Beautiful bike. I bet any wheel on it is going to be working hard for it's money! Makes mine look small.
Sorry, but there ain't no bike out there worth double the price of my first house, but that's just me.

Thank you.
Keeping it nice takes more work than money, but it still takes a lot of money.
He finds some unbelievable bikes. Prices are bonkers, but someone will buy it. They have a nice museum onsite that I plan on taking a ride to this year.

If you own one you'll understand.
I went to help out a friend with a 1934 Packard with carb problems. In his garage is a restored 1942 WL.
The WL has been punched out to 57" and has a Servi-car trans with reverse for the future addition of a period correct sidecar.
As for the Packard, I found the problem and there will be a carb rebuild happening on my bench in a couple weeks. There wasn't enough room in the owners garage for a good pic of the car but here's one of the engine.
And one of the dash.
My fee for rebuilding the carb? He provides the kit and I get to drive the Packard for a few miles.

There’s some great looking bikes in this thread. Mine is nothing special, but it’s a lot fun for me.

Got the replacement wheel assembled (new bearings, brake rotor, & drive pulley, along with a metal, T-type valve stem and stainless, 12pt ARP bolts), tire mounted, and installed on the bike last night.
The T-type valve stem allows me to keep the FOBO2 sensor mounted while adjusting the pressure through the lower valve.
They are a brilliant design, and the cost reflects it; a pair of them cost me almost $50.

Here's my '01 CR250 on the day I rescued it from a neglectful owner.
And as it currently sits with some "woods weapon" enhancements.

My current two-wheeler . . . '05 Suzuki C90.
I've owned it since 2012. Custom touches I've done include paint (Hot Rod Flatz), installed the fairing, bags and trunk, fabricated true-duals and blacked out almost all the chrome.
I also have an '87 Harley FLTCU that runs, but is somewhat a basket case. If/when I find some time to work on it, it will get "bobber" styling.
