cycle world rolling concourse at IMS moto gp

[Guest]

Spent the day Saturday with a good friend participating in the cycle world rolling concourse at the Indianapolis motor speedway. It was an amazing day at a historic location on my 78 gs550, that I call "old reliable" (because she's not pretty but she'll get ya their)..... lol
This photo is at the Pagoda (back side of start/finnish line)....

I will post an invite for next year if anyone is interested... but next year I will be on my 83 Yamaha xs650h... its a numbers matching all original bike [with 1006 mi.] that was my dad's... http://i1348.photobucket.com/albums/...ps57885be2.jpg
so if you have a nice stock or custom, or a daily beater like me I hope you set a date for this next year!

Part bin special!

The '65 350' you mention is an interesting blend of a '66-'67 X6 basic chassis, tank, etc, with a '73 T350 engine and an undetermined disc-brake front end, Yamaha maybe, can't be a T350 front end graft-on, they never came with disc front. Could be a '77 GT250 front, those came with a disc.

Also, I would guess about 90% on here would know about the RE-5 Rotary. almost did Suzuki in!

Thanks for the great pics, barn.
Seems like a bit of everything at that show. Not just Japanese.

I have always liked the spoke pattern on the Heritage special. Your bike looks terrific!
How did your dad not spend the entire time with the front wheel in the air with that massive top box. lol.

[barnfresh 78gs]

Thanks Steve, yea the xs is a real beast! (Not!).... lol
