i have my eye on this 68 Honda CB 350.  any of you honda guys have any knowledge about this year ..  pros cons..

i don't know anything about bikes. 

thanks in advance

I totally understand the deathwish thing.... then again, I skateboard, I've deployed a few times in the military to hostile environments, I've jumped out of perfectly fine aircrafts, and I've gone headfirst through a windshield, so maybe I just don't learn my lesson

Heh, my brother did two tours in Iraq, 101st Air Assault, combat ops and convoy security. He skates, too. He also wants a bike really bad.

I worked at the NY auto expo this spring which is basically all cars and trucks, but these were the only motorcycles there. I don't know much about motorcycles but I thought these looked crazy. I bet they cost a shit ton of money.

[HATE!]

I am looking at restoring an old Norton Commando when I get back from Afghanistan next year.  Pretty psyched.

[friendly dave]

Got this bike a few months ago for free. I've been tinkering with it, hopefully it's closer to running.

[HubbaAdsGiveMeBoners]

Finally got to ride this yesterday, so sick.

[floop]

this is my thang.
i have different exhaust on it now though.
its tucked away for the nebraska winter.
so much better than driving a car.

What up.

took the MSF motorcycle training class over the weekend (passed)  .  been searching bikes pretty hard lately, but waiting for the right one. either one of these would be up my alley though.  definitely dig the honda cb's .   going to look at a 350 this weekend

i love triumphs but don't want to spend that much coin at the time (6 to 8 grand)..     anyhoo..   i'll post my bike when i get it (which should be soon.  as soon as i take the friggin dmv test and find something)

[RipGrip]

OOOOOhhh man

[Smell Good]

Old Honda CBs are sick. Especially when they've been Cafe'd.

Cafe appreciation?!

[floop]

got this today



73 honda cb350 four

gonna take it to this guy and have him go though it, clean it up, and paint it black.  pretty stoaked on it for a first bike

[nocomply]

I love old Honda motorcycles. Congrats.

[HATE!]

Very cool!  I am missing my Bonnie right now, something fierce.  I am really playing with the idea of restoring an old Commando, but I wanna chop up an American bike with a homie when I get home too.  Total junkyard bike.

[homo sacer]

got an '81 yamaha xs1100. scares me. I need to sit down and fuckin rebuild it for the knowledges. so lazy/restless/scared.

1600.  it's running but this picture makes it look a little better than it does in person, close up.  but like i said i'm going to have someone go through everything.  hopefully he won't find too much stuff wrong with it

[Acrid Avid Jam Shred]

Smell Good: Yes on the Caf?s

I want to find a BMX r100 and cafe it out


my friend's dad is a big Ducati guy



and the of course all max schaaf's stuff is sick

[HATE!]

Are cafes getting more popular in the states?  Typically I only like British bikes but that BMW is dope.  We should start a PALS motorcycle gang.  Call it something like the Ton-Up PALS and our logo is a kitten with a huge weiner photoshopped on him riding an Ed Roth sthe style skateboard.  Kinda do him up like Rat Fink.  Oh shit!  To the sketchpad!

haha fuck yeah

I guess i've been seeing more cafes recently...it's a lot of hip kids though which sucks.

[HATE!]

Yeah, I could see the cool kids liking them.  Fuck it, who cares!?  If I judged what I liked and disliked based off the cool kids, I wouldnt like old motorcycles, records or weird movies.

I took this bike through South America for some 10,000km over 4 months back when I was 18. 

Check the sandstorm brewing in the background.

Finally scored a shop manual for my Kawasaki. It's gonna be a little bit easier to work on now.

Did you also write a book on your experiences and later aided in a Marxist revolution in Cuba?

Nah, I thought that had been taken care of?

on a 125cc 4-stroke?! That's impressive.

It was actually a 150cc, that battery cover plate is a replacement as is the gas tank; I got hit by another motorist from the side at like 100km/hr.

Terrifying shit, the gas tank exploded and I couldn't walk for like 4 days because I landed on my tailbone.

The other guy broke his shoulder blade and completely fucked up his face, fucking idiot.
I'm not fluent in Spanish either so I ended up getting most of the blame, being a gringo and all.
Corrupt fucking cops in small town Peru, they put me in a cell for the night until the guy who's hostel I was staying in came over with his Peruvian friend to get me out. It was right on the border with Ecuador and the only other person in there was a female drug mule who was like crying most of the time and then going ape shit at the cops any time they'd offer her food or water.

Anyway, crazy days. Fully worth it though.

[floop]

i got a new bike.  new old bike that is.  68 hond cb 350. 

if you're going to have a mid life crisis you may as well do it in style

[Smell Good]

^That thing is so clean.

For any of you guys who know a thing or two about bikes, what are my options if I'm just looking for a small displacement bike? I'm talking like, anywhere from 50cc toys to maybe 200cc. I think scooters have taken over that market these days, but I don't think they're as fun.

Check out Royal Enfields.  They're dope as fuck (they are about 350cc) and if you wanted to go the brand new route, they're still just a few thousand because their so little.

[mattofallmatts]

I have a '76 Yamaha TT 500. I'll post some pictures of it later.

[Hexagon]

motorcycles are for stroke offs. just kidding.

i never got into them personally, but indians and old 40's to 60's bikes look sick.
