When your bike is worth three times your truck.

My dream bike has been a Vincent.

 

Mine too!

 

For now I’ll settle for this

 

Any more pictures of the Rapide?

 

That’s how it sits now. Had to swap out and go back to a stock tank, different carbs and all that fun stuff.

 

What part of Illinois? I’m in a burb of Des Moines, Iowa.

 

I’m in Phoenix now, the bike was built in high rise condos in chicago when I lived there.

 

Where did you store your bike?

 

it was inside my unit until I got it running, then luckily my garage at 100 E walton downtown was one of the very few that would rent a spot in their valet only garage.

 

my wife wouldn’t be that understanding.

 

I had my motorcycle in an apartment complex in New Mexico...until I got told, it's against the rules!

Really nice vintage bike for sure.

 

Is a 30 year old bmw considered old or vintage?

 

Looks like it belongs there.

 

Still weird to see a frame-less motorcycle.

 

A 1992 year bike...doesn't seem like that long ago but I would consider it vintage.

Of course, my bike is a 1982 Suzuki GS750T with rear drum brakes.
