+1. No competition there.

Not often I'll bet. Those are so packed in there it would be a real chore to get some of them out and about.

It's winter. That's why they're packed tight. Only way to fit all 50 bikes in there. We're 6 people sharing space. I do not own all the bikes.

Gotcha.
So that is a storage room? Looks like a showroom floor for vintage machinery. Very nice set-up.

[kawah1c]

It's storage and working space. We're trying to keep it nice and clean.

Yah I remember that bike, back in 73 a friend of mine had one which was a 72, 2 stroke and a very fast machine. In 73 I had the Yamaha RD 350 which was almost as equally fast, but, not fast enough in the long run to beat him !!


You obviously didn't read my post right. I never said I beat him or kept up with him, but I still gave him a run for his money, considering I had more than half the cc's less than he had. So a 750 beating a 350 on the ¼ mile by a mere 2 seconds shows how fast that little RD350 really was.
