Cool pics Tezza

 

[Cormanus]

Tezza, do you still have the T250?

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

My first new bike. Suzuki T250 1969.

New Cb1100 taken in 2011 with daughter and grandson.

That is a fantastic time trip capture Tezza. Was the picture taken circa 1969? Nevertheless, we are so fortunate to be able capture moments. This is wonderfully sharp and vivid, given the era.

Thank you for sharing.

This was my first bike (not the actual bike) a 1965 Harley/Aermacchi 50cc 3 speed on the left hand grip 2 stroke I bought new in 1965. I don't have any pictures of me from the time. My parents had them, they passed away, and I don't know what happened to them.

This picture is from 1972 and is one of the earliest surviving photos I have. My 1956 Harley Panhead chopper my brother and I built in the basement of our mom & dads house. We did all the work on it, modifying the frame and filling it in, painting, chroming, wheel lacing, wiring. I sold it a year later to buy a 1973 RD 350.

When I got married I started touring seriously on a 1977 Kawasaki KZ1000. Here is my wife and I headed for Florida that same year. Vetter Fairing w/lowers, Eclipse tank bag, Kawasaki saddlebags and a way overloaded K&G rear luggage rack lol

Today I ride a 2014 DLX, simply one of the best bikes of the 30 street bikes I have owned

I had almost identical looking 50cc/2 speed-L hand control in about 1970

My brother had one of those Windjammer fairings on his CB550 (which I'm sitting on in my 1978 picture, and he is sitting on shirtless in my profile thumbnail).

Great flashback pics, everyone! :clap:

That looked like a fun ride there. A great shot, really. I mean the bike.

Suggestion:

Show your CB in the snow.

Best I can do ... it's 78 degrees F here in North Texas.

(Don't hate me too much ... was in the 20s a few days ago!)

Naw. We would only be perturbed if you were getting ice to keep the cans chilled while you lay back in the lawn chair.

 

[Tezza_imp]

Tezza, do you still have the T250?

Yes I still have it. Somewhat modified from 1969.

 

[Cormanus]

Fantastic!

Nice display box!

Beautiful bike Tezza.

 

[emptysea]

What a great idea for the March Challenge! Great pictures, too!

It looks to me like GoldOxide submitted his pix first so he gets to choose the topic for April, yes April is finally upon us.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Ha, thanks EmptySea, but I am disqualified because the "present" image I used was publicized in a prior month (before March).

The real April candidate is zbillster.

 

[emptysea]

Thanks for the clarification. I’m sure zbillster will come up with a creative topic.

 

[Bob750_imp]

To assist zbillster and future challenge choosers, I have compiled the historical record to make it easier to avoid duplication of past challenge topics. This might be a good candidate for a "sticky" that can be updated as we go so that newcomers (for example) don't have to necessarily read the entire 140+ pages before coming up with a challenge subject.
