I think it is 20-years. Damn, doesn't seem that long ago . . .

My two '86 1100s and my '86 750 qualify for that status now.

Yep. Now if I get the '81 GS650G going again and man if I could piece together the '69 Honda that would be cool!!!!

You can never have enough bikes for days of the week!!!

**87gsxrnut** · 06-07-2006, 09:28 AM

True. I had at one time six or seven bikes. But, now I have two that are streetworthy. They are enough to maintain due to the age. Maybe one of these days I'll get something newer.

I know what you mean. I have two street worthy bikes. One that could be for about $500.00,,, and the other hasn't seen the sunlight in 19 years stuffed away in a basement. I keep tossing around the idea of that '69 Honda being brought back from the dead. Would have to get stuff re-chromed and all. Just don't see any 1969 CB-160's running around anymore though.

Wonder what a restored one of those would bring????

S2Design · 06-07-2006, 09:43 AM

I am guessing it would be worth more to you than anyone else.

stp1971 · 06-07-2006, 09:50 AM

Probably so.

**87gsxrnut** · 06-07-2006, 11:32 AM

Yeah, but the are pretty cool. I had a 1970 CB 750 at one point.

Hey Nut! Did they mind you snakin' all those parts off the tree of shame? And did you find an alternator for a Savage?

**87gsxrnut** · 06-07-2006, 11:55 PM

No alternator yet! No 1st gen parts, although there were others . . .

Dragon thought. Vacations are needed to release tension and relax. Having a vacation and the company of some really neat people...now that is a treasure.
Rae and I have concluded that so far this has been one of the best vaations yet!

stp1971 · 06-08-2006, 11:27 AM

+1!!!!!

**87gsxrnut** · 06-08-2006, 01:36 PM

Right on! I agree. It was NICE to get the hell out of this hot box down here!

outlaw · 06-08-2006, 10:06 PM

yeah well, i'm having thoughts of moving now thanks to the trip. now if i can only find a job that pays as good as the one i'm in now.
*dang specialized field* i wonder if a metric/custom shop would work in Asheville. hhhuummm anyway, i agree with you all, a very nice getaway....

dragbar · 06-08-2006, 10:22 PM

I already told Sunny...I'd just be a waiter in a resort town...surely with tips I can make as much as I do now..haha

stp1971 · 06-09-2006, 08:35 AM

I am thinking if I open my own bed and breakfast catering to bikers I will get rich!!!! I should do it!!!! I could call it "Sierra Papa's"!!!!!

sunny · 06-09-2006, 08:53 AM

of course i've been wanting to relocate for months now. that wouldn't be a bad area to raise the kids...

stp1971 · 06-09-2006, 09:38 AM

Actually this part of the country is not that bad. Alot of job opportunities in the Atlanata area, as well as Birmingham, Charlotte, Macon, and several of the other major cities in the south.

I like Atlanta becuase I am a couple hours form the mountains. Four hours from the beach. Plenty of entertainment in the area. Plus the Dragon is within a few hours drive!!!!
