I know there are a few of you here at least. What do you ride?

My currents are a '13 Aprilia Tuono and the old '06 Triumph Daytona 675 for daily commute duties.

I have an 02 VROD (got it in 2009), lots of mods, lots of fun and great to ride. I have travelled throughout the country on it (4 different islands).

I am lucky as I get to ride pretty much 9 months of the year (except during the monsoon season).

 

[Highside]

Very nice, HB. I dig those pipes, best looking setup I've seen on a Vrod.

 

[HB_in_Subic]

Thanks, they are loud as they have no baffles. I am using a Cobra Autotuner and have no decel pop or issues with mileage.

I bet your bike is fun on "the Dragon". I have read about it but don't live in the US anymore so no opportunity to ride that. I got plenty of places here though that is similar.

I WISH I still had my 86 Huffy. I think the frame was cast iron.

Most of my life I've been a speed freak with a death wish. Always road rice rockets. KZ 1000 bored out. GPZ1100 rocket. Spitting lanes on one wheel over a buck was my morn. Ya ya I know but I'm still here so F it.

After the wife starting spitting out kids I had to start giving a **** about staying alive. To slow down I went to HD,s.

Problem is I still have a hard time not splitting lanes doing a buck. Although at over 850lbs I can't get the wheel up on the highway.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I used to ride this. 49.3cc of pure doom!

 

[hunter_le five]

Currently ride a Harley-Davidson Switchback.

First pic is how I normally have it setup, second is it setup as a pseudo-touring bike for longer trips.


Third pic is my old Honda Shadow. I wish I had kept that bike.

Someone mentioned their Shadow. Here's my 2003:

Does this count?

I have Kaws in my garage...

Took home this left over 2013 Honda NC700X today. Getting on this after a cruiser is almost like learning to ride again.

And that is still one sweet Shadow. A lot of work went into that.

 

[Paps]

Meh.....my Kaw KZ-440 is in the shop and will probably be there for a LONG time.

 

[BlkWater_brewer]

Sadly due to my hard drive biting the big one I lost all but one photo of my Trumpet I sold a couple of years back. Bad lower back injury made driving painful. Was a stretched 1975 Triumph 750, hard tail, springer front end and forward controls. Did I mention zero springs in the rear with the seat mounted right to the fender. Fun ride but nothing you'd want to throw into a turn. Sorry about pic, all I have left that I can find. Now I regret selling it. Pic was taken after a light rain as well.

WTF's up with the air/fuel ratio line, that has more waves then the bay does at the moment and it's pretty stormy.
Edit: is that carbureted? Gotten so used to looking at fuel injection a/f ratios that I forget some times and I see it's an 04.

My new to me dresser, setting it up the way I want it for the season, it's come a long way from what I bought
Puts out respectable numbers, 102hp, 106 ft/lb torque

Yep. Carburated and has all of the smog control crap stripped out.

Last year of the line to have a carburetor, IIRC.

Still needs some work but its getting there.

Sweet, what year? I have a special place in my heart for Bimmers.

It's a 1973 R75/5, toaster tank obviously. My dad purchased it new and rode it until 2004 when he upgraded to an R1150RT. It sat for a while before I could convince him to part with it :rockin:
