I did find a pic of me looking stylish with one of his bikes at an old farm we lived on. What a cutie! I always liked Sportsters even though to be honest I don't plan on owning one. That's a badass bike, kickstarting a Harley must have been fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yen_powell Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Me, my son and my first Africa Twin around 1995. I think he's wearing his superman cape. Also my oldest granddaughter and my now grown up son's left arm in 2018. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, one of those bikes had 55k on the clock and the other was probably on about 80k. Having said that, the rust probably appeared in the first 10,000 miles.

Pedro Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 @yen_powell, I suppose @XTreme is talking about the exhaust headers on the Kawasaki, the Honda looks lovely. My own exhaust, below the bike around the catalytic converter area looks the same, it's a mix of rust with caked in mud and dirt. I'm not proud of it but don't feel like taking it apart for cleaning either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rust only bothers me if it is going to make something break. Also I have heard that if you use too much Autosol you can develop an allergy that gives you quite a nasty crotch rash. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
