Wow, love those two Kawasaki's in the last photo. Somebody has really taken great care of those baby's or spent a lot of time and money getting them into that good of condition. They look ready to roll off the showroom floor. I guess I'm just an old fart, but I really like the style of those bikes better than the ones made today.

I would kill for that KZ1000.

Great shots, thanks for sharing these pics. I guess I'm a little prejudiced about the in-line twin since my Vulcan 500 is of similar design and although they may not be as visually appealing as the V-twins many modern bikes use today, those in lines seem to be superior performance motors to the V's in many respects.

This being a Vintage club, there are some nice bikes that show up.

V-twin vs inline twins usually is torque vs speed.

I traded the GZ for a Virago 250. It will go from 15 mph to 85 in 5th gear.

A lot of plus and minus between the two.

Barn find 8700 miles, 70's model GS 500.

Beautiful bike, but I'd hate to think what would happen to that big, round, chrome, thingummy, if the bike slipped forward off the side stand. :poorbaby:


Hey, half of the smilies have vanished! :??:

[Maggie]

wow, don't think I've ever seen such clean bikes!

AKA the 500 Titan Twin. The bike earned a reputation as being nearly bullet proof and very reliable.

What a bunch of great looking bikes!

:rawk:

Wheelie bar or support stand on the back of the Ariel?

[burkbuilds]

These pics are awesome JWR, thanks again for sharing them!

[JWR]

Those are some that you do not see everyday.

Yhanks

[diffluere]

Those are sweet bikes! I love that blue and white Yamaha. A guy that parks near me at school all the time has an old red Yamaha that looks similar to these bikes. I will take a better look next time I see it to figure out what it is.

Oh my, this latest batch of pics is impressive. The Triumph Thunderbird loooks to be a gentleman's bike. The Indian with the suicide shift is probably better now than when it was new.

[JWR]

That was the first for me seeing the Thunderbird.
I think the black Yamaha was the sharpest bike there tonight, not to take anything away from the others.

The neat thing about it is... they all get there on their own power.

[BillInGA]

More great photos! Thanks for posting these Jerry.

[bonehead]

I'd give a LN for any of them.

Not a trailer queen in the bunch. A lot of vintage bikes are also a daily rider for some folks. They don't just go to a show an shine on a weekend. My hat is off to them.

[Rookie Rider]

Really nice lookings bikes. And the first picture has no traffic on the street. Something i NEVER see living in New York, what a difference.
