Post a pic of your latest purchase

My Dad bought a new Mercury Comet Caliente' in '64 with a HiPo 289, quick little car. 8)
The good thing about them is that they share a chassis with the first-gen Mustangs, so all the aftermarket suspension goodies bolt right up.

mmmhmmm.. suspension is on the summer bucket list.

I waited till after it sold so no-one can say I'm trying to sell it -- I bought this bike with a BUNCH of aftermarket chrome on it which went onto one of mine - Popped all my boring stock stuff on this one and sold it for what I paid to begin with - Former owner thought it needed an ignition box - Turned out to be a clutch safety switch

'78 CB550K - 15K miles . . . just when I thought you could no longer find super deals on older CBs

That looks beautiful!

Thanks, I've been trying to liquidate, but more bikes keep finding their way onto my trailer! ;D Couldn't pass it up for the price.

 

[Mr.E]

Yeah buckeye, that is a nice bike there. I also have the "it was such a good deal disease" too! And I don't think any of us want a cure.

You guys are contagious.

First two from the left are new. Not shown is three recycling bins full of engine parts.

These showed up a week ago and I've been misbehaving with them the whole time, as shown in the thread I've started.

Yes it is... I am really happy with the quaility of the seat I got the seat pad and did not even order it... its way nice sucks that I may have to cut it down a bit but whatever ill just get it sewed

 

[buckeyebike]

MrE- lol, I get down to a managable number of bikes/projects and then several more show up. It's a problem, but a good one I guess :-\

 

[DreadRock]

Been waiting on this for the 500 ....

 

[VonYinzer]

Not actually a purchase. A friend called and said that one of his customers was going to throw this away. So, he grabbed it and called me. Now I own more junk. Hahaha. Im picking it up tonight.

 

[Mr.E]

That's not junk! Remember that trash really is treasure...

 

[honda53rider]

Not the best brand or the most expensive but i have a friend that rides on this tire on his CB350 and he likes them so i thought id try them out

 

[Swagger]

Looks like a Shinko 712. I'm running them on my bike. Been a real good tire at a great price.

 

[VonYinzer]

I love Shinko tires

Bought mine in march of 2010. Even after all the trips I put on them last year, this is what they look like. Hauled my ass around the Dragon, down to Barber and back, over to Cleveland, and to and from work as much as possible. No trouble in the rain, on grooves, etc. I'll be buying them again.
