with all of the talk of 70’s and 80’s era bikes lately, it had me wondering how many NYspeeders are riding old bikes. Would be cool if we could get some rides together instead of trying to ride with the sportbike crowd and being left in the dust… If you’re riding vintage…whats your scoot? I’ve got a '75 Honda cb550 ---

I thought this was about vespas too. I was riding down elmwood earlier this week and there was about 8 sport bikes that passed each other and exchanged the “wave”. A scooter was behind the people on the other side and like clockwork, everyone immediately put their hands back on their bars and refused to wave. ---

How often do you ride it? I’m going to DD this. I’m sure you don’t have it registered or have a license for that matter 😉 Saw you whipping around Colvin in the E couple days ago. Cage looks great through the backside. ---

If by rocking you mean teeter tottering it on the center stand then im in! Not enough hours in the day to get that damn thing finished. When itys done though it will have a ninja front end, and im still in the process of designing an exhaust for it, and I still have no god damn clue as to what im going to do about a seat. ---
