I'M OLD, AND ITS COLD

[chidago]

Having kept many over the years, I decided to roll some of em over to my work side, and dust em off, its so fff'n cold, aint nothin else to do..AND thought may as well bore you with my past sins..lol

Pay no mind to my '72 norton in the corner, thats what I have yet to restore..the rest of these I got in various stages of junk

Damn, you got Santa Claus's toy shop in your garage.

Sweet collection.

Diff camera for the RG500? Doesn’t look quite right…

 

[chidago]

Yeah, damn iphone settings have me crazy..im a 35mm guy, with a flip phone...hard to get used to smart phone for me..sitting to close didnt help..here are some of it by itself..thats my centerpiece bike, to me

 

[sgerry]

Gorgeous bike!!
I missed all the 2 strokes when I started riding- already illegal in Cali back then.

It looked photoshopped, I couldn’t wrap my head around it.

Is that like a dry bubble the Busa is in?

 

[sgerry]

Cold here in Alaska too!
And I’m old(ish).

Took 20 years….but I finally got my Ducati.

Bought it in August, had snow in September.

Put on the CW pipe, shorty turns signals. Bar end mirrors and that’s a mock up of how I want the fly screen painted (I think).

Left -11° to fly (where i just wear a fleece jacket) to Florida, 80° was murder. Took days to even partially adjust.

 

[chidago]

was -2 here other day, but, i'll live..cant take that humidity in florida, or the so called "dry heat" in arizona..130 degrees dry or not, is too fu*kin hot for a human..and no green, no water, ur front yard made outta gravel and cactus dont cut it either..lol

 

[chidago]

How cold does it get where you are at?

 

[sgerry]

I’m in Wasilla, about 45 miles from Anchorage. Def not the coldest- but I moved from Texas. In 2018 saw a 111° temp swing that year.

Last week we were at -12°.
Coldest I’ve seen was -22°.

 

[chidago]

Summers normal tho, right??

If I'm ever in Chicago...can I get a guided tour of your museum?!
Incredible collection you've got!
I'm 44, and when I was around 4 or 5, the next door neighbor took me riding on his GS1000(great guy and always had bikes and muscle cars).
It looked just like the one in the top picture, only with a solid black tank.
Memory lane!
What an awesome thread to see first thing this morning!
Thankyou!
