Lornce,
Yeah! Can't wait until the Rickman is running! Here is my 74 Sport, the day I brought it home! Thanks, Phil Quote:

http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=526351 It's a dormant project that taunts me every time I go downstairs to work on something else... long story short I got frustrated with the whole vintage Ducati "scene" a while back and discovered electric guitars. Haven't worked on it in over a year now, and it's number 2 on my bike project list. Here's the one I need to finish first:  Seat and tank aren't at the right angle but you get the idea. (It started life as a 1966 Ducati Monza Jr by the way) http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=521288 I don't think I'd classify that one as a cafe racer but judging by some of the other bikes here, I think I'm safe posting it... |

Really? I don't know how many times I wish I would've bought an old British bike to do my round the world trip. Or took the offer in Melbourne where a guy offered to trade his Matchless 500 straight across for my Ducati.
Usually folks into vintage bikes are good people, but I think those into Eyetalian bikes have a higher dose of snob that offends my ever so delicate sensibilities. Still, I hope to be riding my Duc into Italy in a year. Quote:

I think that the "girls on an old motorcycle" was back a page or two recently. for sure they have not gone out of style. maybe we've just run low on photos for both threads |

Or maybe people get tired of sharing photo's cause of all the comments on tire/tank/color/girl/whatever choices on the bike...
Here's one I really like:   For those in the US: This bike will be raffled/auctioned off (they haven't decided yet as far as I know) for a really good cause.

They were known for raising blisters when we had them back in the 70s and 80s! Then the little fin thingies would break off over time. Talk about junk. They're only good for stylin' if one rides a lot with them. I had them on my 75 Kaw 400 S3 triple... well for a while. Then I went to a set of Petty hex grips which were much much better. I hope they're better for you guys, but unless something's changed I'd be doing a set of decent grips like Superbike grips or even those old school barrel shaped grips that cause arm pump for some of us. I'm kind of function over form when it comes to comfort and operation.
