The Vancouver Island Custom show is on again. We're in a minority there but still having fun!

Great looking bikes Cliff!! Are the 350 & CBX yours as well? I'm already envious of your 'Twins'!  8) 8)

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong.

No, but I'd like them! The 350 belongs to a friend of mine who bought it from the original owner who may buy it back from my friend. The CBX is owned by another friend who is the owner of the Harley dealership here. It was a trophy winning hill climber and restored back to it's original glory.

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

Those are some fine looking machines. To my untrained eye, everything looks stock except the rear shocks? They weren't chrome were they?

Hillclimbing? Yes, just like that and the sound was something else. Steve Drane, the owner/hillclimber, is a bit of a legend around here even though I don't think he's 55 yet.
Shocks? One 750 had stock shocks, the other has Konis that I put on around 1972. The Konis and TT100's saved on from a major disaster on the way to Whistler one Sunday long ago.

Hillclimbing CBX... I initially thought along these lines:  http://www.ppihc.com/.  But the Widowmaker style, wow.
