Vintage Motorcycles

Not only is it now boating/skiing season, its time to start riding too. I just picked up an '82 CB750 F Super Sport a month or so back. A fun, vintage old bike that runs strong and fast and is all orginal.

Any other bikers in the CCF family? Lets see 'em, or hear about 'em. If you are in Chicago or Milwaukee, lets plan a ride sometime.

I have 2002 Roadking Classic and am slowly (and by slowly I mean it is currently on hold) building a 1979 Yamaha Xs650 bobber.

Here's my '82 CB 900F.....a big brother to your 750. Its been a great bike since I bought it new....now has about 23,000 on it. I didn't really think of it as "vintage" yet. Warm temps brought it out for the season today.

I'm not sure about vintage but being a anniversary model it will be.

I'm about an hour north of Madison, not far from Beaver Dam.

Nice looking bikes all guys! Its interesting seeing what everybody on here is riding.

I had to put my sunglasses on to look at the chrome on that Wide Glide

Any other bikes on here....vintage or not?

Shot of my '96 Heritage Classic. That is me and the famous '79 Nautique. Will never sell this ride.

Like the bike Tom but like the dog in the background even better. Had a Springer, Ms. Mindy for 14 years, lost her to a stroke and still miss her to this day. Got more pics?

My very first ride and drive on a bike was on a Triumph Bonneville when I was about 14 or 15. Remember Bill? I loved them bikes for a long time...till my buddy got a Norton and had lots of trouble with it. But he does still own it.

John, I will start a dog thread:)

I'm not into cruiser bikes, but most guys that are like my bike because it sounds great. It is a 1000cc liquid cooled DOHC EFI V twin. It does about 175mph as it is. It's a fun bike that I have personally ridden from the Oregon and California coast all the way to Maine.

Since we are talking about bikes, is anyone heading up to the AMA races at Road America in Elkhart Lake WI from the 3-6 of June?

I will be there with my fiance, and I will be there all week pretty much.   

This year the Harley guys have something really interesting to watch this year. Road race converted sportster XR 1200's will be taking on the 4 mile track as a first since they tried this with modded 883s a few years back.

I'm pretty impressed with this picture of a racer (Eric Stump) trying one out at RA just last weekend. Its a stock sportster with a race kit that is basically suspension and a different pipe for ground clearance.

Learned to ride on one of these:


One of these was my first bike (should have kept it)


Had one of these (really should have kept it, turned it into wife's tuition)


Had one of these:


Currently have this one:

If I were to buy a sporty touring bike, the aprilia Futura, yamaha FJR, and the Triumph sprint ST would be at the top of the list.

Did your Honda cbr600F3 come with that centerstand from the factory?

I won't be riding with you guy's anytime soon ,but I still have my 1st bike- it's the same year as my boat

That's awesome. I was looking on one of those but I can't believe how expensive they are nowadays.

That Z50 is freakin' awesome, and was also was my first bike. I think it was '72 or '73. It burned up in a house fire . I told my wife that if she's looking for my next birthday gift, a sweet CT70 would be nice. I gave her a Craigslist ad that had a nice Trail 70 for $750. She didn't bite. I just bought a third Quad, and two SeaDoos, so my Craiglist buying has been put on hold.

When one travels across the entire state of Kansas to get to the mountains of Colorado a back rest is appreciated. The arm rests are there so that Tina can sleep.

Yes Kansas is the land where the "Flint Hills" are the attraction. They remind me of hills with grass growing on them . . . I found the best attraction in Kansas to be the giant Windmill farm, I really did find that kind of fascinating.
