Motorcycle Fanatics, show your ride(s)

[user 574]

My dog keeps hounding me to get a sidecar for my bike. I'd love to, but $$$. Heading off for a week long, 4 state ride Monday. If I keep adding up how much boarding him costs I may be able to rationalize the investment :cross:.

Sweet Ural! ! I seriously considered an St when i was shopping, bit alas no used Ural deals in my area

 

[wildwest450]

Very first. Just brought it home today.

Go out and buy a kidney belt, you're gonna need it.

 

[TowsonTiger22]

Yeah. It beat on me a lil. Gonna get progressive shocks once I free up some cash.

One of two 03 BMC Big Daddy the other is an O4 Road King Custom.

 

[thepartsmancometh]

My first bike, 09 Suzuki gladius. Great size, comfy and plenty powerful for a first timer! The exhaust is an IXIL hyperlow that I bought myself for my bday

excuse the garage mess, Im in the process of cleaning and reorganizing so I have room for the bike.

 

[Tiber_Brew]

Here's mine:

Since this picture was taken, I've sold the Magna (the one in the back). But I still ride my Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic FI.

I'll get a better picture of it sometime this summer.

I was thinking of upgrading, but we'll see how expensive my basement sauna project becomes this year.

 

[FastAndy]

My new 2012 Honda CBR250R. Great on gas and faster than my old Kawasaki KZ750 ltd.

Love seeing the bikes. Especially the old Beemers but I'm a little partial. Here's my pig on an 8-day solo camping wander down to Colorado hitting open passes (at least the ones I had the guts to go over). No way on some of the passes with a laden pig. Some of you may notice how clean the bike is...it's because I ended up spending a fortune in quarters at a local do-it-yourself car wash after learning all about mag chloride...nasty stuff...basically encased the engine in a ceramic layer.

 

[thepartsmancometh]

New pics! Rode a long while this morning around some lakes and windmills

 

[thepartsmancometh]

Phone app crashed...here's the others

 

[Zuljin]

I don't remember, is that a Gladius? If so, how is it on the highway? How's the riding position?

 

[thepartsmancometh]

Yep. 09 gladius. Its plenty powerful for highway use (same motor etc as the older sv650), but it has NO wind protection. I commute 25 miles (mostly interstate ) one way and I'm OK with it. Some people add a windscreen for more protection. Position is upright, closer to "standard" than sport bike. I love it!

 

[Zuljin]

Cool. Mine doesnt offer much in wind protection onl ythat its wide at the tank and big for an 805. Looks a lot bigger than an 883 Sportster but smalller engine. Looked hard at the Gladius and v-strom 650 and 1200 but then saw the C50 and was thinking of floorboards, upright seating and bigger engine than 650. An big Elvis fenders. But a 650 still looks appealing. Or a B King. Or a Buell. Hell, there aint a bike I dont want.

 

[mtnrider]

Any other GS Adventures out there?

 

[Mumbly]

My 2000 Ducati monster 900 S I.e

The picture of the bike put together is after the first mod, a tail chop. The other is after clip-on handlebars, in the process of installing the high mount carbon fiber Remus cans, replacing the chain, and oil change... I know it looks terrible. Since then I have added a LED brake light with integrated sequential turn signals, bar end turn signals, and a couple other things I cant remember right now

 

[MrBrewEsq]

This is my 2001 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad 1500 FI... Big fun to ride. That is when I'm not brewing of course..

 

[thepartsmancometh]

Cool monster! There weren't any affordable ones nearby when I was shopping, so I wound up with my sfv650.

The monster and street triple were at the top of my list

If I didn't ride with highway cruising bungholes, I would so have a Speed Triple...

1980 Vespa P200. Don't laugh, it'll do 70mph.

That must be terrifying.

This! Lmfao

 

[thepartsmancometh]

I want to ride a scooter balls out at least once in my life

 

[static]

Once a year I head over to the coast to a place that rents scooters by the hour and wring it out for all its worth. With a tail wind they will do about 40

Here's the daily driver...

 

[thepartsmancometh]

This reminds me, there was a post on thekneeslider today about motorized bicycle racing!
There's something inherently cool and fun about utilizing something low power at 10/10ths

When I got my monster it was between the monster and a Daytona triple.

I park my ride right next to one of these at work. Looks like a very nice cruiser.
