did i mention that "baby" (my 350f) and i did a 200 mile ride on saturday? the "old bike ride 4" we went up lookout mountain, thru golden gate canyon state park, thru nederland and ward, then up flagstaff mountain.

the pic is at the top of flagstaff mountain which overlooks boulder, co.

check out the 38 and 45 Indians in the very back. they chugged their way around the ride too. i think there were at least 50 bikes total. most of which were older than 1975 which is what the "old bike" in "old bike ride 4" means...

p.s. that's elizabeth (the gf) on my bike.

the competitive blood runs thick here...

plus, i really felt the need to share that "the little 350 that could" once again surprised me by not exploding during another grueling ride. it was great to flick the bike on all those switchbacks and mountain twisties. a true superbike... with a tiny-sized motor

Paul · « **Reply #7 on:** May 18, 2006, 04:12:20 AM »

Well, I think a bit of history here...considering whats at stake..

I decided I needed a hobby, Never had, drove (really) or worked on a bike before...so after a while found this mess (I was robbed

friend of mine used to have one), dragged it sideways, bleeding and leaving a trail of rusty metal along the path to the trailer. (My kids were crying when I got home "Dad told lies...he said he was getting a bike")
Jesus..www.what to do now...anyway, took off a bit, another bit, another and before I knew it I had the bare frame surrounded by bags and boxes of bits.
Because this was a hobby, It was never to leave my workshop. except for coating the frame and re-bore, everything else was done with the assistance of (in order of importance) 1. My wife. 2. Mr Bryan Jones, 3. My wife. 4. SOHC4, 5 DSS.
Very few parts were bought (well apart from Chains, sprockets, pistons etc and a front "fender".
year & half later (After a minor setback) this cranked up after only three kicks...She has never let me down a day since....(Bike either

)

being a mod i can see that not very many people have voted $:-\$

2000 users and 22 votes... not a great turnout.

don't just talk about it... vote about it

p.s. i'm not telling who's winning.

only 41 votes so far out of 2225 members

i wish i could tell my secret about who's winning. i can not. but, when there are two mods in the contest er, um, i mean two bikes that belong to mods in the contest... is it fair that two contestants know the score?

Doesn't matter whether you are a mod or not - you still only get one vote!

(shame)...

Gordon · « **Reply #18 on:** May 26, 2006, 02:41:34 PM »

You should post in the open forum to let people know about the contest, and put a link to this thread in it. I didn't even notice the "bike of the month" section for a long time because I get used to only looking at certain sections of the main page.

toycollector10 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 27, 2006, 09:56:10 PM »

Moderators, is it ethical for me to vote for my own bike??

I am slipping in the page views and find myself moody and staring blankly out of the window for hours on end.....

Ok, besides "hard finding" this link, it is really hard to decide between this lineup. Bob's looks nice in the traditional looking backyard. Heffay's really looks the moddest, and is on the dirt on a mountain, gaining points. Paul's has the same color as mine and looks to be a stock restore done well. The last red one is enhanced by the helmet and the riders around.

I went through the picks a lot of times and decided to vote for Bob's, almost Heffay's, and then the red toy.
Reason Bob got the nod, I saw what appeared to be the polished up caliper and the master cylinder for the front. I figured there was a lot of work put in all of them, and being so newb on these bikes I wasn't sure who worked the most at it. They all look so much better than my 78K any one could win.
Bob and Heffay were both cool mods to me, and I don't think Paul had to chew me out yet, and then toycollector almost got it with his staring out the window thing. I guess Paul's comments were the ones that didn't tug at the vote string at all.
Paul got beat in the pic setup-, not on his bike work, IMO, everyone else has nature in there, and Paul's has the white brick wall, that biased me some.

I've been reduced to voting for my self ....Bob, heffay, paul...make sure you counter by voting for yourselves, unless you want to vote for me

mikeb4 · « **Reply #22 on:** May 28, 2006, 07:03:46 PM »

All of the bikes look great!~

We have the same thing going over at the ZRXOA group, it's a lot of fun but run differently than this contest.

I'm looking forward to just seeing all of the awesome bikes in this SOHC group

My first post here, and I have picked my pony, I have to finish my many projects so I can have pics worth showing! Beautiful selection, was hard to pick my fav.

bill440cars · « **Reply #24 on:** May 29, 2006, 03:42:07 PM »

I'll tell ya they are all worthy. I'd hate to be a judge and have to pick one. Bob and toycollector's bikes are great looking but, so are Paul and heffay's. There are loads of others on this site that are great examples also. Great job guys. Later on, Bill

Terry,
I got a naked Wing. 1975 and really low #. I got it a couple week's ago and rode with 4 other Wing's to Glenwood Springs. What a great ride it was. It was it's mayden voyage. and ran great. I'll have it at the meeting Thursday at the Club 404.

cb650 · « **Reply #26 on:** May 30, 2006, 04:06:23 PM »

Is that the rusty nuts meet? Where is the club 404? Is that a new place or they change names?

Terry

toycollector10 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 30, 2006, 08:53:13 PM »

Hi, have you got a pic of your new 'Wing?...a great year too.....Congratulations on your find !!

78 k550 · « **Reply #28 on:** May 30, 2006, 10:12:50 PM »

Toy,
thank's, it was such a treat to ride except for the massive head wind most of the way. There where 5 of us 84 and older wing's. one had to turn back do to an overheating issue. So 4 carried on to Glenwood Springs. Then one to Reno 4 back to Denver. It was a blast. We rode about 60 miles between rest interval's. If you want to do some reading on it here is a link http://www.nakedgoldwings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1876 RR, live's in Reno bought a 76 from another member on the board. Flew out there and rode it back. What a trip that would of been. Here are the pics. http://www.nakedgoldwings.com/gallery/get2006 I dont have any resized or I would of post some up.

Terry,
It's The Denver Rusted Nut's. http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/denverrustednuts/
They welcome anything 20 years and older, We did an Old Bike Run 4th one a yearly event. You had to be on 1975 or older, with few exception's. We do an offical meet first thursday of every month at the club 404 4th and Broadway. And an unofficail one every third friday. It is fun. Hope to see you there.

Paul

toycollector10 · « **Reply #30 on:** May 31, 2006, 01:29:44 AM »

Thanks for that Paul,

I saw a stock standard '75 nekid on a recent ride and I wanted one. It was the light blue color, fantastic. The '75 is obviously 31 years old. That was the first year of manufacture wasn't it? Vintage.

My feeling is that every subsequent re-hash of any particular model just waters down it's essence. But then again, I'm biased

Toy,
That is correct. 1975 is the first year. Mine was built in 01/75

I'm keeping mine naked. Already have 1,600 mile's on since 3:00 last Sat.

It is great to ride.
