When you roll into the local motorcycle shop on a 50 year old bike with a license plate like this, you get instant service from the owner himself!

Great day for a ride and I couldn't wait to let Bill take it for a ride. He loves these old bikes as much as I do and he enjoyed his time on it. Kerry rode her 1986(?) GS450 and I rode my 1975 H2. after we left the shop and headed home, I didn't see her much, other than as a fading headlight in my vibrating mirrors! Kerry likes to ride slow and carefully, I'm not quite like that. Good times!

That's a nice bike. Be safe out there.

Three tail pipes?

Three tail pipes?

Yup! It's a 3 cylinder, 2 stroke engine. Purty ain't it?

It's been well over 10 years since I rode this bike. Kerry hasn't ridden since she dropped my Turbo so this was a special day for her too.

There really is nothing like riding with the one you LOVE. It is nice to hear about a couple doing something together and enjoying one another. Cool bike as well.

Do you ever just sit on your porch with a nice cup of tea, Jeff?

Does sitting on the deck smoking a bowl of "tea" count? If so, yes. If not, no.

LOL all in fun T

Yes, nice bile, my younger brother had a H2, ended up selling it for a ex-CHP bike. I prefer the Limey bikes, myself Have a 69 Triumph TR25w Trophy 250, and a 58 Triumph T110 650. Haven't ridden them in years...

Very cool!

Nice Brit bikes and those were made in Meridian weren't they? Before Triumph shipped it all to Asia? Not that I would ever knock the 675 triple....they just had a lot of crap in the 80's....like another domestic brand did in the 80's when they were owned by AMF! LMAO!

Ya, Triumph & BSA (British Small Arms) I believe back in the day were madein the same Factory, In fact I have a BSA Engine Identical to the tr25w, That I have interchanged in this frame.

And My 58 was a basket case when I bought it. It had a Honda rear fender on it. I tore it down, & rebuilt it. Took 6 months, for my since deceased Parts guy, to find me a stock fender from some place back in Cincinnati. Best as I can decern, it was originally bought in England by Someone in the US Navy, who brought it back to the states. Trashed it and then sold it for parts. I even found the front license plate holder that was NOS.

Well, I would bet your WKWMKR is crazy fast. a 750, 2 stroke must scream! Would scare the bejesus out of me. I have a 1 yr old F-150 Lightning XLT , , , THAT scares the bejesus out of me too.
