Nice pix.  The blossoms around here are falling off now.  We've had some wind and I made the mistake of leaving the shop door open.  Looks like it snowed in there.

I moved the K5 out from it's winter's nap storeroom last night, drained the 2 stroke oil out of the gas tank (winter pickling preventing rust) and the Marvel Mystery Oil from the carbs, put in fresh gas, cranked the starter until the oil light went out and switched to run and it fired up great as usual in the spring.
This afternoon I rode it to the local bike night and we had a great turnout for mid April here in NH. It was 65° here today but had a chilly north breeze and clouds moved in as the sun was going down so the ride home was brisk. It was well worth the ride.

Took the CB550 out today for a 25 mile loop.
Pictures were taken in the exact spot the camera man was on a iconic Rainier Beer Commercial in 1978 with a 1978 CB750K8.
video link below.
great memories from my childhood. nearly impossible to round the corner without  mimicking the commercial.
Sound on for sure!

Rainier has been 500 years since a major eruption, 44 years since nearby Mt St Helen's though which I remember as I was living in Colorado at 10,000' at the time and had ash there. My friends from high school were nearby camping in Washington when it erupted(I stopped by and saw them yesterday will out riding the 750 for it's 1st ride, a chilly ride, of the year)

I believe Rainier Beer was only sold locally. If you watch The video frame by frame you can see the bike very clearly.Not sure what the women moaning amongst the crickets at the end is all about? It was the 70's. Its likely is a brand new bike.Very fortunate to have these Twisties about 5 miles from my house.
