Your bike AND an old classic bike (MUST have a front drum brake and at least 350cc if a single, or 500cc if a twin) Extra credit if the rider is outfitted with classic gear (1950's helmet, gauntlet gloves and goggles)

I think youzguyz needs to pick us something new. Not my call. I abdicated to mpescatori, who wanted us to find old classic motorcycle. I ride a lot, and I see a lot of things. My problem is.. I am old and forget what I should be looking for!

Reply #1219 - 05/19/12 at 08:55:29 I forgot about this while I was there or I could have gotten a more specific picture. Red bike in center is my Triumph. There was a Vincent parked on the right end but I don't see it here, it must have left. Still the bike on the far right probably qualifies. I think it's a Java. Definitely a front drum brake.

I saved and magnified the pic to the best I could do, but other than a plethora of V-twins, Jeff's Triumph and a Suzuki RG-Gamma (the light blue cafe racer with full fairing) I could not see anything that looked like a 2-stroke, much less with a drum brake.

Pity, it must have been cropped out by mistake.

Nice roundup pic, Jeff, your call !!!

Cool

Well since I just picked up a new Fiat 500 I want to see a picture of your bike with a Fiat 500. Unless you live in Italy, that would be too easy. So if you're in Italy I'll accept a picture of your bike with a rear engined Fiat. If you go to a dealership for this pic be sure to get it with your favorite color. Mine is Azzurro.

Jeff, you actually bought the car ?

Kudos to you, man, you'll be smiling yopur ears off in tight and twisty roads !

I had read FIAT had decided to pull the 500 from the US market because of a lukewarm response from the dealerships...

What engine has it got ?

Here you can have the 1200cc in 60 and 75Hp guise, or the 1400cc in 84 and 100HP guise...
...or the ABARTH SS from 135 to 170HP versions... Shocked

Youtube is blocked from the office so enjoy this from Dailymotion
(Media is blocked here too but I can at least see the preview thumbnail...)

Cool

American 500's come with 1.4L "Multiair" engines that produce 101 hp. The only exception is the Abarth which has a turbocharged version of the same engine rated at 160 hp. I drove an Abarth and was disappointed and so went with a "Sport" model. I'm lovin' it.

Sorry I'm late with this one, but Mrs Doc has been helping her mother go to a better place -- specifically one where she's now getting the monitoring of her diet and diabetes that she needs at age 92!

Here's my California Triumph next to the non-retro version -- note that the engine is darned near identical!

Now, if you can look way down the line, you will see this guy at the other end:

That was at one of the UCLA bike parking areas. I was able to take Mrs Doc away from her filial duties long enough for a visit back to her old college, and a little canyon carving

Look close: you can see the story of the ride on the rear tire! The freeway portion, the canyon portion, and just enough chicken strip for two up travel on a public highway!
