New member- Omaha Nebraska
« on: June 11, 2011, 02:07:05 PM »
Hey all.  New member to this forum.  Just under 2 decades on a motorcycle.  Last few years been really putting lots of miles on, road tripping, etc.  Recently did 1,943 solo miles on a trip from Phoenix, El Paso, San Antonio, Oklahoma City, ending in Omaha.  Great adventure!

Old Ride:  1982 CB650.  Owned since 1994.  Just located a NOS, still in original box, Vetter fairing specifically for this bike.  Going to see if it improves the ride on those loooong rides!

Newer ride: 2004 Triumph Daytona 955i:  You know... just for fun!

Plus a couple dirt bikes, etc.

That's the motorcycle basics. 

See you on the road!
Come on!  We're burning daylight!

Ahh... what the heck.. had some time to kill this afternoon, so I shot a couple videos of the CB650 and uploaded them to youtube.

Search "1982 Honda CB650 walk around".  Screen name on youtube is 'oldleafers'.  I'm not much of a video guy, so they're good for a laugh or two.

Later.
Come on!  We're burning daylight!

Always good to see another Nebraskan on this site. These old bikes ride much nicer than old Bulls!  :o
