Love the view, 1973. What did the Z900RS guys think of your bike?
What kind of helmet is that? I dig the contrast in the red and dark.

he had nothing but good things to say he especially like the air cooled 4 i liked the green paint for sure I've heard the 900 is faster but we didn't test that he was in his 60s 70s maybe and was in his words "scared to test it"

Interesting that he said that, and partly why I was asking. I had a similar situation at a Cars and Coffee a while back. An older gentleman with a Z900RS and me with my CB1100, each admiring each other's bikes. He was a little afraid of the performance potential of the Kawi as well, but wanted a four cylinder inline bike with a vintage look. He had been interested in the CB1100 when he was shopping, but couldn't find a clean enough one for his tastes, so he bought the Kawi new - the root beer brown/orange model.

He was marveling at the condition of my bike, and while we never got anywhere near the "ya wanna trade" discussion, I wondered if I'd be tempted.

we had mutual respect, and to the sport bikes their we were the old guys, I am younger but was defiantly cool I would have took a spin on that kaw in a heart beat and would have let him on the cb but he or I never asked both are amazing i have a 1981 csr1000 project i want to build into a dragbike i have already chopped the frame but its on the back burner i think the kaw's and cb's are the best jap bikes around the suzuki gs's from the early days are awesome to but i am glad i went with the cb after seeing the z9 in person the forks wheels and water cooling just made it to modern for me the cb1100 is borderline to modern for me as it is the z900 might as well be a ufo

Great pics indeed 1973. How does your '73CB750 compare to your 1100?

[Cormanus]

Impossibly pretty.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

I always find it interesting how most of alprider's road images have grass coming right up to the tarmac.

Wonderful snaps alp.

 

[peterbaron]

Holy smoke =

Alprider, stay there ... I am coming with my bike to take a pic with your group..

 

[alprider]

ok no problem

i am her wehre you ?...LOL

with you it's just everything one size bigger...therefore too the roadsides until the asphalt begins...smile....

 

[Gone in 60]

Very pretty, Alprider. Hey, how is that aluminum box attached to your rack?

And why do I expect Auric Goldfinger to come around the corner in a Phantom III?

 

[alprider]

you mean the furkapass.....we didnt drive this yesterday

Furka Pass, Switzerland

.
I am not at all sure whether there are two self-made angle iron profiles...In any case, my dealer already had them ready....basically this is the first version of the honda topcase/ box for the FVR adventure bike some years ago

Estacada, OR area was heavily affected by Labor Day forest fires of 2020. Hiway 224 east of Estacada which hugs the Clackamas River has always been a wonderful place to ride, but has been closed until early May of this year, and now about 25 miles of 224 has reopened.

I took in about half the newly opened road...and have never seen so many torched trees in my life:

The river is still doing its thing:

But lots of scorched earth:

The long, easy curves still makes for great riding, but the it's
a bit sad to think I'll never see it fully re-grown.

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

... it is sad.

However, we (and the trees) are all star dust.
