Since Horvath doesn't believe I have a Suzuki GT380 and seems to
think those ugly, shaking, oil-dripping, parts-shedding Harleys are
something to brag about, I figured I'd take and post some pictures
of a motorcycle to be proud of.

Even Horvath will enjoy such perfection!

I'm surprised boob doesn't own one ( or ask his wife to buy one), most
of the guys buy them so they can sit at a bar and talk about their
Harley.

There are several biker rallies coming down to Key West
all year round. I rarely see a Japanese or European
bike on a trailer. They are ridden because they are
comfortable and reliable.

I do see many Harleys hauled down on trailers so
they can be unloaded in Key West and ridden there.
Pathetic that Harleys are so unreliable that they
cannot be trusted to arrive on their own wheels.

Even more pathetic that some Harley owners ride
around Key West acting like studs when their iron
is tailored in. Pahteuy!

A well maintained piece of equipment is always appreciated...

Thats a super clean bike for its age.

Back in the early 80's I had a Yahama RD350 it could smoke any big bike
on the road in the quarter mile.

I suggest you put down bars on it and if you can find one a 1/4 faring.
Nothing like a nice cafe racer.

Stock bike for stock bike, the Yamaha RD 350's were untouchable
because they were powerful and LIGHT. My GT380 was no match
because it was quite a bit heavier. When I got done souping it up,
though, it could beat stock RD 350's all day long.

Tell you what, though. Put some 32mm Mikunis and a nice pair
of chromed expansion chambers and screw the right jets into
those monster carbs and even a Kawasaki 500 triple couldn't
touch an RD350 in the quarter.

I'm old now and don't like that bent down position of a
cafe racer. I do have a nice, matching, silver WindjammerSS
with lowers for long-distance touring. It looks great in
cruising mode. Been all over the country with it.
