The Antique Motorcycle Club of America has had a
35 year year rolling definition,
so that’s 1982, I suppose ...
... I’m guessing the rolling 35 year AMCA
will change, or in six years my water-cooled,
fuel injected ‘88 K75s will qualify for
the AMCA ... I’m loooking forward
to my ‘85 Evo qualifying in 2020 ... :laughing
... the AFM has (had?) a Super Dinosaur Class
that was ten years old ... always enjoyed looking
at those race bikes ...
I’d say we’re pretty flexible on Vintage Cafe ... :thumbup

Here's our '76 KH100:
About 4500 miles. Runs well, just need to fix a couple frayed wires to get the lights working again, and keeping it stock after that. Anybody have any luck using LED bulbs on a 6V bike?
It's great having an old bike that already works, instead of starting with a complete basket case -- as I've done with a project car in the past!

My buddy built a custom turbocharged mono-shock monster out of one of these back in 1980, as his design/build project for his engineering degree.
It had a giant garret turbo, ran 30psi boost, water methanol injection, pressure retarded ignition and a giant plenum chamber. It also snapped a duplex chain while on one wheel at >100MPH at a dragstrip. :wow :ride

Looks like a Brit bike with chopperish front end, extended forks and all.
A triple pox on thieves!

all this hoo-ha has me remembering how local hot shoe Tyler O'Hara wuz ROBBED! @ the XR1200 finale when he playfully grabbed Barney's ass to dispute 1st on their way to checkers
it was a friendly, common-in-FT move that cost him big -
DQ cost him mucho $$ & his place on 'ship podium.....

Re Tired Not Dead
Shit. It appears I can't insert a OneDrive or a DropBox link to my photo(s).
I'll work on a way to get this image to load.

A beauty shot of the KZ550 I turned into a "Street Tracker".
The swing-arm is from a ZX9, the wheels and forks from a ZX6.
Frame was mostly de-tabbed. Hand built wiring harness with ATO mini-fuses and auto-reset circuit breakers.
It took me a long winter of poking it with a stick in the garage to get it finished.
Oh - it's also for sale as of Nov 20,2018.
