Born to Be Wild: 1985

Almost twenty years after Born to Be Wild: 1966 and I'm still riding two wheels. This time, with my wife on my 1967 650 c.c. BSA  Spitfire, which I had just restored with the help of my motorcycle bud. This was taken by a friend in the next lane while we rode up the highway to Gatineau Park in Quebec, across the Ottawa River from Canada's capital Ottawa during a perfect fall day. Funny how this was considered a serious machine in the era, but today the output would be thought mediocre, but oh, the sound. View full size.

You and your buddy did a beautiful job

I've always been a Triumph guy myself, but any classic British iron always makes my mouth water.
