Meant to do more with the video so bike can be seen but as it turns out, chopping things off the bike makes it very hard to mount the camera anywhere  :o
So, I only have one spot on the handlebars where I can mount it. Bike is not much to look at anyway.

Thanks man! Yea, I turned into the grumpy cat when I made that turn and found that jackass doing whatever it was that he was doing. Glad I was paying attention.

I took my fully restore 500/4 for a ride today to chain of ponds in Adelaide, it was a perfect day for a ride at 23 degrees and clear blue sky's. The bike purred like a kitten.

Sharpe looking CB500 Paul 8) But 23 degrees , that just a little cool in my book. You must have some good cold weather riding gear ;)

Thanks, but that bike is too dirty, and has too much paint peeling from the painted parts to be calendar worthy.
Hmm, added the second pic. It must have not uploaded last time. Fixed it. :)

Intercoastal Waterway, I believe that is part of it. My sister lives in Delray Beach, so I am very familiar with the area. Will be there in a few weeks. Got an extra SOHC for rent?!

Regrettably, I have only the one right now. I will be getting three more in the next two years. I have it all planned out. Must get them before junkyard dust is going for $10k!

I just wanted to post a few photos from what seems to be the last day of riding this year. Winter is comming. Me and my friend Matti went for a drive, he has a nice café'd up CB650 1981.













Matti on his bike.

Druzli, your second from last picture of the two bikes on the snow would make a perfect winter shot for the calendar.  Really nice pictures!
