Any Motorcyclists Out There?

Not sure yet. Don't have the complete picture in my mind. I like the blacked out cylinders or even completely blacked out. I'm thinking a tad on the rat rod side but good components. The guy I bought it from is building a CB350 cafe racer. I'm 6'3" so I need something with a bigger frame but I love the twins.

Wow, a lot of good looking bikes. Here are a few pics. of my 1972 Norton I restored.

VERY pretty! Great job! Is it a combat? Superblends in the lower end?

Yes, it's a Combat with Superblends. Also did an internal crankcase mod to help oiling. Bike has about 9,000 miles on it. Forums and owners group very helpful.

When I was a young man...

The most fun I ever had on dirt was a Suzuki RM-125. So light weight it was very quick handling. The lower power of the small motor kept you plenty busy searching the 6 gears for the right one. A very involved in the process type of bike, great fun! To old and to fat for that kind of bike now, but ah the memories... Sometimes, smaller is better, I like this picture as an example.

Ex,
Your photo and the clean simplicity of the bike reminds me about all "first bikes" growing up for others here too. Maybe the list below will jog some memories for others about what they had growing up.

I bet we could just have fun here with a thread on "Your first three motorcycles growing up as a young kid...". Mine, in order starting with these were:

-1972 Honda SL70
-1973 Honda XR75
-1975 Honda CR125M Elsinore

From there, in my teen years it was onto Yellow Yamaha YZs, etc. Today, werkin' on three Honda SL70s now taking three into two complete ones just for fun. Fun and clean little bikes. I'll insert a few more photos later...
