Nice to be back on a Suzuki 750... Oh yeah...
After about an hour of riding... (50ish miles) I'm beginning to think I stole this thing... Man, runs like a top, crazy comfy and it's frickin' gorgeous to look at.Jedz Moto

It has been dry around here....good for haying and riding. Today on the ridge with the vintage bike. How many views and riders have our old bikes seen and been ridden by over the last 33 years?

4th of July Ride. - - 1979 helmet.
On summertime holidays I will allow myself to use my original helmet from 1979, only for local short rides.
Yes, that was a DOT helmet in 1979.
Has about 5/16th of inch of real hard stiff stryofoam type stuff with no padding, just a fabric cover.
CAn see that the stuff is so thin that the shell has to go further out for the ears. (reminds me of my dads highschool foot ball leather helmet, circa 1948).
THe helmet was originally blue, to match the kz400 I had.
THen late 80s I painted it to match the 650G .... and, now that I think of it, maybe more inline with the garb of the folks I was associating with at the time.
And, thinking of that period, ... I since have managed to wash out the stale beer smell from it.
On unfaired bike, and that helmet, really need the ear plugs. Man!
Had about an half hour ride. Had a round of disc golf. And about half hour ride back home.
Sometimes I think I should cut-up that helmet and throw it out.
But I like having it, for reasons I cant really explain.
Maybe I should smile for such selfie pics. But do have the wind in my face on this bike with that helmet.
The wind had Had tears running out of eyes.
A couple times I could not breath, like my nostrils closed up or something.

That human beings can not bear too much reality, explains so much.

I think you need a bubble visor with that helmet, They still make them.

What do you think? ... there are probably folks that have never had a helmet that has those snapps.

bike sat for over 12 months ... battery's toast, but after 6 attempts with recharges in between, it finally kicked over on last attempt before leaving storage ... and rode it for a few miles (shorts & T-shirt ... doooope!)
but it wouldn't restart at end of the ride. new battery needed when the time comes
