Just picked up a 1996 California 1100 Fuel injected, has some nice home made touches to it, run great pulls like the tractor it is. Really happy with it. Most of our collection are bone stock survivors, so it will be fun having one I can tweak and play with!

The size and content of you stable are so annoying.

You must have lots of life insurance on you for Debbie to tolerate that.

OTOH, as she rides, mebbe most are hers!

As for the newest one, I am pretty ignorant of the various models over the years, but did not know that the '96 Calis came from a solo disc on the front. As modded, it looks like a Jackal ... especially in that really fine and fast red.

I joke only two of the bikes are mine, Deb has it as bad as me if not worse. We have no filter in our house.

Yes the bike has been heavily modded. It does look a lot like a Jakel!

This set up came with the bike, someone told me they thought it looked like a Ned's seat (Riverside Iowa), they have a Facebook page. Haven't confirmed.

That last comment got me thinking, and just to be clear I certainly hope this thread didin't come off as bragging or showing off, that certainly was not my intent. I love looking at everybody else's rides and pictures. I feel blessed that I have a wife that enjoys this with me.

I love sharing our passion and collection with other like minded enthusiast, that's all.

If it feels otherwise let me know and I'll delete it, I don't want to be THAT GUY
