Yeah, but that's only good through July 3. What are your plans for celebrating July 4? :icon_razz:

Someone (with a sense of humour) thought this 97 GS5 was worth displaying.....complete with rusty headers, scored discs, a leaking base gasket, duct-taped seat and a silencer made from an old cigar can !

I and many others thought Best in show should have gone to this amazing ex basket case RE5. A total nut and bolt rebuild, the owner sourced spares from all over the world, took him 8 years. Seen one or two before but never heard one run......sounded like a vaccum cleaner when it owner ran it up.

However....BIS went to this......Contoversial but the judges call is final, must have been the shiney tank that did it.

Good call. Hodaka??.....yes. Wombat no.

Its an Ace 90 and unbelievably rare in the UK.

I don't know anything about Hodaka except they had a couple funny names for bikes. And they put some awesome tanks on their bikes.
