Classic motorcycles

For those of you who have/are fond of classic motorcycles, any pics, stories, etc. to share? I'm talking old Harleys, Indian, Triumph, Hondas, etc... whatever you got.

I'd like to pick up a Royal Enfield for the classic looks without the classic price tag.

Had a 71 Norton Commando- I sold it as it was in bad need of way more repair than I could give it. The poor thing- someone had laced a 16" Harley rim on the back, as well as a few other *chopper* mods.

Don't own any old ones - but I love Motorcycles period. I am currently riding a Honda VTX1800 and it is a great bike.

If Money were no object I would have one of the new Indian Chiefs and a few Harley Tourers = Road King and a Ultra Glide.

I also want a Kwasaki ZRX 1200.

My past bikes: '81 Vespa, P200e; '76 BMW, R90S; ~'83 Kawasaki, GPZ 550.

They were fun and all, but my CBR600f2 has spoiled me. I don't know if I could go back to a classic. Though, I do miss the Beemer's Krausers, and style.

Oh yeah, and I had a $100 Ducati Pantah, but I never could get it to run.

My dad and I restored a 1946 Harley. Not quite ready for the big national shows, but it normally takes first place for antique or even best of show in the local shows around the region.

I'll work on putting together some pictures.

That's beautiful. I know nothing about motorcycles, but whenever I come across one on the street, the ones that get my attention tend to be Moto Guzzi's, Ducatis, Triumphs and BMWs.
