Well, not really far outdoors. In fact just, outside the garage door!

My US spec 11/70 750 K1 is currently being recommissioned and wasn't entirely dressed for the photos with my 76 Z900. Sadly I'm not able to drive and ride until 2nd July as I'm recovering from an illness, but the sun came out a few weeks ago here in Farnham, Surrey, UK so I couldn't resist wheeling the old girls out for a photo or two.

They look good. The garage door look good too.

Many thanks, as for the garage door it's a new electric one as my wife (or someone else) drove into the old one!  ::)

The CB restore/rebuild/modify virus is better and almost without a cure!
Keep the distance to other people and eat well with extra vitamins + minerals to build up max strenght when the virus will come on a visit. Just a matter of time.

Why start a new thread??
http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,45183.7725.html#lastPost

That thread is sleepy.  It has served its purpose since 2009. Not easy for newbies like me and others to find. You have to go to page 3. Swipe up 7 times, hit page 310 with a fat finger to get to it. This new one because of the short title with “photos” as the first word is good for newbies with short attention span.  Seems like we could keep it on page 1 and maybe help the Bike of the month thread because of more photos with background. A bike of the month or year should be running.  😀

155 pages of SOHC bikes out on the road and last post in Feb 2020 (including one from you) is hardly sleepy  ;) All you have to do is hit "reply' and hey presto you upload your photo of your bike with some excellent scenery behind it. Simple, no?  8) Even with someone with limited attention span can get that.....

"Lets see photos of your SOHC bike out doing what it does best -riding! Scenic shots, racing shots etc etc are all welcome...just no garage shots - save that for the project thread  ;). PLEASE ALSO ADD THE LOCATION WHERE THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN - thank you and have a great ride!"

Did you get any pics from up there.

If it sounds like I know what I'm talking about, it's because I cut and pasted from someone else.

This gives me an idea. Next time I ride to work I'm going to take a pic by our tower. Some murals were just painted on the outside, including a huge American Flag.

This was in WI at the Pimpzilla ride a few years ago. We met at old scramblers (Dennis) for a nice ride and exchange of the mascot. I hope I got this from left to right is Dennis, Johnie, Trevor, Jerry, Sean and Tews.
