Not me, I don't have one. But if it isn't out of line, you guys with a collection of older bikes could post some pics. I have a weakness for two stroke triples and older enduros.

Nice bike, Bob, but it's not "old school", vintage, an enduro, or a 2-stroke triple, so, uh, what's up?  :stickpoke:

I sorry that the 91 GSXR doesn't meet with your interpretation of "Old School", but around here and at the dragstrip, they are refered to as "Old School". :boohoo:

Is this old enough.
Between my brother and I, we owned this bike for 30+ years. I bought it from my brother in 1990 as a basket case, for $500., I sold it a couple of years ago to be used as a vintage racer. 1970, 750 Norton

Well, it's aluminum cradle frame, single-shock aluminum swingarm, 4-valve per cyl. head, dual-disc front brakes, and full plastic fairing... and only 16 years old. I believe "vintage" refers to 25 years or older?

I guess you count "old school" as air-cooled/carbureted. Sorry, my mistake.  :lol:

What are you guys riding at the dragstrip these days? Nuclear-powered hovercraft?  :stickpoke:  :bandit:

Now yer talkin'!!!  :bigok:

That's a beautiful Norton... I've had two, and of all the bikes I've sold, the Nortons are the biggest regrets. Love to have the $$$ to buy one now, but I ain't rich...  :sad:

The original post never said anything about "vintage" and only mentioned a weakness for 2-stroke triples and enduros.

And if ya don't think BHolland's GSXR is old school, better not say that around any of the folks at http://www.oldskoolsuzuki.info/  :lol:

My current old bike isn't a two stroke triple or an enduro, but it is an >30 2smoke single...  :bandit:



I do miss my old RD350, but not quite enough to go out and buy another... some things are better left as memories, I think.



I also miss my Penton 125 (but not the gearbox full of neutrals).

All nice bikes. Thst's what I had in mind, not necessarily any restrictions that it must be a certain age. Just older bikes that aren't current production.

A 1991 is old school, huh?  :roll:

Well, maybe I don't know what "old school" is, but I do know what's getting real old. That's you, Red. Once again jumping my ass out of nowhere. What a suprise.

You know what? I've had enough of you're dogging me. Find somebody else to troll around the board.

Buh-bye.   :motorsmile:

Cargo7 hasn't posted for a while, so I'm posting a couple of pieces of his 1976 Yamaha RD400. These pics are from when it was in the Trev Deeley museum.





He's considering taking for a ride in '08. Nice bike.

Jumping your ass???
Just remiding you of what the original post said.
:wtf: Whatever.

I know you're as old or older than I am, and a 1991 may seem too new to be considered "old school" by folks our age - but it is a 16, almost 17, year old bike. In sportbikes, it IS old, even if it is younger than my youngest kid.
