Old pics of old bikes

[Guest]

My wonderful wife somehow found pics of some of my old bikes and put together a great father's day photo album gift along with help from my kids. Thought I'd share some with you die hard bike porn gawkers. Excuse the quality as I had to use my digi cam to take shots of the old prints. Remember these were over 20-30 years ago before I had to take a "leave of absence" while raising 6 kids, before getting back into it a few years ago. Hope you enjoy the trip down memory lane.

GS750 (last bike before 3rd child was born)

It was a ride on an 850 Commando that got me back into motorcycling after an eight year hiatus.
More pics, please.

OK, more....

Be thankful it's not a slide show of my 6 kids!!!

Honda 305 (the beginning of my addiction in 1973)...you gotta like the matching pastel blue factory paint on the forks. What a deal for $100!

Great bikes!

Great bikes, it's fabulous your wife OK with your riding. Too many say NO WAY! You lost me with the chopper, as a teen I thought they were cool, but now I can see how crappy they handle, and posing, I don't do any more.
Don't get old already.
