Blessing of the bikes

Posted: Mon May 18, 2015 11:06 pm

Each year there is an event in Baldwin Michigan, The Blessing of the Bikes. Thanks in part to help from Rick, my bike is running great and I was able to attend this year. About 10,000 people there throughout the weekend. These older Hondas are starting to draw a crowd now.

I'll bet the 900 got more attention than the hogs....it's much sexier looking and a LOT faster!!!!!

I notice you have an 82 tank and that is so wrong. Knowing you have a new tank I think you should start upgrading ASAP

Maybe the saddlebags are still available, they would complete the look.

OMG Rick!!!!!! What would we do without you????!!!!! Why didn't I think of that one???? Of course Greg needs to upgrade to the disco clone....24 Jewel H.P. Too which of course makes the o'le 900 much faster....

Yup, I was on my way to a similar Blessing of the Bikes event, but at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, TX, but I ran out of gas and could not make it.

Anybody else attend? Did they have a good turnout?

Wonder if Joe Rocket makes a leisure suit style riding jacket? Or maybe that's in the saddle bags.....and Greg if you act quickly they are still available...too bad you missed out on the front fender dang it all!!!!!

I am still trying to decide what the 'H' stands for on the side of the tank

Those Hardleys need as much blessing as they can get........

Nice photoshop Goose! Twisted Evil

"H" could be for Hilarious or Horrific or Hillucinate.....certainly not for Honda since that's spelled out.....

That wasn't the place they had some sort of 'incident " recently was it?

norm likely has to deal with Mad Max characters on a daily basis, brawling bike gangs are barely newsworthy Down Under.

Rick, That photo is cracking me up. Think we can get it on the home page??
You know, I should just put the tank on my bike as is. It would be instantly recognizable everywhere

Put it on for a month!!!! Problem is you didn't act fast enuff to score the matching saddle bags......

Posted: Wed May 20, 2015 1:25 am

Someone actually bought them?

Auction ended....if you're lucky they didn't sell and you'll get a second chance!!!! Or you could check your local head shop or pawn shop for a similar set!!!

The tailpiece and side covers are still there. The tailpiece lights up.
