With the weather man saying Sunday would be in the upper eighties with zero chance of rain, a trip to Michael’s was definitely a good idea. The turn out ended up being one of the largest I’ve ever seen. The parking lot was packed! Here are some highlights…

More from Michael's...

Fernando,

I really enjoy these posts and pics from Michael's ... keep 'em coming.

 

[Fernando Coelho]

Thanks, I'll keep 'em coming.

Hey that guy in the side-car looks familiar!

 

[Fernando Coelho]

I thought that was you! Why didn't you say hi?

Hey is that red bike in the upper left corner of the next to last pic a Honda CBX? I haven't seen many of those around. That is a really nice example.

Here is a better picture of it. I'll have to check with Munenn. He was checking out the bike when I snapped the picture.

That certainly looks like a CBX engine, but that is about all. The swingarm looks like it is off of a 954, but I can't tell where the frame or front end came from. Someone put in MUCH time and expense on that bike. Very nice ride!

Munenn do you have any details?

 

[Munenn]

I wish I did. I was speaking to a guy familiar with the Honda six (CB?), and he said the frame and motor were both modified stock. The swingarm is supposed to be from a 954 (good eyes, Munch), and I have no clue about the upside-down front fork.

The amount of work that went into that bike impressed the heck outta me. A CB-whatever inline 6 cyl. Cafe Racer? How cool is that?

Anyone else know more?

Sounds like someone needs to take a trip back to the Grill on Sunday and ask some questions. I'll bet you end up talking to a machinist!
