First time I have ever seen the fiberglass saddlebags on these things "rust", and it looks like they have "rusted" on two motorcycles. :rolleyes:

No one can get to those two "last" pages. They don't exist. Several of the longer running threads on this forum have those phantom "last" pages. They are a forum glitch brought about when a long time member went back and deleted all of his posts. His actions completely crashed a couple of threads at least, and those that survived now have those "last" pages lingering on.

Love the R9 Racer. I suspect that will become a collectible. Went for a 200 mile ride yesterday on my 08 Guzzi California Vintage yesterday. A great day.

This is kind of a before and after
 

The day in 1973 when I bought my first Norton 750 (black) and the day I sold it in 2001 (blue) same bike.

Owned about a dozen 750's and 850's but this one was my favorite.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1632237258.jpg

I've had me a Guzzi once, wanted that bike even before I got my motorcycle license.

I remember riding on days/roads like that.
One certainly didn't get complacent.
Love the picture.

We inherited this. My daughter thought it would be a good run about town bike so she cleaned it up. Needs some carb work since it is a 2008 with 704 miles and it sat a lot.

I joined a FB group for VFR's a week or so ago - and today saw a guy in Cleveland selling an '87 700 just like the one I have. In near perfect condition w/23K miles. Asking $5K.

I messaged him that I was interested and he said he'd call me tomorrow. Now I'm wondering if I should do this or not. I'm sure I could arrange shipping but the thing is I'm not sure I have the space for another bike at this time. I'm not even riding all the bikes I have. Of course it's like nine million degrees out right now so not the most pleasant riding conditions.

Thing is - these early VFR's are really special and to find one in mint condition is worth considering. None of mine are in this kind of condition.

Here are some pics. The first 2 pics are from his post. The others are from his FB page - the last one posted just 10 days ago so he just bought it, apparently..

Naked shot of my 1989 RG500 Gamma. Been riding it in and slowly jetting it to take advantage of ported cylinders that came in a box with the bike. Haven’t nipped it up yet!

Boy, did this bring back memories! My first bike was CL K5, differing from this only in color. Mine was green and white. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1690404920.jpg

The good: it would carry two of us over just about any hill in 5th gear.
The bad: it was turning 1000 rpm for each 10mph in high gear. We put a lot of miles on that poor beast. Sold it to help make the down payment on our first house.
Thanks.
