1984 FJ1100

One of these days I’m going to have to get my hands on one of these.

In honor of my Kawasaki KZ650!

In honor of the KZ 650 that I’m going to pick up after work today I’m posting this pic of what I hope mine will look like when I’m done with it.

Another Beautiful CBX Custom Streetfighter.

This is one bold bike.

WOW! 13 thousand hits!

I never thought this little hobby would ever get noticed beyond a few friends who check in once in a while! Thanks to everyone for stopping by and I hope you’re enjoying it. Like I said a while back, I realize that if you’re going to call yourself the “whatever – of the day” that you have a certain responsability to that. I’ve enjoyed it and I’ll work hard to keep that up.

In the mean time don’t be shy about sending in your reader rides! I KNOW there are lots of beautiful bikes hiding in shops and garages out there. Show them off!

Amazing Race pictures from the Boston Globe of the Australian GP.
