    I used quotes mostly because I don't know that your bike exactly qualifies as vintage in the truest sense.

    Forget about the P&S for a while. Learn to ride the motorcycle first--no offence but you are too new a rider to be futzing about with that yet.

    Ahh, fwiw, it's an 82 Honda Silverwing.

    As for the P&S, no offense taken. I'm so green it hurts!

    Thanks Ian!

    I'm starting to get more comfortable with taking my left hand of the handlebar. I'll probably barrow Schmoo's P&S (if she'll let me) soon.

    One other question, I've noticed it here and in a few other places I've talked about it. Why is "vintage" always in quotes? Is it because it's old, but not "classic?"

    It's because it's old, and right now, not very pretty.

    This is vintage.

    Congrats on the bike! Those are like mini Moto Guzzis, sort of. headscratch.gif

    As for photos, I just stick my bikes in front of something interesting and hope they don't ruin the shot.

    Silhouettes are always nice. Below is outside Idaho Falls, ID.

    Or you can park your bike in a field of blooming canola.

    Alternately, put a smugmug sticker on it and park it in front of a tent. thumb.gif

    Oh yeah! GB's got a great idea to work up to some short trips. Great idea and you get to see cool stuff too!
