Nice bike! The thing I always loved about the 1300 is the sound. Engine is so understressed too. Very cool!

Thanks all,

This wasn't a project I was looking for, word came to me about a guy that had a 1300, and I just wanted to see one in person. I bought it knowing there was going to be some serious work involved. Not the "cool" stuff like performance parts and trick wheels, just the boring everyday parts were going to be a challenge. The engine in this these really is something special, and beautifully made. If you ever have the opportunity to drive one, don't pass it up.


Dave,

Thanks for keeping BOTM alive and well. Always nice to see so many great motorcycles proudly displayed on the front page.

Keep up the good work man!
If I knew what I was doing all the time life wouldn't be any fun.
