I've always had a soft spot for the Hawk - wanted one since they came out when I was 16!

Transport went just fine. Nice couple who brought her down. This is their business and they go all over the country except the far west and northwest.

Both born in Cuba. Currently living in Cape Coral, my old stomping ground when I lived in Ft Myers and bought my first home in Lehigh Acres.

What's special about this bike is it's one of the few that Honda built at their plant in Marysville, Ohio. It's an '87 VFR700F Interceptor. Pretty close to the same as my white '86 in the photos I posted above.

Could use a little cosmetic work but not much. Rides as incredible as the first one I bought back in '97, which was also one of those rare Marysville, Ohio builds.

Also, this one has a Yoshimura slip on exhaust - never had one of those before!

Looks GREAT Bazza!!

I think my favorite Interceptors are the ones with the White, Red, Blue color scheme but of the Solid Colors I think I do like the White the best.

It's just such a clean look on that model.

Thanks, @tusks_n_raider - lot of folks feel the same way!

I finally got my '84 ready for a test ride and will post a pic of it as soon as I get her off my lift table so you can see her better.

I didn't think I'd be getting another bike - at least for a while.

But this one came on the market and was too good to pass up @crimsonaudio

'86 VF500F Interceptor

All new paint and mechanically restored. Had to drive to St Cloud to pick up. Seller super nice guy. Transaction was fantastic.

Best of all - this bike runs and rides PERFECT!

They are beautiful machines, no question. I just spent too many of my working years in hospitals in general and ERs in particular. You guys be careful out there!

The two motorcycles I've had

1969 Suzuki 50 when I was in Jr HS



1995 Harley Superglide. If I can dig up picks I'll post them, but this one is real close, except I put a Wide Glide gas tank on mine

I'm the motor, and this is my cycle shown at night over the Blue Ridge mountains.

Would like to obtain a Ruckus some day....they look like a blast!

Feeling good about resolving a mechanical issue on my '84. It wasn't starting - as in just a click at the starter relay. No action at the starter. Did a bunch of diagnostics to rule some stuff out before determining the starter was at fault. I happened to have a replacement in my spares so set about to replace it. Had to drain the coolant and take the oil filter off so did an oil and filter change and she now has fresh coolant.

The new starter wasn't going in and I finally figured out it was because the o-ring was too fat! So I swapped it with the old o-ring and now all's well that ends well.

I'll get her off the lift table tomorrow.

Stoked!

New starter/o-ring on right





Pretty easy to work on using a lift table.......




What a great looking bike!

 

[Bazza]

Ran over tonight just before we got hit by a rain storm to work on a couple of my bikes. Took the edge off the temperature and now I got this work done so can do other stuff tomorrow.

At one point I had all 3 going, except the Red RC36. Reminded me of what we referred to in legendary 3 piece rock bands...James Gang, Rush, Hendrix, Cream, etc. etc.....




Going to bring this one home to ride for a week or so..........

Honda 55 Trail Bike. Mine was like this one, only mine had a tiger seat. I delivered the morning paper on this bike at age 13. It's the only bike I ever owned.

Holy cow....this B.a.T. auction just ended......$9.1K for this 1st Gen Interceptor!

It's a beautiful and iconic machine in very good condition with relatively low mileage sure but no way the sales price would have reached this high on any other selling platform......

Say what you want but I'd rock the heck out of that bike

This might be of interest to others with motorcycles.

Some of my bikes are in a storage unit right now. One day I hope to have a better storage option, but this works for now. Except there's no electricity in the storage unit to keep a battery maintainer on them. So I bought this Jackery 240 power bank (~$175 from Amazon) which will provide AC to power my charger/maintainer. I have a splitter on the AC output with two charger/maintainers hooked up at once.

Used it for the first time today and so far I'm impressed!

Ironically, while there today I discovered a 15'x30' unit that does have electricity...two lighting fixtures and 2 outlets...so I grabbed it and will be consolidating most of my stored stuff in there. Decent price on the unit and I may pre-pay a year ahead to avoid rental increases.



It has two doors...the one that's open and the one on the far right.......

Do you think you could get away with taking a ladder, lay a solar panel on the roof and hook it up to the Jackery?

Yeah, I asked if this would be OK right after I started bringing over my bikes and was turned down. Guess they had a big fire a few years back and did away with a lot of stuff. Otherwise that would work great!
