cheers guys! 750cafe, the problem is i could've filled 100 pages with pictures... so many bikes, i had to restrain myself.
here's one more. hugo loves these old rumis, has 2 of them himself. this is him with 2 guys he knows from a forum.


I saw your bike near the entrance, had I known it was yours I'd kept an eye out for you.
Mine was parked at the CBFour clubstand, did you happen to come by there?
Here are some more pics of the event...

awesome! yes i saw the stand, i walked around everywhere.
you also took a lot more pics of great bikes which is nice to see. i was kind of in a dilemma: go crazy and photograph absolutely everything or just take a few shots and grab a beer.... the beer won ;)

Is there anything more fun than riding? They are between your legs and are quiet when you turn them off.

Finished this 10/69 KO in September. Engine number 1010003. Always wanted the blue/green and my painter did an awesome job on it. The gold tank stripe is not a decal, but is painted on there. Also got some "unstamped" 300's for it.

That bike is so beautiful I have to nitpick the only "flaw" I see: shouldn't the caliper be black?

Danny...the sandcast and KO's came OEM with aluminum colored calipers. The black started with the K1. Good eyes though my friend. Nothing wrong with giving her the "look over".
