I felt bad about posting on top of the one and only member post so far..but that’s just the way this WordPress platform works…newest on top.
Anyway, did you all see the post from July 4th: NMAXXS’ Yamaha XS650SG? What I thought was so cool about this was that here’s another person that (at least it seems to me) is so passionate about a particular vintage bike that he operates a web site just for resources and information on that bike (http://www.mikesxs.net/).
To me, it’s kind of cool to see anything non-Harley get this enthusiasm. I have nothing against Harleys or many of the people that ride them. I do just shake my head when I see the yuppies riding them and getting their badass-wannabe attitudes while doing so. Brotherhood? I don’t think so. Yuppie by day and poser by night [complete with the HD logo leather getup and $600 exhaust pipes] – far more likely. I believe that if scooters made a massive comeback in popularity you would see many of the same people trade in their Harleys and leather for a Vespa and a closet full of turtlenecks.
Sorry – just venting. This site and me personally are not anti-Harley. We’re about vintage bikes. Join the site, participate and post. Thanks.

I think this could be a cool site and hope it grows. Glad I stumbled into it. I enjoy ALL vintage iron, but esp. British and am developing a “taste” for some old Japanese stuff. Hope this “flies”. ( I think it will)
