Wine and slow riding sounds pretty good. Do they eat chili in Chile?



Oh, 1st post.

Awsome article! It's like stepping back in time to an era of when most of the bikes were born, and then some. There are a lot of places in Northern Ca. that I have seen that could be nice to do that in. But you have to put up with a lot of tourists, traffic, and high prices. Too bad you have to travel half the world to enjoy a ride like that.

Interesting article. Thanks Paul. Love the pictures...

Fun read.

I often think about owning a vintage bike, but the guys I know that have them are always "working" on one thing or another. They usually are trying to find some part from 1958 and they are much better with a wrench.

I'm afraid when it breaks it will stay broke. Maybe I could duplicate the experience with a 2005 Super Glide.(just kidding)

Thanks for the article....I always appreciate a vintage themed piece. This tour seems really cool.....lots of folk with vintage stuff dont ride em thwemselves much les you ride it. Another experience to put on my "gotta do one day list"

Now that is an adventure tour. If you've never tried flipped brake/shifting, take plenty of time to get used to it. If you think learning BMW controls is a challenge, boy are you in for a treat. Especially if the shift pattern is reversed too.

Our summer is their winter so right now it's chiily down there.

I once raced three different classes in a vintage MX....1 bike was right side shift 1 up 3 down;one was rt.side 1down 4 up and one was left side shift 1 down 4 up. Im still not sure why I didnt die.

Try duplicating it with an 05 Royal Enfield.

Sometime I feel like I am trying it on a '04 Duc.

I hate to hit the starter and nothing.

 

[seruzawa]

Pick up a vintage Duc. They used to have this clever device called a "kick starter". People used to actually be able to start a motorcycle with a dead battery with one of these "kick starters".

This would be a nice ride except for the wine. How bout a beer what the heck do you guys have against a good lagar. Do they have radical militia problems in chile I will have to check janes and find out if I get Oldman Napped I want it to be with a bunch of lagar drinking amazonian women who love a fat man on viagra.

I needed one on my '93 907ie, Ever try to bump start one of those 50 miles from home when there's not enough juice to power the FI?

 

[Fenton]

Thanks for the visual

Beautiful article. Beautiful bikes! LOOOVE that Motobi.

The fact is if you party with a bunch of amazonian women in thongs it would be much classier if you sipped Cabernet Savignon.

Great article and pix ~ love that BSA Gold Star, always wanted one but was too busy raising a family to afford one.



I started riding in 1948 when I bought my first Harley after getting out of the Navy.

I'm stilling riding today and have a Suzuki SV650, which is the most fun street ride I've ever owned.



Oregon has great roads to ride on without much traffic, much better than Calif where I moved from in '90.

I wasn't aware it quit raining in Oregon.
