    That's an understatement. The Horton? Wow! And that 14R looks slightly modified. I wonder if it's into the eights yet in the quarter mile. Safely, of course.

            Yep, every Friday starting at 3pm....been doing it for 6 or so years....it's a thing from growing up in Ontario where we would have "meetings" in someone's garage on Thursdays.
            Guys love having a place to hang out for a couple of hours to talk bikes and other BS

                  It's owned by a buddy that used to own a bike shop....he made the bus to do trips to Baja and Moab etc to go dual sporting...it was a business for him....buy a ticket on the bus with your bike....he also would bring it to local supermoto races....quite the unit

                      I love the Honda CB750f in your Sept 17th set of pictures. Many fond memories and I wish I still had mine. But it was the bike I traded in to buy my first GS, a 1980 850 I kept for 37 years.

                      Believe in truth. To abandon fact is to abandon freedom.

                        Here is Hayabusa Nancy with Wes Cooley at my Wes party 5 years ago....and here bike....she told me a couple of weeks ago after wanting me to take it out for a spin as she's starting to loose some confidence that she has put in her will that she's leaving the bike to me...in fact she said she would likely give it to me sooner as she won't be riding it....made me cry. It's special bike....carbon fibre rims etc....

                          Exhaust is modified (right?), and it didn't come with carbon fiber wheels (did it?). I'm guessing it'll go north of 200 - the double buck! Is it a '94?

                          Now THAT'S a safety meeting!

                            Full Yosh exhaust, wheels are after market ($4,500) and it's a 1999...first gen. I rode with her many times and it's hilarious to watch the reaction from other bikers when we pull into a coffee shop...everyone is always gawking at her bike and when she takes off her helmet...well it's priceless...lol
