Well it looks like this board is rather slow. I'll put a few pics up feel free to add pictures of your stuff too.
I live in east Nebraska and have been a life long motorcycle fanatic. I went to school for motorcycle ATV and PWC repair in Lincoln. Graduated in June 06' in a class of 7 although we had start 18 first quarter
I've rode dirt bikes since I was 10 and have a huge obsession with Honda's and big bore 2 strokes! I love building them, riding them, fixing them you get the idea. Here's a few pictures.

That SV is cool. A good friend of mine that rides with me has one very cool sounding bikes. What exhaust is on yours? My cr500 is also made black by bed liner The only bad thing is that it doesn't stick to the plastic tank.

Forgot to add these, since mine are all wedged in the shed, I pulled these off the web. They are all the same year as mine, but somehow mine aren't in show room condition as these are, photos hide lots of flaws however. So I'll go with that thought!!!

Again pulled these off the internet, but mine are the same year just not quite the same shape. I've been buying these old bikes off Ebay and Craigslist for 15 years or more. I love the old Euro trash scooters, but My favorite bike right now is my '84 IT 490 Yamaha. Gobbs of power, light, handles great, easy to get parts still. I dont have to be scared shitless about denting one of the Euro tanks when I take the IT490 out.

had a friend with a TT500 he kept threatening to sell it to me
the XR600 while not on par with the CR500 or YZ490? its still just excessive enough to make it cool
rode it tonight first time in the dark and I'll tell ya, the little 35w hlamp is not excessive guess it would get you home on the trail but its way too weak for 50mph street razooing

The truck does the pulling chores, the buggy has 225HP mid mounted Chevy motor, but it is really only good for drifting, as the suspension is totaly outdated. This thing will slide like a rally car for as long as you care to hang the ass end out there, you use the turning brakes to start your slide, the throttle to control the sideways portion of your ride, and the steering wheel to point in the general direction that you would like to travel in. Although when traveling backwards at high speed, non of these controls seem to work quite as well!!
Of course in a parking lot that is 5 miles long and 2 miles wide, as long as you're not traveling upside down, all is good.

That one brings back memories of one I had many moons ago, it was probably the most fun of all the buggys I've been in. I think it was a '62 pan with plumbing pipes welded for the cage. it was indestructible!! and too loud also, with the same exhaust as yours, we called it a tri mil exhaust, I'll bet it had 50 horsepower, but what fun it was!!
