Asking because it's yellow :shock: Why not ask about the bins on the walls while you're at it, they are also yellow :roll:

G'day mate if you're ever on the forum here.

Edit: TinyPic deleted my image. Why??? Reloaded and reposted the new link.
 
Finally got my '74 back together and out on the road. Was sweet to ride it on a sunny day. 24-tooth countershaft sprocket. It's got legs!

Here is a '74 I borrowed from a friend for awhile. It needed a bit of work, so I did the work and rode it around a bit. It pretty much set the fuse for me to buy back the black '74 I sold more than 10 years ago. One of these days, my bike will be photogenic again (it's rather apart in the garage at the moment), and I will take pictures of it, instead.

How did you succeed in keeping the chrome of the pipes without blueing? :idea:
 
Brand-new pipes, never run! I was jetting the carb, cleaning the oil tank and doing some other stuff before I actually got it out on the road. The pipes won't blue if you don't ride the bike... but if you ride it, there is pretty much no way to avoid it.

I thought I'd posted my Commando but went back through (enjoying the pictures) and didn't see it. So here it is (again?):

1975 MK111 Interstate , never restored , just well cared for by the two previous owners. The only changes from stock are the four pole starter, open peashooter exhaust and a super thin headgasket. The bike pulls really well, wouldnt change a thing.

I've tried to carry on with the maintenance and care program, but I have also used the bike quite a lot and it has been trouble free. Not too long ago did one memorable 600 mile day on it from Langley BC up the Fraser Canyon then at warp speed over the twisty but fun Duffey lake Mountain road out to the coast and back home via Pemberton, Whistler and Vancouver. I was following my friend on his fast Vincent, pretty much stuck to him like glue. In the really bendy stuff we left his son way back there somewhere on his Triumph Speed triple. Just having too much fun on a couple of old bikes!
