Topic: Lets see your SOHC bike out on the road!

[Stev-o]

Rode the "Big Bang Bike" last Friday afternoon and have a new motto:

"You meet the HOTTEST people on a Honda!"





Thankfully, triple digit temps are over for us, "only" going to be 93 today! C'mon Fall!!

Stev-o,I haven't seen the 'Park Racer' for a while;you still have it ?

Yes, it's on the lift collecting dust. Will get it back out on the road soon...

I just found this picture of Dorothy. 

Stev-o do you remember the seat? 

Honestly, not really, but guessing I sold it to ya cheap?!  [I've had so many seats...]

Eventually 

No, you just gave me hard time every time I posted a picture of her 

Ok...HA!   And you changed it?!

We got to 87 here yesterday, not too bad.

Here, they say you can always tell a mainlander from a local when they are standing outside. The local is always in the shade and the mainlander is standing in the sun

CB750K3 at Tishomingo State Park, North East Mississippi- Nice campground, beautiful scenery, twisty roads despite low speed limits, still nice to visit.
K5 Woodall Mt. Highest point in MS. All of 806'. Just in case you decided to check it out- gravel road for about a mile- it can be really rough and washed out at times

Nice shot in MS...

I have never been above the I64 in WV, always below.

Paddled on the Lower New River at high water, under the high bridge (nearby the Gauley)
https://adventuresonthegorge.com/whitewater-rafting/lower-new-river-rafting-full-day/

Toured the glass company
https://blenko.com/collections/

Been by the Greenbrier but the parking lot was full of black Cadillac limos. I don’t think they wanted a kid
dressed in sneakers cutoffs tshirt inside.

Lots of rough country with twisty roads.

This was not the first time I enjoyed 48, the highway from nowhere to the middle of nowhere

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Route_48

It is very scenic, most of the time empty and before Davis it climbs to 3400 feet.

Grand Bend Festival of Speed. Doing some laps. Old bike, old guy, old leathers.

Here's the pic....

Wonderful weather, good time, nice bike

[Kelly E]

Here's the pic....

Hey, my old Spartan leathers look almost the same but both shoulders and sleeves are red.
The best part is that they still fit.

Awesome ride, looks nice!

Well I had the afternoon off and got out for a 40 mile ride up through the hills of Southern NH on the back roads including some dirt roads. It was a beautiful fall day of 76-82 degrees. The trees are starting to turn color.

I've never toured through NH Stu,even though I lived in MA. The scenes look good plus the color of your 750 
Where's the 'man on the mountain' in NH.? A guy told me it's part of a mountain that looks like a person.

[Kelly E]

The Man in the Mountain was the victim of erosion, and part of it crumbled.

It crumbled after they did the state quarters that featured it on the quarter.

The Old Man in the Mountains was up in Franconia Notch, north of me @2 hrs( if you take the highway). My ride yesterday was in the hills just 5 miles from my shop but with many little back roads to meander time slows down past a great many amazing views where farms were built and maintained from the 1600 and 1700s. NH has lots of good riding like these pictures show, as do most of New England, of dirt and small 2 lane roads to while away on.
Sadly the Old Man is no more,  his profile was the victim of was getting water in the cracks of the granite he was formed of and that water freezing over the eons and each year the cracks grew getting bigger as time silently marched by until early in the wee hours 20 years ago this past May, he fell off the ledge. I have many memories of stopping at Profile Lake over the years to see him. The road going through the Notch was just a 2 lane road until the 70s when they began widening it to an Interstate highway. It used to take 4 hrs going north from here, clogged with the many vehicles wanting a view of him.

Here's a good video on him.

70 Model CB750, bought used in 73; chopped in 75. A little prettier now and a little more functional. Ride it regularly.

Liners are back in the jackets! My buddy Gary pulled his GL1000 out of the shop and I rode the K1 today. Close to 50F and Sunny. Beautiful Fall colours all around. Time to drain the float bowls and blow out the jets. We’ll run the K4 and his old Trans Alp next time. After that it’s time to hide behind the Varadero’s windscreen!
