I like looking at photos of bikes from the days from the early days of my riding some of the photos are of my bikes some belong to friends. I have never been a big photo taker a thing  I wish I did a bit more.
I hope some of you have photos to add to this thread

I wasn't a big photo taker back in the day.... film developing was not my thing.  Polaroids faded. Today with digital formats... I can take em and share em in a snap.  Not really moldy oldies, but older than some.

Here is my 73 Honda CL350

I wish I had pics of my old Yamaha RD250 and Honda CX500 to share but I don't think I ever got any. Looking at all these old bikes is making want to go vintage MC shopping though. Pavalker, that CL350 you posted is sweet. I'd love to have one.

Thanks....    I don't ride that one all too often; to a few bike nights/car cruises or around locally.  It is a fun little ride tho.  The CB900C is my summer "city bike" usually when I don't want to take the Valkyrie into the city in the heat/humidity of summer. The Valk can sometimes be awkward or a chore in downtown city (and rush hour) traffic, and with the hills in Pittsburgh I can put the CB900C in "low range" in the city and "high range" on the highway.  The CB650C is another light weight bike that serves to be an excellent foul weather rider; excellent protection with that fairing and I have the OEM trunk on it that serves as a grocery getter/delivery means (also take it when checking for Ammo at my local WM).   All three of those bikes have permanent "antique" plates, no annual renewal fees or state inspection requirements.... but I keep an eye on them mechanically just the same.   I have a large fanny pack that I converted to a magnetic tank bag, holds goggles, sun glasses, garage door opener, nylon backpack and a few other items... and I just swap it to whichever vintage bike I take out for a ride.  After I got my Valkyrie years ago, I sold my 02 VTX1800R and used the proceeds of that sale to purchase these vintage bikes.  Now is the time to do some bike shopping... tis the season as they say.
