I can't believe I was the last one to post in this thread before today and that was a while back.

Nice rides both. Makes me wish I could still ride.

Very NICE, but is there a kitchen sink as well? :D

Very nice, Yamaha FJR..... Back in the twistys, the FZ works well... Those 2 shots inspire me tho... ;0)

Ah, I thread I can sink my tires into.

I spent a few hours taking pics of these bikes individually as they showed up to the bike show. I like to think I got some really good shots, HONEST, but my cf card decided to go mammaries skyward. :-\

I had some great pics (I think) of that Ducati in the background on that card.

I have no idea how this kid got a Cali tag on this ... vehicle, but he had one. It had a Turbo engine with no catalytic converters and a small amount of camber. This was at a drifting event at Willow Springs that happened to be going on while I was at an AHRMA vintage motorcycle race.

Love the mid 50s pickups. Had a 56 chevy 1100 once but sold it for a dime because the springs were shot...still have dreams in which it plays a role and I'm a Ford man.
I recognize the emblem on your last one but my mind can't find the connection.

A quick search and it looks like the SE hood ornament is from a Dodge, Chrysler or Plymouth.

That seems right, style seems to be from the 1933 to 1935 models

Thanks!

The Hemmings Motor News 2012 Great Race from Traverse City, MI to Dearborn, MI made a scheduled, over night stop in Kanata, Ontario. It just happened to be the same night as our regular Tuesday cruise night, and presented quite a few photo opportunities. As usual I shot a zillion pics for 10 keepers !! :)
Here's a few - enjoy !!

Here is something I caught purely by chance.... It may fit.... this thread.....:p

This is an example of something that's really been bothering me. I can't even remotely begin to show how deep the brown is on this thing without turning the bright background into an eye-piercing snowfield. I'd really rather fix this in my shooting than in 'shopping, but I've no idea.

Cool racer, MT, but I don't know the answer to your quandry.
Hope some one comes along with the answer.

Tough light..It's not your fault......:) I know of that vintage Yamaha color you speak of...It's unique for sure... Still, quite nicely exposed...IMHO. :thumbsup:

Here is a 1968 PANNONIA T5 Italian...I think. --> Stay away from the jet intake...:eek:

Walk or ride... transportation. :)

I love old Willys

Something with the angle here makes it look like a YSR50 with 15" wheels. :confused:
