Title: December 2022 Bike of the Month
Post by: N2BRK on December 01, 2022, 06:52:40 AM
I'm filling in for Michael this month :)

My pick is Travis in Washington's V65 Magna!

It's been a two-decade love affair that began with a trip to Montana to pick up this beautiful V65 Magna. In those days we were barely even a website - we'd truly been a BBS just a short time ago. We grew and changed, but time stood still for this awesome machine.

Congrats Travis!!!

An '84 in Andromeda Red?

Apparently it had already provided miles of smiles @ 88,888.8 on the odometer.

Makes me want to go riding right now despite the snow outside.

Nice bike!

Makes me want to start a mileage poll.

Congrats, Travis!  Sweet ride!

Very nice....  :beer:

Why do some have chrome around the bottom of the gas tank? Was that factory or added by owners?

A "two decade love" is a great way to fill a decade of BOTM elections..

Congrats to Travis!

Congrats to Michael to make it through the first decade..

That is a nice bike. Congrats Travis!

I know about the two decades of love. I've had my magna that long also and I still get smiles when I ride it or just see it sitting in the garage waiting on a little therapy from me.

That "chrome" is that plastic door edge guard for car/trucks.
