I'd be hard pressed to find an accumulation of vintage bikes like those around here. Thanks for posting those great pics.
I cringe to see helmets laying on the ground. My oldest step son laid his down for an hour or so and a black widow climed in. Bit him three times on the back of his neck. He's fine now but said it was excruciating pain and had a short stay in a hospital as a result.
Sorry for the downer, just came to mind seeing so many helmets laying around.Roger

Cheers. There were so many bikes I only took a few pics just to give a general idea of the amount of classics around Melbourne area. As to the weather it was 23°C on the day but today will be 38°C. (100.40 ℉.) Too hot for me.Yeah I don't put my helmet on the ground but many do. Risk is very low as there's probably not many spiders around here.

Nice shots Joe! Some great looking bikes, would be cool to see that variety around here.
Did my first 2017 ride, ofcourse the SC wasn't having it as usual for me, been a month and a few weeks since I last rode.
Ran hard down my flat street, bumped to 2nd, with the choke half on with a Bic pen holding the slingshots partially open, lit right up after the month long cold spell.
A pleasant 60 mile loop with variable road conditions, about 40ish temp wise. Didn't stop no pics, same ratty Kat.GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES

We went out on the 850 this afternoon, my wife and I, for the first time in quite a while. In about 20 minutes rain and snow mix started falling so it was a quick ride. She hadn't been on the bike since I put the backrest on and she liked it, yay! There's a storm moving in so probably wont get out tomorrow.Roger

ain't tresspassing
aint't tresspassing, is it, if just fitt between the post in the walkway, just happen to have a motorcykl under me.
Maybe different interpertation if past homeland security (coast guard) signs, then when past state park signs....
Hey, 40 degeesF in January on a Saturday morning, good enough for a breakfast ride and then a ride around town.
And had rained some yestgerday, so most salt washed off the roads (but not enough to get GK out, and roads a bit wet)

Charmayne and I both got to ride today though only on her bike as I need to start putting mine back together. I rode her bike up to the high school today so she could get some practice in.
Power walking time first:
Then riding though in first gear only right now
She also learned what happens when you don't connect the ground wire of the R/R properly thus killing her battery. Fortunately, the wife was able to bring my battery from home and swap them out. I also showed her the correct way to connect the wiring to battery again.Last edited by cowboyup3371; 01-21-2017, 02:46 PM.Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace
