Snapped this at our village fete recently. Pics don't do justice to the superb condition that this bike was in.
THAT is a beauty

i pick this one up last year. it needed some work (carb rebuild, new brakes, fork seals, chain, etc.) but hey....i only paid $300 for it.
as you can probably tell i added a few things (clip-ons, integrated mirrors). since the last pic i've added a lunchbox k&n vance & hines full exhaust, sargent seat, & a wind scren.

ph33nyx, is that a GS 500? What year?
I helped a good friend of mine (actually the guy who introduced me to DE shaving) buy one a few years ago.
Here's a pic of my ride:
And the one I'm working on getting back on the road:

yea...it's a '90 gs500. it only had 12k miles on it when i got it. is that an sv you've got there?
I ride a Harley 1200 Sportster. I don't have any pictures now. There are some nice bikes posted here. I really like the Royal Enfield and the CB750. Does anybody have some crazy 2-strokes like "Whispering Death" or maybe abn RZ-350?

Here she is. A brief stop two weeks ago on a 500 mile ride.
south on the PCH highway one, north on highway 101 through the farms. Two days. Nice.

Yep.
2002 SV650. I bought it in 2006 with 2900 miles on it and it has just over 14.5K now.
The other one is a 1975 Moto Guzzi 850T with a sidecar (obviously).
12K on that GS is pretty good, especially for 300 bucks.
Here's mine, with my lovely bride, on PCH:
And also in front of Mission San Miguel:

One of mine. Burns a little oil but goes down the road just fine.
Oh, Nemo. . . . Nice toaster. I know a few beemer riders in your neck of the woods. . . .
This was my last bike. Still miss it sometimes. My wife preferred it.
piper....that's one sweet k1200. i was looking at a '08 triumph sprint st recently for something a little more "user friendly" on the long rides. wait....looks like it a r1150rt. still sweet - wish i could afford one.

Nice GS! I inherited an 83' GS650 GL from a friends' grandfather when he passed away a few years ago. Its been a very slow project for me, as I know nothing about bikes. Not to mention moving to Canada and having the bike at my folks house in the US...I'll have to get it back.

bike.
I'm an old motorcyclist, although I haven't been on a motorcycle very much lately. Old age (61) is creeping up on me, I find.
I have a couple of motorcycles...one, I bought new, a '78 Yamaha SR 500...the street version of Yamaha big torquey single...kickstart only. They were first introduced as 1978 models and mine is # 209, off the assembly line.
The other motorcycle I have is a '67 Matchless 750cc Scrambler. Matchless and Norton were both part of AMC , an old English motorcycle company. This bike of mine came as either a Norton, Matchless or AJS and they were primarily designed for desert racing in California, Nevada, etc. They were also known as Desert Sleds.
AMC shoehorned the Norton Atlas 750 engine ...twin Amals, sports cam, skid plates, elongated+ beefed up Roadholder forks, Lyta racing gas tank, etc...into the lighter Matchless frame.
