Cruisin with the guys...

So this past Sunday I got together with a few of my buddies and my dad and his friend for a short ride, went about 60 miles or so. It was a 78 Honda Hawk, GSXR, my dads GS1100, this guys KZ1100 and my J2. So were all out on the wide open Highway 14 and the guy on the 1100 wants to run em, were already going 55 (letting the Hawk keep up) so I indulge, expecting to get dusted but the ol J2 cut loose and shrugged the old man off. Could've been the driver but it made me feel good about the bike. Heres a pic of the bikes in the driveway waiting on the other guys. It doesn't seem like alot of guys my age have interest in these old sport bikes. I love em! Well anyway, figured I'd share since most of you guys help me keep her running lol. The guys at work call it the "Thunder Chicken", guess b/c of the yellow.

I'm 29 and have no use for a new bike, I know exactly what you're talking about!
