Interesting.

Thanks for your service to our country and I hope you get to enjoy all those bikes for a long time!

You know a lot of those "throw away" Jap bikes have appreciated greatly while the rest of the market is in the dump. I wish I had kept my Honda's from the 70's.

You're gonna laugh, but the hardest thing to find on old Asian iron (alloy) is a factory stock exhaust system that is unmolested.

You are 100% correct. I have seen stupid high prices on exhaust for bikes like the Honda 750.

These are the last group pictures that I took around mid 2012. The cruisers on one side of the driveway and the touring on the other.

Since I downloaded Windows 10 I have been unable to post pictures that are little more than thumbnails.

Here is an example of that with the 16 Heritage Classic.

Default If that's what makes you happy

Good for you, but I don't get it. Maybe if you collected knuckleheads..........it would make sense.
