[bobthebiker]

sitting here bored at home and depressed cause mine needs a head gasket I have to order and install. ugh.

so who all here rides motorcycles and what do you have? I've got an 87 CBR600F.

I really hate working on my own bike these days, but at the same time I wont trust my cycle to ANYONE but me. and I do mean that too.

I have an 85 VN700. Currently down for a stator change.

I haven't had my 2 wheeled therapy in about a month... I'm going crazy(er). Normally a year round rider.

Hey just joined the forum. I ride an 2002 Suzuki SV650S

 

[pedalmedic]

2004 Honda Sabre 1100.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

2004 Honda Shadow Aero Ace Classic.

I put nearly 8k miles on it the first 2 years and then there was infant. Now a days it sits in my garage all sad and depressed.

At best, I get to fire it up and let it run about once a week.

I rode mine to work last week. It was 16 degrees.

2005 Boulevard 809 (Suzuki).

Gotta love the fuel injection on cold mornings.

1980 kz750, currently sitting in the shop waiting for me to get out there and fix it.

1998 Harley RoadKing. It's waiting patiently for the weather to return and allow for riding.

Anyone interested in a Power Commander for a Honda CBR600? We have a brand new one unused in the original box available and would be interested in making a swap for some goods or a straight up sale.

Interested? PM me for more details.

Salute!

'94 Honda Magna. My first rule about riding is that I never drink while riding....so I gave up riding! Well, that and a degenerative eye disease that makes it difficult to drive at night. It's sitting in the garage and not driven in 3 years so need to haul it to the mechanic and have it tuned up before riding again.

1980 Vespa P200. Don't laugh, it will do 65 mph.

 

[craigd]

hmmmm, riding may not be the right term but I have about 3/4 of a an '81 Harley FXE in my garage that I have been collecting parts for. Kinda like the Johnny Cash song I have been adding one part at a time for years... My wife loves to give me crap about it and suggests I go sit on the rolling chassis in the garage and "make Vroom, vroom noises." I'm not sure what I'll do if I ever finish it...

 

[Brewiz]

My Therapist...

Just over 80,000 miles. Ride it everyday I get the chance to.

 

[TeufelBrew]

'92 Nighthawk 750. Over 60k miles. No riding now, too cold and there's gravel and sand all over the roads until spring here.

Downhill with a push?


I keed, I keed I love the Vespa. Coolest thing I ever saw was a Vespa with a sidecar.

I loved those bikes. I ended up buying a 2005 919, though. Apparently I had money at the time. You can kinda see it in this pic of my stove:

Sell it and buy an 82' chassis.

I've been enjoying the dual sports the last couple of years. I like getting off the beaten path, far from the watchful eye of the man. I have a KLX250 with knobs, & a DR650 with street tires. I like to tour, I've been as far NE as Meat Cove Nova Scotia & as far SW as the Grand Canyon. I rode the DR to Maine this year, trucked the KLX to the UP of Michigan, rode around for 4 days...

Bikes I've owned in the past- 74' CB200,93' FZR600, 78' GS1000, 85' XR600R, 01' FZ1, 99' KLR650.

I hear ya. I'm gonna sell my Hurricane soon because I'm tired of ALWAYS working on it. gonna get an F3 in its place and call it a day.

 

[Sk84BeeR]

sold my '96 suzuki intruder 800 when SWMBO had the baby. awwww.

got a little chinese moped now. looks retro (vespaish), rides good, keeps up with traffic.

Here's my beast 2003 BMW 650CS

Can't ride right now we have a foot of snow and a good amount of ice

Yeah, it's kind of a goofy ride, but it's a lot of fun. I'd get into trouble with anything faster. I've done some performance work on it, and I can beat street bikes off the line, up to about 45. Power wheelies all the way into 3rd. I've ridden with sidecars and I hate it. You can't lean to corner on the sidecar side.

Just joined a few weeks ago.

Here is the love of my life, my 1993 FZR 600.

I wish I could find a before and after photo, here is a small story of what I've done: New airtech r1 race tail, i fiberglassed the undertail and molded a yamaha r6 tail light in there, swapped out the 93 upper and replaced it with the single headlight upper style from years 91/92. Newer engine that I painted. And the rearsets are custom made from china from aluminum, from a FZR enthusiast. Only 10 sets made in the entire world. 2006 yamaha r6 exhaust with custom made exhaust (it was a bitch!)

anyways, here it is.
