Since this is one of the first topics I check when it's been recently updated, here's my contribution and first post. Thanks to all for the inspiration and most importantly, the information. I feel like the luckiest guy in the world no matter what anyone else is riding or how much slower I am.

Minolta, Graflex or Hasselblad? Good grief, I should get out the old Minolta twin reflex. But the black M5 is a favorite. And the Coolpix S7 is just so easy for everything that doesn't require work.
 
I like my cameras like my bikes, old and made to last. Its a wooden 4x5 field camera with a Rodenstock 150mm lens. I develop the negs in my dark room, I shot this with Fuji Acros film ISO 100 f16.at 4 seconds. Developed it in Rodinal developer. Could have increased depth of field but it till came out well IMO.Black and white film is still readily available from Ilford, Kodak and Fuji. I still shoot quite regularly
 
We had a dark room growing up, something I'm grateful to my Dad for sharing with us. He had an Exacta, and us kids shot with a little Petri. Nice image of the engine, silverfox. It sure is one sexy motor !

1973 Commando 850, First ride of the spring, ran great just need to new battery. Also was thinking about getting a engine steady, anyone have any suggestions?
 
I've been getting out quite a bit lately. Got about 1000 miles on it now and all is well. Just fitted some digital gauges. Here is a pic while out and about last week
