Steel City Mods vs Rockers was today. Its an annual event in Pittsburgh.
Was in the the Bicycle Heaven parking lot. Included 7 Suzukis: 6 two strokes & 1 four strokes.
The GT550 cafe build isn’t quite finished, so I went over to the dark side & took my 1986 Honda VB700SC. Two bikes over is a Suzuki GS750.

A 1972 Suzuki GT380 barn find with a GT550/GT750 4LS front brake. Sounds good & starts easily. Was ridden to the show.

The mods are going to need to make a run for it... They're severely outnumbered!

Pics were taken with my iPhone camera. Absolutely amazing given how tiny the camera is. All I did was wait for some clouds to block the sun & reduce the contrast range.
There was one more Suzuki that I didn’t notice. A GS1100G that’s in a pic on the Mods vs Rockers facebook page.

The yellow vintage 3 wheeler is a Freeway by HM Vehicles in Burnsville Minnesota.
