But the ones I had to do with with real off road bikes, not street bikes that would go off road. I remember readong how the magazines raved ...

It weighed 200 lbs. and lots of power.

I have some of my first Phantom when I brought it home I'll post up.

Re: Ice racing

I think the green car behind the hippie kid on the bike is a Studabaker Lark or a Rambler American. It was traded in on the the poop brown Datsun 210 in the Benelli picture. HA! It was very fast, even if it looked horrible. I got the Benelli from the same dealer as the OSSA GPII. (Before I was a de...

Lotus Cortina.

Last one I saw for sale was over $35k now...

Re: spring ride.

A shorter ride could be going back over Piedmont road instead of out to 113.
Most of the route the same.

I don't have any street vintage bikes though...

Re: Discussion on rides when the weather gets better!
