Those inline 6 CBs are crazy.  We saw two in DeLand.  I think Liz took a pic of one.

Yes, there were a bunch of early dirt bikes and quite a few for sale. One old Penton that was in super nice shape. Never saw many of those around.

Mt. Fuji road course in the 60s. Works bikes looked cobby at best. Hearing the 2 stroke and 4 stroke factory works machines doing there thing at speed and high revs-DAMN-should have had some recording equipment. BUT I was there for a motocross weekend. I Might have had a 35MM still film camera. I do KNOW I had my leathers and helmet otherwise-No Racy!  2funny Those megaphone zaust pipes triggered some fond memories.  cooldude At that time you could go down in the pits and wander around. IF they had the bike inside a tent you were NOT invited. Good pics!  coolsmiley RIDE SAFE.

Nice!

Strange seeing so many clean bikes. Almost looks like a dealers showroom floor of new bikes.

I wasn't into bike enough to remember a lot of those, but my Brother used to ride a Seca till he came off it on a ride from Vancouver - Mexico down I5 (might have been Hwy 99 back then), came off changing lanes and hitting a ridge between the difference in height of the left/right lanes. Stupid, but I've done that on a bicycle on a driveway curb.

Farside....me too. Those were super nice looking bikes to me.
That Yamaha 900 Seca was absolutely gorgeous with incredibly nice styling. Wish there were more of those around.

  My son had a 900 seca about 10 years ago, sweet bike. He sold it and regretted it soon after.

I was torn in 1988 on buying a yamaha seca 700 or a about same year 1984 honda magna.  I choose the honda magna and made a wise choice at 1500 bucks back then.  never heard of the seca 900 but if that 700 was a 900 seca, it would be the seca over the honda magna I think?  similar design, etc. but 900 seca am sure being very rare. 

Still ticks me off to this day I sold it for 1500 bucks in 1998 for what I paid for it.  That bike was near MINT tons of extras added and to this day would fetch with some 40-50K or so miles on it now 1500 all day long.    The guys dad even tried to persuade me to let it go for 1400 bucks since the rear tire needed replacing very soon.  I said give me a break, I should have said no and just kept it end of conversation, loved that bike.  1500 or leave it was my comment.  I price things to sell fairly.  Even sold my old 1980s 5 hp ariens ST524 snowblower for ONLY 125 bucks before this winter ran very well with good electric start, but inherited a bigger, but older, snowblower also in good shape did not need 2 of them.  Lady who bought it never even wanted me to start it but I did for her to show her how it ran, etc.  Others posted not as good of shape were going for 150-200 bucks online same unit.  I figured for 30+ years old limited use it served its purpose time to move on giving someone else a fair deal not needing 2 older snowblowers.    going to snow tomorrow so going to use old BLUE tomorrow to clear some snow and use up some old gas in the tank from ONLY using it twice all winter long.   I can shovel by hand but blowing snow 40 feet is more fun plus old gas in carbs not being used is not good I run the gas tank dry every spring which will be soon enough right??????
