2008 Honda CBR100RR. I am due for my first scheduled 3000 mile oil change! Let's just say I don't ride it very much... Of course, behind it we have a very effective way to piss off the neighbors. 50cc Chinese something or other that the neighborhood kids can't get enough of (it'll do about 40mph on Avgas )

Those are a bunch of neat looking bikes. I just wish I was a little younger and maybe I'd have one. I figure that at my age, I was ninety testerday, I'm lucky as hell to be able to still ride my '05 Vespa GT200L Motor Scooter the seventy five mile round trip to my hangar at the Amador County Airport every day. That delicate Italian Stallion weighs in about 315 pounds and if it falls down there's no way I can pick it up without help. I kind of sweat it out every day. Hopefully, I don't go on my deriere.
I'm not much into street bikes but I've had a Yamaha Enduro 175 since 1979. My dad bought it for me way back when, brand new. I ride it on the weekends with my kids just like my dad did till i was old enough to solo it.
Lots of fun.

Ok the story is nice but a picture would be better.

Only has about 2200 miles on it too. We used it on the farm to inspect fence rows. I've kept it going all these years, still hits on the first kick. I've even managed to keep the tool kit with it.
Yes my '78 CB750 is stock, or at least it could be if I removed the bolt on cowl, seat and sissy bar. I've got the original seat which has never been riden on. It's got about 18000 on it. I've not riden it since 2008 since I bought by Harley Ultra Classic. I've owned it since about 1981 and it just become part of the scenery though I'd just about give it to someone who would love and appreciate it.
I have no pictures handy of my Harley that I bought after making the mistake of renting an 06 Fat Boy for the afternoon at the 08 Branson Convention and falling for that thump thump Harley sound.

The exhaust is my favorite part. Absolutely stunning!!! I knew My hunch to ask to see you bike was a good one!
The '77 CB750 was essentially the same as you know. And yes the exhaust is one of the things that makes this bike and why the stock exhaust is still on mine today despite that it's been shot for at least 15 years. I understand they are now making exact repos of the exhaust but before that replacements had all but disappeared making a good set of 4 pipes worth as much or more than the rest of the bike. The repos are still selling for as much as the rest of the bike because they can demand it.

Thanks! The bike's a whole lot easier to keep shiny, though! The color match was just luck of the draw, plus with the new paint, they're a little different now! I swear I'm gonna post some pics, I just need a sunny day and the time! Just got home with it yesterday.
2010 HD Dyna without the bags on. This was taken on the day the plate holder gets changed to something nicer than the ugly stand-up one. One of five bikes currently owned. Three of which are going to be sold, (a BMW R69s, and two matching CT70 1970 Hondas).
