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.

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.
 
07 GT Avalanche 3 mountain bike
13 GT GTR Series 3 road bike

Both are 1 ******* powerered
 
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.

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

Mine. A heavily modified and tuned 04' VT750 Shadow Aero. All the customization was done in my garage, including paint. Took from this;

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.
 
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:
