staying busy

I've been doing some cleanup on the '75 XS650 engine to get it ready for teardown. Not getting detailed with it at this point, but just getting the gunk off to make it easier to work on.

2012 Indy GP part 4

The Cycle World magazine Rolling Concours had a great mix of bikes. I might have to do this if they have it next year.
