A local outfit I spotted on display a while back. From Belgium, the FN was one of the earliest four cylinder engines, a fascinating design. As I recall its long-term owner had once ridden it across Europe and Asia to Australia.

This bike got my heart beating faster just looking at it. Then once you swung your leg over and took it thru the mountain passes in the Cascades in Oregon, Wow, just Wow!!!

And finally, when we moved back to the midwest, where the roads are unfortunately too straight, with too many stop signs & stop lights, this became the go-to ride. Wonderful low end torque, enjoyable for putt-putting between stop signs.

PS: Sometimes it's almost as much fun making pictures of the bikes as it is riding them. Not really. ;-)
 
When I was MUCH younger, this was my 1994 Honda 125 GP race bike, at Blackhawk Farms race track.
