faffi Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 If you could pick the bike of your choice from the year you were born, what bike would that be? For me, it would be the 1964 CB77 Super Hawk 305. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member bornagainbiker Posted November 14, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted November 14, 2017 I would pick the 1958 Triumph Bonneville T120. Give Respect To Get Respect https://jeff-galbraith.pixels.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faffi Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 The T120, not to mention the Matchless CSR of the same vintage, is a fine looking machine. Unfortunately, the reliability didn't quite match its good looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that Triumphs of that vintage were known for leaking oil and leaving a trail of random parts in their wake, but they sure were cool.

Beemer Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I grew up when a lot of bikes had the chrome tanks w/knee pads and cool emblems so I love the 'looks' of the bikes from the 50's and 60's. My bike is this (drum roll) .................. The 1959 AJS model 31. Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregjet Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I thought the Black Shadow was a 53. Designed by another Aussie , the famous ( infamour) Phil Irving. http://www.bikesrestored.com/6449/vincent-black-shadow-1953/vincentblackshadow-1953-5 Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify...
