Sweet. My hubby wants one of these. That will be our next bike purchase. May have to wait till we are old though. I hope I make it that long and it's not my life insurance that buys it for him...lol. This economy really bites a big one.

Wow - you kids got nice toys. I really like the front wheel on Rob's Sportster and the pipes on Steve's Dyna low rider. Ain't chrome purdy? I've had mostly rice burners for the 45 years I've been riding 2-wheelers. Started out with a 750 BSA (for Ba$$-ackwards?), when I was a kid and didn't know a dang thing about how to ride and stay alive. After a few minor disasters, mostly finding parts for a BSA in London Canada, I gave up the biker world for them 4-wheeled thingies with the roof on top. But then my soon-to-be hubby got the ball rolling again with a little Honda 360 and he would take his little boy on the back of the bike while I followed in a car. So, in self-defence, I got a little Kawasaki 400 and dumped it on the way home from the dealership.
That was my learning period, riding with Dave (my hubby) and learning what to wear, how to sit, and so many other little tips to stay upright and alive. When Dave progressed to a Kaw 900 in 1973, I was ready to join him on another KZ 900 and we rode those for a few years until we both opted to trade them for 1979 KZ 1000's. After changing what must have seemed like 100's of nubby little sprockets, we thought the shaft-drive would leave more time for riding and it did. But Dave gave up on the long trips after a nasty tumble shortly after we married and I've spent most of our married life riding solo on my 1979 Kawasaki. We're both antiques now and I keep saying I'll get a new one when the pipes fall off this baby, but she just won't quit (touch wood) and we're kinda like a matched set now.... I can feel myself getting all Zen, thinking about it...

Hey all.
There are some really nice bikes posted on here.
I grew up on trail and dirtbikes. That is probably something I will never out grow. This spring I bought my first street bike. I wanted to start out with something big enough to make me respect the road. So I bought an older garbage wagon (as the old boys call them). I have been bugged for jumping right into biking with a bagger.
Anyway, here are my bikes. 1996 HD FLHT (Electo glide). I haven't done too much to it yet, I figured it is a pretty good start, seeing as it already had the lowering kit installed, the 21" up front, stage1 screaming eagle and arlen ness fenders. The winter work order will be to turn everything chrome black. Pump up that old EVO. Perhaps get new wheels. Would like to put on matching black stoke ride rites maybe a 23" up front. Dreams, dreams. Can't hurt to dream right?
Then there is my 2003 Honda CRF450. Not much to say about it.

Nice ride Jesse. That ain't no garbage wagon! So, um.... where does the passenger sit?
And why black out the chrome? Is it pitted now? I guess I just love the shiny bits ;-)
I did a little dirt racing waaaaay back. But I was also the first aid person so half the time I didn't get to finish my race when someone else would crash. Used to be quite the sight driving my street cruiser and wearing my St. John Ambulance uniform into the enduro site, a folded stretcher bungee'd to my sissy bar and first aid equipment stuffed in both saddle bags. Those riders sure seemed happy to see another biker doing the first aid at their meets. I guess us bikers are pretty much just organ donors as far as emergency personnel are concerned. I know I've been kept waiting for many hours with my knee cap hanging out after a minor crash.
I hope you don't have tooooo many scars from your dirt-biking days!

Long time BMW owner, 1994 K 75 with 250,000 + of miles and smiles.

I've also gone through the motorcycle gauntlet. KLR,Honda's, Suzy Bandit 1200 S. Never owned a Ducati or KTM yet.

Lusting for a new dual sport in the future.

I must admit the insulin pump has made the open road more friendly.

Have had T1 for 50 years . Have been riding for 12 years. Was a very complicated relationship. Have had a Kawasaki 750 LTD 83, Kawasaki 1200 Voyager 90, BMW R1150 03 , BMW R1200 , Ducati 849 bored onto a 909, Ducati 999S 03, Ducati S4RS 07 Monster, Honda 150 crf, honda quad. Road raced for three years which is a miracle at all. Took road trips all over. Rented BMW's in the Alps in Europe three times. Did the Blue Ridge Parkway and Tail of the Dragon, Did trips up to Montreal and back, countless roads through Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and other times down to West Virginia and back.
Riding gave me freedom and joy in its own way. In retrospect always had the wrong bike for me, and now I understand the whole thing.

This is my baby, Boulevard M50Z (2008), I use this bike everyday and have been riding to and from work for the past 6 and half years. This pic doesn't show some of the extras I have put on, will give the bike a clean and take some more pics ASAP.
Cheers
