@Eichhörnchen
You know you can put more than one picture in a post?

Here is my ride from a bad angle:



And after some rain:

I never progressed beyond the 500-4 and soon became involved with the consequences of crazy motorists actions which put me right off bikes.

Precisely! Plus every one I know has ultimately been in a serious or fatal accident. It's a % thing and with the amount of regular driving and sleeper-team'd SEMI-trucks at the time...ad reducto risko if ya wanna see 64! Made my brothers quit once their kids arrived-live daddies required here!...for once they saw the light. My sister in law, a giantess of a probation officer, just totaled her lower leg in a rear-ender on her Harley Sportster; healed up and got back on a new one and just did the Sturgis SD rendezvous.

My last Honda was a 750 SS. Kind of custom though.


Nancy's first bike was a Triumph that I rebuilt for her.

Well, it's just like putting one picture into a post. You upload the image, copy the link, insert it into the post. Upload the next picture, copy the link and insert it under the first one in your post and so on... really simple.

Nice Trumpets.

I stay away from Donor Cycles. I've seen too many riders get racked up.

What's that CBR stand for ... Crotch busting Rocket?

Can't Beat Roadrunner. That dude is just too fast....ah well it's a 250 and tops out at about 140km/h / 85 mph.
But it's an efficiency monster that costs very little to purchase and operate.

Seriously though from what I hear the CB used to stand for 4 cylinder in line engines, the R for Racing (or simple a sport bike configuration) that the older CBRs all had. However that has changed over the decades and now even my single cylinder and two cylinder bikes hav the CBR name attached to them most likely just to boost sales with a well known name as they don't have much in common with the original 4 cylinder CBRs.
