Pic of the week game

Finding this old T500 cheap and in good shape was like winning the lottery. Fixed it up a little, rode it a bit and sold it to someone who could take better care of it than I would. Probably a once in a lifetime thing for me.

I really miss this classic.

There are now two people that are missed when I look at this pic - not seen is my father. This was the first ride in his memory that we took about a year after he passed in 2002. On the left is my uncle - dad's brother. About 10 years after this was taken he lost his life due to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. He put about 80k miles on that Triumph Legend in the pic before a careless, dangerous, driver on the revoked list did him in.


Pic is not crooked, the ground was at this spot.

Came up empty this week. My dad (rest his soul) was the family photog, but I’ve found no photos of me and bikes with the guy who taught me so much, including how to ride and wrench on my first motorcycle when I was 12, a 1972 Yamaha DT 250. But I’ll never forget our rides together. Also rode ATV and dirt bikes with lots of friends in my teens. Sadly, no pictures. Just great memories. Today, I’m a lone wolf. I’ve never ridden in a group or with another person on the street outside of the MSF course.

I'm going to vote for Gustovh, well just because. Refresh my memory Gustovh. Is the gentleman in the picture your brother? And didn't he ride to Alaska in the winter or something like that? I'm sure you think of him often. 👍

He rode a Ural to the Arctic circle Norm. One Helluva ride!

Trevor is getting my vote this week as I feel his pain - well, not fully but i do understand where he's coming from

[dorkburger]

Eli 69 for me. I absolutely love that bike, and know the feeling of sellers regret. I enjoyed the pics of it he posted when he owned it. Nice pic too.
