NFR motorcycles

Nice bike. There's something about black and chrome that just looks right. I owned an older Suzuki GL1000 that I had painted metal flake black. As a four cylinder it had lots of chrome to balance the black. I sold it in favor of the Shadow I own now. Kind'a wish I could have kept it for ol' time sake.

It was actually black over a lilac pearl. When the sun hit it a just the right angle it would really "pop"!

A few I've had over the years:

My first. a 1972 CB750. Learned to ride in Brooklyn, rode it all over the Northeast, up into Nova Scotia.

Someday I'll regret selling it. It was mostly stock and a ratty, in all the right ways. I rebuilt every single part on it. Rode to get engaged, road it immediately after we got married, road all over the place with my wife. She already regrets me selling it.

Nearing 84 it would be nice to have a new Honda Trail 125 to ride around the ranch, go get mail or ride some of the many forest service roads around here. But no one to ride with so it ain't gonna happen. Would sure be fun though......

Looks a lot like my Superglide, except I've dual V&H straight pipes and alloy wheels (keeping spokes and rims clean drives me crazy).
