And I own 5 bikes that are all over 30 years old, I was merely making a jest at how a good percentage of the bikes posted are 2000 or newer.
On a related note, that is a nice shovel you have. The new color fits the bike better than the green I think
Thank you! Let's see some pics of some of your old bikes. I love old bike projects. Here is a picture of a friend's ironhead project, almost ready for the road.

Now, you're blaming Linda? What's next, late night slow (accompanied) walks through Walmart?

Isn't it strange that after a bombing, everyone blames the bomber, his upbringing, his environment, his culture, his mental state but … after a shooting, the problem is the gun?
My Uncle Frank was a staunch Conservative and voted straight Republican until the day he died in Chicago. Since then he has voted Democrat. Shrug
Attached is an updated look at my rig from the winter after I finished the upgrades. For now I am happy with the look of the rig with the exception of maybe changing to tractor seats on the bike.
Changes: removed the sidecar windshield, added the sidecar bumper and LED driving lights. I just ordered a H4 reflector lense last night to update the color the headlight to match the driving lights.
heres my 91 nighthawk, its my first street bike, so far i love it its almost like new has 17000 miles on it i added the fairing still need to paint it though
I have every intention of putting this on the road by next season now that fiero is done. I've been sitting on it for at least 6 years. Had it running shortly after I got it as a barn find, but I had some gearbox oil foaming so I need to rebuild the crank (seals). I'll have to ship that out as its not something I think I could do correctly precisely on a triple 2 stroke. I don't see many of these around much anymore.

I like the expansion chambers! Keep us updated and we need video with sound when you fire it up.
Heres mine! Kinda an oddball bike, but I do like Fiero's so naturally I was attracted to this... Its a 1980 Yamaha XS850 Triple! I traded my car for it, straight up and rode it home after getting my permit a day before . It was a very ugly thing when I first got it, but with a few upgrades she's sitting pretty!
Since the pictures were taken, I shortened my rear fender, flipped the bars, and am building a much better 3-1 exhaust!
Fear not I still have my Fiero, I traded my Ford Focus I got for 400 bucks! Booyah! The bike is extremely well maintained, and came with a long service history

I had an XJ (More or less an XS) 400 for a while. Nice looking bike. Fun to ride. Revved up to insane RPMs beautifully. Paid $150 for it.
Oh, look, it's on page 4 of this thread. Been hanging around here too long. That was years ago...
