Vintage Days at Mid Ohio 2012

It is about time you decided to show up. Roy

What Roy said. I'm planning on being there not sure yet what I want to bring to sell. At the rate I've been selling bikes lately I might not have any left by then. I hope to have the XS650 Yamaha done by then since that is one bike I have no interest in keeping or even riding for that matter. There seems to be an almost cult-like following for those turds though.

This bike is almost too nice to turn into a bobber. It's an 81 with the mag wheels and only has 5700 miles on it. Still has the original tires on it. It needs a paint job done to it and some cleaning other than that it's pretty much ready to go. I've got a new battery ready to be juiced up and I've had it running on a jumper battery (thought it was going to vibrate my screened in porch apart) but that's pretty much the nature of the beast. I've actually seen some neat trackers built from these as well as a couple of trick cafe racers but they just shake too much and are too slow for my taste.

I cant wait to see you guys this year, its been a while.

i hear you i didnt know it was a nice one choping it up would be a sin, i need a peice of junk that runs.

I'm planning on going, not sure if my bike will be road worthy by then, but it will be best to take the truck just in case something needs to come live at my house :laugh:

Im going to be coming in a car since the guy that was painting my bike took off with the tank, side covers and tail, motor mounts, battery box and electrical junction. Im bringing some parts to sell so i can get the stuff i need to get my Z1 back on the road.

i heard Craig Vetter is going to be a guest of honer..or judging or something like that...great guy...bring your old fairings he'll sign em...hit him up for stickers he carries em i think...

have fun...take pics

he sets up a nice booth here at the quail show and mingles

here is a friend of his ninja 250 powered gas saver project...rode it cross country and back and told me it has grocery storage in the back




his first fairing

As luck would have it I just put a Windjammer on my 78 1000 A this spring and I'm getting another one for my 80 650 F tomorrow night from up in Wisconsin. I have to make a 1100 mile round trip to get a boat I bought from up around Appleton and the fairing is on the way. I'm hating the thought of that drive though. :sick:

Here's some photos and a story from last year when Kawasaki was the featured marque, to get everyone in the mood for this year. If you've never been, it's a good time.
