Title: Ooops

    Found this little gem sitting in the rain in Osseo, Wi, outside a "chai tea" restaurant. It was raining pretty hard, so I didn't take a lot of pictures...Maybe I'll go back and get more when it's nice out...I've been looking at the pic, and I've decided that it's a Vulcan BUBF...Looks like it needs a little TLC.

I really like the transparent look of this bike.

I see it's one of the models with the free-floating pistons.  I guess they didn't make them for very long.   ;)  RARE!

I think that one needs a little more then TLC, brother.  Maybe a few hard parts are in order, as well.  I suspect it's suffering from low compression...

I think he parked his bike in the wrong neighborhood for too long.

Or


See what happens to your bike when you stop to see your girlfriend, and your wife finds out?

If nothing else, it does look like they at least paid attention to tire pressure over the years.    ;)

Sure looks like a Honda VT 700 to me.

I was thinking it wasn't a Kaw....but I wasn't sure exactly what it was, and it was pouring rain, so I didn't spend too much time looking at it... I wonder what's holding up the camshafts...rust?
