OldGuy’s OldBikes

Well, ladies and gentlemen what can I say. I took this up as a hobby about 8 years ago. I picked up a couple cheap bike on Marketplace and proceeded to make a ton of errors but still managed to get them back together and running My first 2 bikes were street bikes. A Yamaha Maxim 550 which I ended up passing on to my son, and a Suzuki GSX1100GS that I ended up riding all the way to North Carolina from my home in Illinois. Next was a Honda GL500 Silverwing that I gifted to my other son out on the left coast in Oregon. None of these bikes ran when I brought them home . I put together a XV750 that was missing a few parts because the owner was parting it out. The day I brought it home I hooked up a battery just to see if it would turn over and I was shocked because it started up and ran on what was in the float bowl. At that point I bought a GoPro and switched to mostly 2 stroke enduros and dirt bikes and here I am today.
