Here it is--parked on the road--in front of a special cemetery in Lienz, Austria. Check out this link for the story (i.e., Massacre of Cossacks at Lienz) behind it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repatriation_of_Cossacks_after_World_War_II

Yes, that's a shameful story.

Same for soldiers of ROA, who actually saved Prague in May 1945 only to be handed over to KGB.

Thanks. After this shot, my friend and I did it about three more times but couldn't get any better photos, so we gave up and left.

tfrasca's 550 pic... that came through my Instagram feed the other day (via hondacaferacers). I always wonder when I see SOHC stuff in my feed if anyone is a member here.

At the Lorem Ipsum Vintage MC Rally in Viroqua, Wisconsin. My '75 CB550K is parked right next to the early-50s Vincent in the foreground. First time I ever actually saw a Vincent machine. It started on the second kick.

Lorem ipsum? Did they put out flyers with placeholder copy still in there?

Rad! Those guys have shared a few of my photos since I built the 550. It's always cool to see how the communities are connected.

Thanks man. The fender really helps stiffen up the front end for landings... Just kidding, it still feels like the fork legs are a couple of wet noodles!

'75 550 on the Blue Ridge Parkway this weekend.

Had a blast around Lexington, Va this weekend. I put about 400 miles on it, avoided hitting three deer, a turkey, a quail, several rabbits, and even a dog.

A beautiful weekend with my bike on the Romanians roads:

Very nice pics of a route, I have not done yet. The camera makes me sea sick though. :)
