Do you ride a motorcycle?

I was struggling to keep older bikes running and needed something reliable (new) then saw this for sale near my work. May be the slowest bike I've owned but I'll be damned if it ain't one of the classiest lookin'. Rode full-time even through two winters on it but I've got nothing left to prove to myself or anybody else so I parked it this year and got a beater. 'Bout time to fire it back up.

Most impressive!

Is that a vulcan 800 sitting in your shop?

I always liked to work on the Kawa - pretty simple and an almost perfect base for a custom bike ...

Wow!! Good eye! Yeah, Vulcan VN800B. One of the best mid weight bikes out there, in my opinion. I painted that one in 58’ Corvette colors, NOS vette emblems, and won a few bike shows with it.

That's one nice scooter!

Winter on the motorbike? I did that when i was still ridin' a moped in the age of 16 when no car-driving license was possible but never on a motorbike.

I'm absolutely your opinion abvout those Vulcans:
- much lighter than any HD
- reliable
- easy to work on

Cool color + cool idea with those emblems

Thanks mate!

At some point i realised i had too many bikes but no time for riding 'n wrenching - this is when i started to "cull the herd" with remaining a SPORTY for my wife, the SLIM i ride and a 50cc VESPA to cruise in shorts and flipflops.

The PAN was a blast to ride but each hour ridin' required 2 hrs prepping her and post-ride was almost the same. That was the main reason to let her go ...
