Spotted in West Virginia.  This 1998 GSX 600 was bought years ago with 500 miles on it.
Now, 15,000 miles later, powder coated all black, with little more than a $400 Werx pipe on it, it's still a real rider.

Love it.
Dirtbike helmet noted.

Real good weather for this old Airhead.

Maxwell House Blue.  Always looks good.

Was showing a customer the site, and this thread just yesturday.  One of those 50 something construction company owners, that hasn't ridden in decades, "since I broke my leg in 5 places when a guy pulled out in front of me."

The VRod was too chopper like.  
Didn't like the crotch rockets at all.
That Royal Enfield, caught his eye, thought they were still made in The UK.  
When he saw that blue beemer he kinda lit up.

Told me......
"I think about getting back out there.  It crosses my mind. If I do, that's the bike I'd do it on."

Boy, looks fantastic in the autumn sun.

The local Beemer shop has one of those in his shop. He also has a R90S in there. Of course I think he has just about one of every Beemer model crammed in there.

Has this really nice R90 rig he keeps tempting me with.

The R90/6 with Ural is a sweet rig. I'd do it. Looking at the triple clamps I'd guess it is sorted out.

And the reach to the ground is a non issue with a side car.

I have a R/90S, it's beautiful but the riding position gets tiring real quick for my old wrists.

My blue R80/7 is Goldilocks.

That rig is setup right. He had the raked trees made.
It was his bike originally. He sold it to a customer years ago. The guy died recently so he bought it back from the widow.
It’s had some electric upgrades as well.
It would be a good one. I’m just not sure I want another sidecar.
I wish I could spend a couple days with it to try it out. I’d hate to pay the $15k he wants for it only to find it’s not my thing.

[oldironnow]

Tell him I said you're trust-worthy.

Maybe sliding over a cyclevisor.com tee shirt would sweeten the deal for a short-term audition?

Noticed this rider in Als basement.  A 2010 with 10k on it, this was Als first bike.
Everything but the windscreen is stock. A 675....a beautiful bike.

I passed this guy on Route 66 in between the town 5 miles east of my town  When I got into my town I pulled over and waited just to see if he was still heading into town.
 A few minutes later I could see his headlight coming around the bend.
I had to snap a pic.

 I saw this guy again the other day running through town. Must be his transportation.

We need business cards to hand out to prospects.





That should bring 'em in...
