At the bank yesterday, sunshine early, showers in a while hampered my ride.

Andy, congratulations, your thread has garnered 10000 posts, excellent!

Congratulations Kevin couldnt have happened to a nicer guy! When I started this thread in 2009 it was because I wanted to see other SOHCs out in the open air (and not just in the garage) being used for their intended purpose and your photos have always been in that spirit.

Great to see so many photos from everyone over all these years.

This thread is nice to follow and get ideas about riding.
Not only wrenching, our bikes need to be ridden too ;)

All photos nice for all, even no longer riding bikers that can enjoy and remember.

For me,  a window to other worlds than I see and ride in.
