    30 Yr old bike pics.....as per RetroGrouch's request...

    So I'll start off with my old lady. She has about 30000Kms on her. Recently changed speedo unit and it is an American one that shows 51000 miles, but I'll fix that one day soon.

    Wow, a thread dedicated to me I'm truly flattered. Now let's see some more of those great oldies.

    Perhaps, instead of starting a new thread on the request of retrogrouch, that you contribute to the thread I started over 2 years ago, which includes all bikes 10 years and older. Just a thought.

    Now, while there may be many 30+ year old motorcycle photos posted, there are also some really cool rides from the 1980's and 1990's that might offend retro-snobs that only like 30+ year old Hondas and Z1 Kawi's.
