My wife would prefer to have open garage space, but I tend to hold onto every bike I've had. Here are my non-CA95 bikes:

My daily rider is a Triumph Legend triple:

My very first motorcycle was (and still is) this '65 Honda C102 Super Cub, and it's still in the garage and still awesome:

http://www.forths.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Honda_Super_Cub_1.jpg

Last year's restoration was a '72 CB175 with only 2074 miles on it. I ride this quite a bit:

http://www.forths.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/DSC00495.jpg

Finally, I have this 1967 Bianchi moped - one of just 800 imported into the US, that has a cool folding frame, so I can bring it along on the boat or in the trunk of a car:

A bit of my two wheeled machines; not pictured: 2 early 70's mini bikes with Tecumseh style motors and 3 other bikes that I rebuilt and flipped, no photos no forums on those; I was very anti computer for several years after windows 3.1 came out; it made the college degree I was about to finish in computer engineering virtually worthless, plus I just got burnt out on comps, I dropped out with one class left...I still get that way from time to time; disappear and wipe all web presence, starting to feel that itch lately...we'll see.

Top 5 in picture; not my photos but exactly what they looked like.
http://i418.photobucket.com/albums/pp263/skatetrix72/cycle1.jpg
Top left: Benelli; fun little bike perhaps I'll get another and restore it some day. Got lost in a garage fire.

Top right: Honda Spree Rode it every where my Yamaha went, woods trails etc. and DT couldn't go AKA highway never broke down and it went through more hell than a scooter should. My Mom sold it at a yard sale while I was on a road trip.

Middle left: Yamaha DT100 super fun bike, yes it had bad ass purple metal flake paint! Poor off the line; but could eventually get the needle pegged in about 1/2 a mile. Rotting somewhere in Alabama.

Middle middle: Suzuki GS, fun solid bike somewhere in VA at a relatives house? I don't know if i'll ever see it again.

Middle right: Virago shaft drive, room mates brother gave to him, he gave to me, room mate asked for it back, because his brother wanted it back, didn't know he had given it to me. Minor things always broke, so I wasn't sad to give it back to room mate, his brother sold it since my room mate wasn't going to use it.

Bottom left; CA95 my baby; first motorcycle I ever rode on the back of when I was like 2 or 3. It was in much worse shape than pictured, no front fender/side covers/speedo; a nasty rust orange red color, Basically just a frame, forks, motor and mauled wiring.

Bottom right; mid way to what it is now; the last still picture taken of it in side profile I think. Video's of it can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/jetblackchemistry?feature=results_main

Bottom picture: Kawasaki 454ltd current bike building; Maybe 3 to 4 months away max in completion? Build updates found here: http://fourwheelforum.com/showthread.php?t=1564

Ok, this is embarrassing, but if you get a giggle out of it, then that's fine.

My dad was working on getting his 1904 Oldsmobile Curved Dash running, and on a sunny day back in '65, I remember it roaring to life. It was a one-cylinder 95 cubic inch engine, and I remember that the darned thing shook like a paint shaker when it ran. In the picture below, only the chassis is assembled. The leather top and shiny metalwork were in the garage.

I was terrified - but I was only 2 years old. I'm the kid with the deer-in-the-headlights look below, sporting a haircut that only the current leader of North Korea can relate to.

Just started to tear down the Benly. I got back into bikes about 10 years ago and started by cleaning up a CB750 I had since new, then a friend gave me a frame for another 750 so I built another one. One thing let to another and over the years a CB750K0, a CB750F and the Benly were given to me. My wife wanted to do some touring so the Goldwing was bought in 2007. The build budget is a bit tight right now so it's tear down and see what we got time on the Benly. The K0 is waiting for paint and pipes, the F is a nice rider but will need some cosmetic attention this winter. Cliff.

I wanted to kick in my latest project sitting next to the Build from Scratch.

A basic comparison between a 65 Honda CA95 and a 66 Honda CA160

SPOKES: Your paint job came out great ! How come no whitewalls??? They would POP on that Benly! Oh what I would do to sit under that tree next to that pond, with a line tied to my big toe sipping on a beer...well, you know the rest of the story. Can't wait to see the finished product......

Thanks 1911tex. I'm out to lunch about the whitewall tires. The tires are Firestones, just blackwalls. Yea, lifes tough here in GA. The lake has a road all around it giving me my own personal oval test track. There are so many fish in the lake that the neighbors grand kids fish with just a line with chunks of donut on it. The preim (bluegill up north)hit within seconds. Some folks stop by just to catch catfish. My next CA95 will be here in October and will be my winter project. Maybe if the spirit moves me I may do whitewalls..

I am also building custom Buco Twinmaster Saddlebags for this bike, to which a thread will be started about that. The bags will be radical. BTW, I really enjoyed discussing your bike.

I know your 160 will be done RIGHT. If and when you get ready to sell it, let me know and I will check my wife's purse when she is not looking. Never know which mood she is in..............

I just mounted the new firestone whitewalls on the rims of my Benly. They look great on the rims, but cant wait to put them my '63. I might take a picture manana of the wheels and post it. Interesting, the new tires have plastic peel off film protecting the whitewalls.....not soap washable stuff like years ago. Like ByThelake said, they were a bear to install...whew. Never again...dealer next time like you suggested and I didnt take the hint.

Here you go...just mounted the whitewalls on the rims....will post a before and after next week when installed on my '63....plastic covering still on the whitewalls to protect them during installation...also "tuned" the spokes...all the same note (many dead ones now pinging correctly).........

The white CA160 should be finished in 6 weeks. I usually license and insure the bikes and then put a couple of hundred miles on them before I let'em go. You will get dibbs before the public....
