This is a grainy blow-up of a grainy pic below.
A few posts back I had a snap of this bike at this years CJMC show in Auburn. I believe this is at a CJMC show up at Tahoe, about a dozen years or so ago.

Found some print outs on regular paper in a drawer, of some shots from that earlier show, maybe 2000-2001? My scanners down so went out and 'copied' them with my phone camera on the hood of my Ford Ranger...
Nicely done Honda.
This strange looking CB 550 was billed as a "European Block" bike, the owner said with 'tongue in cheek'.
Here a nice CB 350 engine in an SL 350 frame Flattracker. Going to tack this one on the wall to inspire me to get going on my Flattrackers...
A GB 500 and a Guzzi out in the parking area, next to our transport for the day...the even more faded looking purple dune buggy belonging to one of my friends...it lost it's muffler on the way home, and sounded like a race car...OK, enough early enhanced digital graininess...
Had to go snap this pic of a cool Falcon around the corner from me, so I could compare it to an Australian model Mr.Williams of the WLP blog posted of cars and bikes at a show down his way...Interestingly the one he pictured was quite a bit different, check out his blogpost if Falcon minutiae is interesting to ya---------------------->Australian Falcon<-------click here
Earlier this week, took a couple day mini-vacation down the coast to my mother's . 75 degree weather, it even rained a little Monday night, so nice in the Monterey area...As I was filling up the old gas tank, this beautiful '54 Hudson Hornet pulled into the station...
Two carbs...
And just for fun, probably have posted a pic of this before....at the Casa Da Fruta pit stop on the way to Monterey....
And on to the weekend, and getting some bike work accomplished...
Dredging it all up mate, way to go . . . I thought those GB jiggers were a pretty well thought out concept when they hit the shores of Oz, haven't seen one for yonks now . . . old #981 is perfect in both form and inspiration so I hope it has the desired effect for the weekend's garage activities Laz, and cheers for posting the Falc and the Hudson, tres cool.
ReplyDeleteI remember sitting on a GB at a shop when they came out and thinking it could be my next bike, until I saw that the sticker price was about par with a four cylinder crotch rocket sitting next to it...the salesman shook his head and said if Honda would have dropped the price some, he could sell a bunch...soon they were gone...and now they are rare and expensive around these parts. I sent some pics your way to the e-mail address that shows up when you leave a comment here...wondering if it got through...?
Delete'08 was a great year for the Zanger......I think.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the early Corbin saddle on this one...
DeleteCan you help me id the gas tank on that cb350 sl350 flat tracker? really digging the look and that particular tank. Looks to be a yamaha endure tank but which one I wonder?, thanks
ReplyDeleteTo 'caferacer' ...sorry not much better than you have...I'd guess one of the smaller Yamahas as well.Saw that bike a few years back...do recall it had a lot of Todd Henning's parts in it .
