any of you folks into 'em? once upon a time my dad broke his neck racing motorcross so i never have been until just recently. my sis picked up a 71 honda cb350 and it's fucking cool. has me hooked and shopping around now...

Oh shit '70's CB350's are my FAVORITE... They go for STUPID prices now in Austin cause EVERYONE'S CAFE NOW!!! Search CL in OH for CB or Cafe and I'm sure you can find one for cheap...

Paging MM...

yeah dude i've been digging through craigslist the past few days, tons of oldies for under $600. can't get the same thing my sis got, got find something similar but not exactly the same... which is totally understandable for both of us but kind of a bummer too because i already found the exact same bike for $495.

Here they went from under $800 in '06-'07 to over $2500 today...

i bet housing costs there have grown the same way, haven't they?
also what's the "cafe" you mentioned?

oof nevermind... racer version of the CB that's WAY higher. looks like those are $2k+ here too.

how do you guys afford the insane insurance

i don't have a bike yet & haven't looked into that... knock on wood but i do have a totally clean record...

Case in point...



1977 Honda CB 750 SOHC - $4000 (East Austin)

No you can still live cheapish in places...

Cafe is the style they are doing now which copies old European bikes...

We just had the Republic Of Texas Biker Rally in town this past weekend... BIKES EVERYWHERE!!!

Cafe racer bikes are the best.
Those and the stuff they were rocking in the 40s...the GI bikes.
I wish I lived in a less populated area where I wouldn't be so afraid of getting flattened.

oh the ones i saw on craigs were actual oldies w/ cafe in their description...

i'm going to AMA vintage days in lexington ohio next month, if i haven't found a bike yet by then hope i do there!

Cafe = European...

My favorite ever was the old G.I. Joe Motorcycle that came out in the '80's... It had that removable windscreen... I used to put Rock n' Roll or Ranger on the back of that thing and take it everywhere... I think that's were I got my love for that style...

yeah that's another fear factor thing i'll be working through, i'm uncomfortable driving a car near motorcycles, not like hatred fear of semis but worried for their sake. getting into this i'm just looking for a bike to tool around town on, maybe someday i'll get to a point where i'll wanna hit the highway but no time soon.

i also will always wear a helmet anytime i'm dealing w/ traffic. that i ordered last night! so many fucking idiots out there riding around without 'em. i was driving 80mph on i-70e saturday and had a guy freaking fly by me without one. those types wind up beheaded, they fucking deserved it...

(& yes i know one could actually be beheaded with a helmet on. term just felt fitting.)

Love em, great fun to ride. Don't know if I'd own one living in such a cold rainy country though. Maybe get one in the future if I had the money to keep a bike I could only ride every so often.
