travels it's like a firing...

Retro Rocket · « **Reply #221 on:** April 23, 2009, 06:21:15 PM »

Excellent pics Pedro, is that your rear tyre smoking on the "lean angle" pic or is that just coming from the pipe?

Mick

pedro750 · « **Reply #222 on:** April 24, 2009, 12:50:34 AM »

Yes Mick,
smoke come from the pipe, was a very hot day...

So, other pictures:
Bike or Track...?

The nature:

Technical meeting

Peace and love:

Lets go!:

Wat's the problem..?
