March 2014 Bike of the Month

[FromMaine]

Sorry for this months delay in naming March's BOTM. Once again it was ship/location related as our internet went from bad to worse as we were on the edge of our Satellite coverage. You guys who live ashore don't know how good you have it  ;)

This months winner did what I've been asking and pleading our members here to do, simply take a picture of your bike and post it in the Gallery Section. What he posted though was a pretty rare sight. Rarer than a Politcian with a concience, even rarer than a Harley with stock pipes with an owner who realizes that riding is a passion for owners of all makes, not just those with a brand infatuation. Yes I'm talking about the Unicorn of the motorcycling world, the "freshly washed Sabre".

Congratulations Shaker, your "Freshly washed 1984 Sabre" is March 2014's Bike of the Month.

[John Hilmer]

CONGRATULATIONS!

Your bike is in deed worthy in my eye as well as our host it seems not that I have anything to do with the selection of course. Just this once I happened to guess in line with Michael.

Shaker, you have kept this one in a really nice condition and I commend you for keeping it in great shape.

This to me is what it is all about.

Best Regards,

John

Congratulations
Looks great!

[Stretch]

Another nice example of one of the best hidden gems of the motorcycle world.

We need to get ours together for a "group photo".

[Hopit88]

Looks great. That seat sure looks comfy...I'm jealous. How much to wash mine?

[The Dutchy]

Nice Sabre... Too bad the engine spins the wrong way around...

Nice Sabre...  Let me correct this one... That looks like coming right from the shop when you bought it..


Excellent  :thumb

[BILL PERDUE]

What Stretch said. Nice Sabre

[Shaker]

wow, im totally surprised by this :o :o :o !, Thanks so much everyone, she is all original, and although you cant tell from the pic, she's got a few nicks and scratch's here and there:P. the seat is a corbin with the passenger section cut flat, Again THANKS SO MUCH for this award  :beer:

[John Hilmer]

Shaker,

I've waited long enough before asking for more images because I hoped someone else would.

I think that we should be able to see more than just this on image of your fine machine.

Getting the wife/girlfriend to pose would be a double plus or the neighbors daughter.  :rolling: Just kidding of course I am. Though it would be nice to see other sides and angles even if they expose flaws. We can accept flaws easily on these old machines.

Again, congratulations on your award,

John

Bill, you still using the Bud Muffler Mod on your sabre?

[kdf9511]

It does look good for a Sabre.

[BILL PERDUE]

No I found a replacement muffler when I got home last year.

[65crazy]

Hey Shaker, bike looks great, shows a lot of pride in ownership.

[John Hilmer]

Hum,

This is just an odd thought on my part, but if this fine sabre might have been available to Dutchy before he bought the ST.....

:beer:

I do wonder....

John

[The Dutchy]

Nah... Like I said, the engine spins backwards when the wheels move forward... That just doesn't sound right..

I guess the fixed it with the ST by turning the engine 90 degrees horizontal..

That sounds great right know... From standing up, I'm gonna put my body in a 90 degree angle from vertical to horizontal right now..
