    Feel like I'm using my saddlebag just to get my UHF to work  😃
    Between the jacket and XHSib I felt pretty darn armored on the commute today, can't beat a high of 67 and not a cloud in the sky.  Scrambler has been an absolute blast

      Sorry to sully this thread.

      Taking me back to my late teens/early twenties; crap scooters, crap roads, no known rules of the road…...

      Back then, it was Greece, now it is Indonesia.....

          I will continue the light motorcycle theme. My neighbour is a very nice elderly chap with a thing about mopeds. He was mucking around with this when I went out today. 1968 build by a now defunct Norwegian manufacturer.

            Fantastic pictures and I’m sure some pretty good stories from those two.

                    Start of my 78 shovelhead project. Definitely going to take a few years for this one.

                      By popular request… well by @goosehd , Pics of my 78 Yamaha IT175.

                      Bought it in bits an an eBay project last winter (as we know.. never buy a bike in bits!.. its all there - nothings missing, honest!) Just the wrong forks, front wheel, Carb etc…

                      I rebuilt engine, new seals/bearings etc. Powder coated frame, zinc/cerakoted various bits. Sourced a new fueltank from the US and managed to get loads of parts from a UK importer of used old bikes from the states.

                      It runs a treat - nothing low down - then bam,  the 34mm mikuni main jet kicks in and the thing flies.

                      Ive done a little off-roading on it this summer, but have a Husky FE350 for the proper dirty work!

                          @Baba-san Fantastic motorcycle and it looks beautifully redone!  …and there’s nothing like hitting the powerband.  :). Thanks for the pictures and restoring this beauty!

                                  Packed up the bike and rode down south last week. Met up with my dad half way. Went from Pittsburgh to oak island at the bottom of North Carolina. Really nice country roads to ride on.

                                          @Punatnik Where did you find that gem?  Rebuild and restoration?  Love to hear/read the backstory on that bike and love the pictures!

                                          Thank you!
