    I like most of the bikes you owned specially XL 250,and CB 750. my not so immediate plan is to find a XL 250 used one and completely re do it my self.

    Always wanted one of these, but didn't get around to it til I was 40. Then figured out that I was a VFR kinda guy!

    My first REAL motorcycle was a 1977 Honda 400/4 Supersport. It was identical to the picture, but of course, mine wasn't new. I bought it in 1980. In 1982 I sold it and bought a new CB900 Custom. It had the really cool dual range transmission with the heel/toe High/Low range shift lever. Mine didn't have the six-pack rack or highway pegs like the one in the picture, otherwise identical.

    Cheers,
    Glenn

    Well Slovcan it is surprising to see a fellow 1990 VFR owner so close, I never figured There would be another surviving 1990 VFR in NS

    My first bike was a 1976 Kawasaki KZ400. My first Honda was a 1987 CBR600F Hurricane and I currently have a 1993 CBR600F2, 2004 RC51, 2014 VFR800F. Here is a few pictures of my 87 CBR600F and 1993 CBR600F2.

    Some very cool bikes members have/had
    The TL 250 was so cool and very rare up here, I have seen a TL125 but never a 250, she's a keeper
    The SL350 is also a piece, if my memory is correct the SL had special engine cases to fit the double down tube frame, the engine gearing was also different then the CB350's
    I had a rough one and I think the aqua green tank and aluminum fenders are here after I donated the frame and engine to a buddy who built a very nice CB350 vintage racer ( frame a lot stiffer then the CB's )

    Yeah, I just spent 3 hrs doing our neighbours' (Navy Vet) two 50' driveways and our 120' driveway. The snow was 20-40 cm deep. There's another 35-40 cm forecast for Monday and Tuesday down here.

    I'll be at AMP sometime next summer - probably for the cars first, though. I raced a Scirocco there in a previous life. Maybe I'll see you there.

    Cheers,
    Glenn
