Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Me on my '71 BSA A65T, circa 1982 in Lahr, Germany. This was the maiden voyage after a few weeks of wrenching to get it road legal. Ditched the ugly, square, chrome stock gas tank in favour of a sleeker '70 Triumph Bonneville unit...

Awesome thread! I love the vintage bikes. The other day I thought I saw what could've been an old Honda dual-sport across an intersection, but my light turned green before I got to find out. :(

Saw some great old (+new ) bikes a motorcycle day in Calne, Wiltshire this weekend.

This first pic is of a fantastic Douglas Dragonfly Circ 1950. Spot the funky headlight. I have never seen one of these bikes before.
