OK gang, I've been snapping pics here and there but have been lazy about sharing them. Some of these are definitely better than others, but I hope that you find a few that you enjoy. Click pics for the full rez versions on flickr.
Seca Turbo. I wasn't quite willing to kneel down in the middle of the road to try to get a shot of the actual turbo, but I did get close enough & low enough to verify that it's there. It looks less rough in the pics than in real life, you can see a bit of rash at the rear part of the red stripe on the upper fairing. Judging by how the instruments & controls look, I am almost certain that this is an unrestored survivor:
I don't know how to tell if this little beauty is a 500 or 750, but it's a cool bike in any case, and it shows plenty of signs of being a daily rider. I have a feeling that those calipers look familiar to some CBX'ers here. :) A bit of trivia for you - an Interceptor 500 was the first bike I ever rode. I had never been on a motorcycle or had any instruction, but I had the misplaced faith of my buddy Gary. I was 17, I think, and I rode out my driveway, across the street, up the neighbor's driveway, and smashed into the corner of his garage. Embarrassing then, but luckily Gary was too busy laughing his guts out to be too upset.
Here's an oddity that probably doesn't fit the theme of this thread if we're gonna be strict, but I still feel compelled to share. An old CB converted to electric:
A workhorse if ever there was one! My cousin's 1999 VFR. He bought it in 2002, I think, and has racked up something like 250,000 km on it. He swears that he's never going to sell it, or paint it. It's been down a few times, and every time he repairs cosmetic damage, he crashes it again, so he sees pristine bodywork as bad luck. This was taken on our recent trip to Montreal:
A couple of old Nighthawks, baby bear & mamma bear:
I see this nice old Hawk GT around town now and then and am always glad when I do:
From the sea of riders at my mechanic's shop...
A ratty old BMW:
A VT500:
Is this an XS650?
You see this ridiculous scooter and you feel a strong urge to laugh at the rider until you see that sticker and realize that he's an Ironman finisher. He could paint this thing pink with rainbow streamers and he'd still get PROPS FOR LIFE!
That's all I have for now. I hope you liked at least a bit of it.
