I don't ride, but I am into vintage twin shock dirt bikes, and have owned a '73 Suzuki TS-185, a '78 Maico Magnum-400, a Yamaha PW-50 (for my son), and currently own a few Indians from that era, including this one, a '77 MI-175.

Now, after a 20+year hiatus from the dirt, I am back in it with vintage motocross.
I must say that with my return to the dirt 3 yrs ago, I have won two back to back class championships in our local motocross series on vintage yamaha YZ's.

Slowpoke. Come out to the National Forest sometime for some real ridding.

I sold this one just a couple of years ago. Bought it not running with some missing parts and brought it back to life over the winter. I wasn't using it much so I put it up for sale. It is a '72 Triumph TR/6C.



Before that one I did the same thing with a '71 BSA Lightning.



And here is an old picture of the '85 TR/6R that I bought right out of high school.

My father had a '72 BSA 650-Lightning when I was a kid...would like to have one just like it someday just for nostalgia reasons.

Picked up this 2001 Yamaha Roadstar about six months ago:


After I move, I need to start looking for another Pontiac, been away for too long!

Used to own this 1982 Honda V45 Sabre.



Sold the V45 last summer and bought this '84 Yamaha FJ1100:



And most recently I bought this cafe' racer project for $200. 1975 Yamaha RD 350.

Wow , some way cool bikes . Especially the vintage stuff.

I never owned a bike growing up , my son now 12 yrs old, has been riding since he was 5.
I ended up getting a dirt bike two years ago and have been learning to ride motocross (at 43 yrs old) It isn't as easy as it looks . My hats off to Mr. Navarro...

Here is my sons KX85
For a small bike , it rips pretty good .

Just bought this motorcycle this year. It's been 35 years since my last bike. Looking forward to the nice weather in the spring so I can get it and the convertible cruis'n on the road.

Here are a couple of my 95 Bad Boy that I bought new in Marietta GA.

I've had a bunch of bikes over the years, but here are pictures of the two Harleys. The first is a 1991 Sportster 883 deluxe in Vivid Yellow (actually orange) and the second is a 1997 Fat Boy in Patriot Red Pearl.

I have one of those, a '71. It was a true barn find, it had been parked for probably 30 years or more. The motor was seized so that was a bunch of work to fix, but cosmetically it's about 90% original and just needed a lot of cleaning. Your TS50 looks real clean.

2003 Triumph Speedmaster.......

Here is how I got it ..... 1600mi on it


and yes..... We had paint left over from the GTO paintjob...

[sport coupe]

An old picture 1965 Norton N15CS. Could not get it started last year. Maybe this year. Trying to kick it over is a bummer.

thats it, i still remember like yesterday when i bought it. just a few days later i had a wreck on it that put me in the hospital. my dad was a home builder and owned like 4 lots side by side and my buddies and i made a track on them. a neighbor that hated the fact that we rode our motorcycles on it, dug a big hole in the night and covered it with weeds and dirt. when i went over it, the front tire hit the other side of it propelling me several feet and i hit my head on a big rock. it cracked a bell helmet down the middle. lucky i didnt break my neck. i remember the police talking to the guy but with no proof nothing ever happened legally. i do remember he put his house up for sale and moved right after that.

Hopefully he didn't move away before your Dad could meet him in a dark alley and work him over.

Shawn....I see you replaced the S&S Cover in bottom picture with a ...what is that?

It looks very cool...almost like a Pontiac Poverty Hub Cap.
