Agree about a good looking bike.  Shiny color.
Keep the history alive.
Seat design look similar as the old Suzuki T bikes with rivets.

I'm wondering too. I downloaded your pic and the details say it was taken 6 July, 2021 at 9:05am

Streets are still that quiet at 9:05?

Dead on the side of the road in Jeffersonville, Indiana.  This is probably the most realistic bike shot I'll get, as most of my vintage rides do this to me at least once.

Still chasing whatever keeps blowing the main fuse... .

Cold, overcast, but no rain today, so sneaked off from "work" (gotta love "Working from home"...) around lunchtime, and did a 130 mile pie run. I didn't see one other bike today, not even a Harley or a BMW! (the only brands I see out on the road once I get past city limits) ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Thanks gents! Guy I bought this thing from owned it for 25+ years.....he had acquired it after his best friend died who was the original owner. It surely is a mint ride.

Yes, for those of us old enough to remember, shades of "Omega Man" with Charlton Heston, one of my least favourite actors, but still a great film. ;D

Rode the "Big Bang" K4 yesterday, still running great since it was rebuilt 4 years ago.



I dont keep a log, but guessing I've put on 3000-4000 miles since the rebuild, still love the bike!

The odo flipped over 10,000 miles, but those are not the original gauges or motor!



And here's a link to the rebuild thread if anyone is interested...

Might be fantastic in the same outfit! Switch the light off.... ;D
But when comparing with our restored bikes with bore repair, restomod shocks, reshaping and skin adjustments. Like back in the days with minor patina.
