Cycle Pictures

Hello to all, I am a new member of the group and as requested, am sharing some of my bikes, present and past.

I currently have an 83 KZ550 H2 (GPZ) as my daily driver. A 1974 KZ 400 S2 as my classic and a 1981 Honda XL 500 S (not pictured) to bang around with.

Pictures of the bikes I used to have and would take back in a minute are my favorite of all time, a 1983 VF750F (Interceptor) and a super classic, the 1978 Yamaha SR 500 (Thumper). Those along with a few 125 and 250 kept me riding when I was a kid.

My worst mistake was to move from a pro choice state (Helmets that is) to a helmets mandatory state. That is when I sold the Interceptor since I needed to strap on a lid to just go around the block and could not stand it. Eleven years went by without a single ride. What a waste. Well I couldn't take it any more so I saw the KZ 400 for sale at $200. She was a runner but pretty beat up so I spent some money for new paint and upholstery and got back to riding in 2001. Then along came the other two and a couple of dirt bikes for the kids. Lets say there is not a lot of room in the garage.

I hope you all keep aware and stay safe.
