Default Rockerbox motorcyle show pics

I've been waiting for this show to come for the past few months. Vintage jap, euro, us, etc. It has a few newer sport bikes but maybe about 10-15. everything else was well worth the hour and a half drive down to milwaukee from my house. I didn't get my bike entered because...well it's fugly and a work in progress. Next year it'll be in. Not too many pics cause I forgot my memory card and my camera only holds 20 pics without it.

Hell ------- yeah! I'm starting to save up for a Triumph Thruxton. Yeah it's no classic Triumph but I plan on making it my DD so classic british bikes and reliability don't go hand in hand. I don't see anymore car projects for a VERY long time...if at all. The Volvo only gets parts if something breaks...and then it's just a stock replacement. Working on cars doesn't even tickle my fancy anymore like it used to. I cringe if I even have to change the oil on my car or wife's. Hell I've started to even take my car to be worked on if I'm not broke.

Minimal is more. Sportbikes started somewhere and this it is. If you know me then you know I'm an old fashion guy. I like old music and old rides. I just got my Volvo cause I wanted something safe for my family and needed four doors for my new wrench getter. It's auto also so it's just another reason to keep me from wanting to do ---- to it to make it faster.

AWD uses a stupid bevel gear that leaks because it's a halfassed way to make those cars spin all four tires.

The B5254 is a sweet motor, so is the older 2.4L version. Only thing that's lame is FWD.
