Gas powered bikes?

Looks like a S&S motor (hard to tell), kick start, springer front end and some god awful fishtail pipes. Sweet ride, minus that exhaust

my friends old rat
That looks like an old flathead. Springer fork? Any idea of the year on that one?

I really want to test ride this bike. The lowering suspension at stops is awesome. Reviews are strong on it.

I believe this one is available to ride. I'm not really into the front end assembly but the rest of the bike is pretty stellar looking. I was #4 of about 15 bikes waiting for same day service, i was the only one interested in this bike lol.
Pretty cool event at Cross Country in Metuchen, Sunday 10-4.

Demo the Triumph Tiger 900 vs the BMW F850GS. I can’t make it but I wish I could. Rare chance to compare back to back rides.

My friend got one over the last weekend. Apart from the engine heat, he likes it so far. All the 200 miles he managed to put on it
Anyone read Total Control by Lee Parks?
I decided to pick it up off Amazon recently and wow it’s filled with good stuff. The short chapter on Concentration is really good stuff. Could apply what he says not just to motorcycles, this book is great.

I knew of two V-Strom guys that took his course and said it was great.
I did, yes. It is super helpful. Got it from the local library and thinking of buying
I’ve been doing the MotoJitsu drills (great app btw). The white belt drills easy, blue belt doable, next level belts yikes.
This book is so detailed it’s a whole other level.
I have never heard about the app.. Thanks for the pointer!
I missed when you said it probably, but what bike are you riding?
I’m on the Ninja 400. Also occasionally on an old Honda CB, just depends if one is in the garage or not. Sold a 1971 CB350 I fixed up and flipped. The last project I had, 1972 CB175 unfortunately was parted out. Wiring harness was destroyed, cylinder scored, bottom end was alright but the kick start gearing had issues. I looked at the total cost to fix and it just wasn’t worth it so I made my money back on parts.
I found a CB360 on marketplace I may bring in, but they are more temperamental than the CB350s.
Never had enough time to tinker with the old bikes, unfortunately.. I'm riding Triumph Scrambler (the larger one) currently. It is so good to see that somebody else do parking lot practice
I thought I was the only one..

Interesting, I didn't realize this. I have a '74 360 stashed in my dad's garage. After riding it around as my first street moto, I prepped it for storage and stashed it in there when I got my red Yamaha.
I love the scramblers! My next bike is already on my mind. Love the retro look but want something that can at least handle the gravel roads around me here in Hillsborough. On the list is the Triumph Tiger, the Scrambler. Ducati Desert Storm, or a proper dual sport.Never had enough time to tinker with the old bikes, unfortunately..
