Freebird Posted March 4, 2011 #1 Posted March 4, 2011 OK...a little quickie contest. The attached picture is a collage of 16 bikes that I've owned over the years....it would be more but I don't have pictures of near all the bikes that I've owned. Anyway, the first person to correctly identify all 16 bikes and the year models within 2 years either way, will win a VentureRider lapel pin. Have fun.
Iowawegian Posted March 4, 2011 #2 Posted March 4, 2011 This outta be interesting..............................
Black Owl Posted March 4, 2011 #3 Posted March 4, 2011 Don't see a Brit bike in the bunch. SO, if I just say a whole buncha metrics... do I win??????
Freebird Posted March 4, 2011 Author #4 Posted March 4, 2011 Well of course not. First of all, wouldn't Brit bikes be metric also? Also, there are at least TWO Italian bikes in that bunch.
oldgoat Posted March 4, 2011 #6 Posted March 4, 2011 well lets see i think i see a blue honda 350 or 360 scrambler maybe 1973 or 1973? a gold. honda maybe 550 four k 1972-1974. a bellinili. 1970? a yamaha maxim 1982-1984? and thats about all i can make out
Freebird Posted March 4, 2011 Author #7 Posted March 4, 2011 Come on....I KNOW you can do better than that. You only got ONE of them right.
Freebird Posted March 4, 2011 Author #9 Posted March 4, 2011 You are correct that it's a CT....but......

You must have been riding bike in the womb to acquire that many rides.

ashley9187 Posted March 4, 2011 #15 Posted March 4, 2011 I give up after seeing a first gen Venture. Rick A.

bongobobny Posted March 4, 2011 #17 Posted March 4, 2011 I dunno, se a couple of 1st gen's, a 2nd gen , a "Guzi, an early Honda 90's or similar, the orange Honda you sold to Muffinman, and a few other bikes that look familar but can't place at the moment. I didn't even know we have lapel pin!! I am willing to buy one...
Marcarl Posted March 4, 2011 #18 Posted March 4, 2011 Most of them have 2 wheels,,,'course that would make them be bikes,,,, some have trailers attached,,,, that's just to slow them down so that the others can keep up, some made it home and then some others may not have been so lucky,, there are farings suited for the mature individual, and then some without for the more hardy type. Some have nicer colors than some others, but that is in the eyes of the beholder,,,,, actually a pretty nice picture.

mraf Posted March 5, 2011 #22 Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) Ok, once more.

straycatt Posted March 5, 2011 #23 Posted March 5, 2011 At first I wanted to win, and dazzle everyone with my vintage motorcycle knowledge. Now I just want to know what some of them are. The two XJ's are def early Maxims of some cc. The one with the (for the most part) bare tank really looks like an Yamaha enduro. The big HD could be anything from their line. The other little HD could be another Sprint, maybe a 250. Just put me out of my misery. What are they?
cecdoo Posted March 5, 2011 #24 Posted March 5, 2011 Mite be 1 Maxim its hard to tell by the pic, but the other one is definetly an early Virago:think: Craig
