MBWorld Group Motorcycle Ride

There are a ton of us here that also ride bikes (Both sport and cruiser). We should try to have a group ride one day and leave the cars behind.

Very nice Brav ! How do you like the '66 ? Is it a complete restore ?

I'm thinking about picking up a 2005 MV Agusta F4-1000 this week. Rode it this past weekend and I am in love.

Yea, complete restore. About 200 miles on the restore. There are a few minor things here and there, but its a bike I actually ride the bike, not a complete garage queen. I love riding it more than any other bike. Just have to remember to not stomp on the rear brake instead of the shifter (they are on the "wrong" side).

Very cool Brav... My father has some classic restored BSA's and Triumphs as well. He actually rides them too. If you ever want to hook up one weekend for a ride with us, I will have him ride on of the restored bikes.

It is amazing how much attention they really get.

That would be great to go on a ride. I have only seen one other restored Triumph riding around in the last 2 years. Almost every time I take it out I get a little crowd, or a thumbs up on the street. Some people go back to their cars and get a camera to take pictures when Im at a coffee shop. A lot of "Back when I was a boy" stories. I am very surprised at the attention the bike gets. My dad has nearly an identical bike, same year, same restoration. So we have a pair - which is even more rare

I just pulled the trigger and picked up a new MV Agusta F4-1000 to keep my ZX-6R company.

Brav

Can't believe you have that bike. I am looking for a bike that's just right and I thought I wanted a 70s type but that is exactly the type of bike I am looking for, so I guess I want something more mid-60s. Tell me if you see any that look like yours for sale if you happen to notice those things. Thanks for pic!
