My first decent ride out of the year, bit brisk still but the first decent weather of the year couldn't be resisted!

This is an Indian...

…but isn’t the saying a bike is a bike and anything on two wheels is better than four.

Today was nice day to ride....
1970 Daytona 500
1074 Bonneville 750

I don't know anything about motorcycles and I'm not a rider, but these are the kind of bikes I'd like to ride if I was. These or maybe an old Norton Commando.

@Aetas sorry for the late reply buddy.
Yes, this is a longer trip circa 4000 km and 14 days. Endpoint for the trip is the motogp race being held at Termas de Rio Hondo in Argentina.
So that fantastic 40 km stretch of curvy road known as Cuesta de Lipan was an up and down afternoon ride. Highest point is 4170 mts.
Highly recommendable it anyone is thinking about it. Can’t compare it to other curvy roads in Europe as I’ve never ridden a bike there.
Also, I misspelled its name, it is Lipan, not Lioan.

@motojobobo
14 days in the saddle … wow!

Dropped a whole buncha money on my bike this past few weeks. Got a stage 1 tune from FuelMoto. Intake. Floorboards. Chopped engine guard. Mirrors. Grips. Chrome stuff. And a full chrome foot control kit. Chrome wheels next and then I’m chilling for a bit. But stage 1 really wakes these bikes up. Even with just intake and exhaust it’s a totally different bike now

@Choko Looks great

[Choko]

Thanks @Denimhead-0. I can’t wait for this weather to get nice

[NickD]

Does anyone know what bike this is based on (from the Wabbidashery thread, in the IH Japan shop)?

[yannis]

Is that a parallel twin? @NickD.

[NickD]

@yannis yes, it looks like it is.

Edit: clearly not!

[Aetas]

@NickD Engine looks like SR 500 to me.

[NickD]

So a big single? I think you're right from looking at pics.

[louisbosco]

@NickD ken/kenta mentioned it was based of an SR400. it was his motorcycle that he parked in the shop

Nice cruise today with my buddy and his air ride fat tire Road Glide. Makes mine feel stock. And I’m sorry you can’t ride @Denimhead-0

@Choko very jealous I could have weathered it, getting a little spoiled now with Springs arrival.

Took the ‘69 TR6C out for a putt in Sonoma last Friday. It was a beautiful day.

@SFMCfranky Very nice!
