Default Let’s see your summer rides

Sledhead thread inspired.
Put the Covid, conspiracy, government talk on the shelf for a bit and post up your ride. Cars , bikes , horses, whatever blows your hair back.

This was my all time favorite, and the reason for my forum name.



The Hayabusa's were great fun, had 4 of them. Didn't really blow your hair back with a full face helmet on though



This is what gets the biggest grin out of me now

Just put a new set of shoes on mine, the better traction helps me to dodge all the godawful pot holes...

The one I roll out first here is a restored “79” Toyota Land Cruiser with a few special touches.
I have a few others, however I just made a deal on a pair of barn find aircraft so we’ll see how they turn out after restoration and few special touches.

Cute indeed. But I'm curious, how did you ever wedge yourself in a 944?

Not as peaceful as the horse and carriage but this old girl isn’t scared of fire.

Great rides guys. I wish I lived is a place that was a bit more friendly to having an some old iron. You could lose some of these rides in the potholes up here...

1992 Saab 900 Turbo convertible. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but I love obscure European cars.
