That's nearly identical to mine except for your seat and turn signals. Even the color is the same. Did yours have the funky cam chain hitting the tensioner noise that many develop?

I bought a brand new Harley Softail Springer in '97. The only new vehicle I have ever owned. I still have it, and still ride it. I currently have 89,000 miles on it. The old springers always "looked correct" to me. No windshield, of course. Took it to Sturgis 3 times, and many, many other rallies. I have thought about selling it, but I just can't do it!!

Not near as impressive as your guy's bikes, but this is my latest purchase. A 1981 Honda XL250S. My son just purchased the yellow DRZ400S and I couldn't keep up with him on my CT90!

I think I've showed this before....one of the coolest bikes I ever had...one of the first of the "sportbikes" 10,500 RPM redline in 1975!

Taking a trip down memory lane. I had this from the late seventies to the late eighties.
