This fantastic photo comes to us from Gary, who spent a labour-intensive couple of years restoring this lovely 1984 Honda Magna. What’s more, rather than just riding around the neighbourhood feeling pleased with himself, Gary took it to Bonneville to really test her out. He says:

In 2005 I got this 1984 Honda V30 Magna in non-running condition for $400 (US) including a trailer to haul it on. I restored it myself and this past October, took it to the SCTA World Finals at the Bonneville Salt Flats International Speedway near Wendover, UT, to see how well I did on the work.

Without re-jetting the caburetors to compensate for the high altitude (5,100 ft.), or any engine modifications for performance, the 25 year old 500 cc back yard classic went through the three mile timing trap at 104.536 MPH.

Nice work, thanks for the photo Gary! Send your funny, bizarre or surprising pics to us and we’ll post them, with your name. We’d love to share what you guys find in the world of motorcycling! Send to: pics@twowheelsblog.com.
