A Car forum I am on has a "Michigan People" thread and I though there should be one here too.
How many MI people are here?
 
I grew up in South Lyon. I frequented the Graph, and Milan back in the early mid 80s on the same 73 I have posted pics of here. I lost the bike from 88-2005 and got her back.
 
Hey MI People! The Gilmore show is this weekend, the best vintage show in the state.

Took some shots of CB750's last year.

I talked to the owner, the guy did the most detailed restore I've ever seen. Every nut and bolt matches. Told me how hard it was to get the rubber wire cover that goes under the seat over the fender. He even found the original dealer Honda technician manual and re-marked all the bolts in the same ink the dealers used back in the 70s when a dealer would assemble a bike out of the create. Now that's detailed!
 
I did the ride on Saturday, but Sunday morning woke up to rain. So my wife and I decided (She hates riding in the rain, who can blame her) to just go later that afternoon by car. It really cleared up and I grumbled a bit. But I found some good deals at the swap meet. Like this cool 70 fairing for $8.

No way I could ride home with that. So I left happy.
