Motorcycle owners???

1986 Honda CRX

[COMB2]

I have had a Katana 600 for my first bike and Just sold my Honda F4i back in the fall. Curently bikeless. May build something in the future

[Dennis]

Currently have a '06 Katana 750. Have also had a '92 Yamaha XJ600S and a '95 Yamaha YZF600.

This 86' Electra Glide Classic was a gift from my father, who had it since 86'. I plan on never getting rid of it.

The white one was a present to myself after the war. It's an 06' Limited Edition 'Busa 1300, in my garage.

Been riding dirt bikes since I was little, moved from dirt to street, and currently have a Yamaha FZ-6. In the next month or so, its going to be sold or traded in for either a Big Dog mastiff, or a custom chopper. I'm still shopping around to figure out what I want. When I get one, I'll be sure to post some pics!

Greetings!
As I stated in my Intro post, motorcycles are more of a mental illness than a hobby for me
Bikes currently owned are:

'01 Moto Guzzi V-11 Sport
'01 Suzuki DRZ400
'01 Kawasaki KLR650
'98 Triumph Sprint Executive
'98 Yamaha Blaster (wife's)
'97 Yamaha RT180 (spare)
'96 Kawasaki KDX200 (son's)
'76 Yamaha TY175 (son's now)
'74 Harley Davidson Sprint
'73 Harley Davidson Sprint
'72 Harley Davidson Sprint
'71 MZ ES125/G (E. German ISDT Special, never imported to the USA)









I'm not sure we have the bandwidth for the bikes I've owned in the past. Recent bikes would include a V-Max, '03 Sporty, Buell S-2, Bandit 1200, two Triumph Tigers, Kawi Concours, '99 Montesa Cota, '95 Beta Techno...

I need another Observed Trials bike when I get back to the states. I sold my Montesa Cota while at Fort Hood since I didn't have time to ride it. I think a HD Street Glide or Road Glide is in my future once I'm home from Asscrackistan. Mommy sez the Triumph should go if I get the 'Glide but I'm gonna try to keep it (even tho two touring bikes would be kinda redundant).

I realize that I'm the nOOb here but If you're open to a little advice from someone who works around bikes every day (when I'm not carrying a M-16 for Uncle Sam), go with the Big Dog. Custom bikes can be a nightmare if you actually ride them. Big Dog's been around for a little while now and have figured out how to make things work together. They're supposed to have a new motor from S&S soon. It's called the X-Wedge, 'wedge' for the combustion chamber shape. It's a big-inch VTwin of about 52 degrees with three (belt driven) cams instead of the two or four that HD uses. I'm sure they'll still offer the standard S&S clone motor they've used for a while as well.
All the best.
Ride safe.

I'm always open to a little advice (since I still consider myself a noob!). I've looked at a few small manufacturers like Swift, PCW, and Vengence, and all in all I dont think any of them can give you the all around of the Big Dog. Anyway, I've almost got the $$$ for the down payment, so next week or 2 I should be doing some serious shopping!!

[prophetic_joe]

Figured I would wake this thread up again. For one I know how much Bill loves the OP and second I just bought a new bike and I have got to post it.

2006 Shadow Sabre 1100



And my first bike which I now have to sell:

1985 Hinda Nighthawk 650

[knightnorth]

'08 Victory Vision Tour Premium. I like other Vicories better but I needed a vehicle that gets me to work 110 miles one way. This has the heated hand grips, heated seats, radio. I needed the trunk space because my gear for work is over 75 lbs. It's a very comfortable ride. Smaller bikes tend to beat you up on long rides. Plus this is getting 60 MPG. It'll have to do until I can afford another bike just for riding.

Just a side note this is one of the first Visions made. Victory build it for Kyle Petty for the 2007 Charity Ride. I got it at auction for charity for $6,000 less than MSRP.

If all you bike owners haven't seen last night's (11/04/09) South Park, head over to southpark.com to watch. HI-larious. As much as I love motorcycles, esp. Harley's, Parker and Stone have this right.

[Eville]

Last night's SP was dead on, I loved it.

Also, nice Victory.

[Shelby07]

OK - which one of you guys taped the animal rights activist to the tree??

http://glossynews.com/society/201001...orcycle-rally/

[Eville]

“They peed on me!!!” charged one activist. “They grabbed me, said I looked like I was French, started calling me ‘La Trene’, and duct taped me to a tree so they could pee on me all day!”

“I…I was trying to show my outrage at a man with a heavy leather jacket, and he…he didn’t even care. I called him a murderer, and all he said was, ‘You can’t prove that.’ Next thing I know he forced me to ride on the back of his motorcycle all day, and would not let me off, because his girl friend was out of town and I was almost a woman.”

Still others claimed they were forced to eat hamburgers and hot dogs under duress. Those who resisted were allegedly held down while several bikers “farted on their heads.”

Bill, I think you're losing it! We've already covered the topping of this thread:

1974 shovelhead custom is my daily driver. I also have a 69 boniville and a 2011 Evo rat bike. But my fav is my RD 400 drag. Don't get as much time on them as I would like but that's how it goes.

Got some pics of the shovel? I'm guessing the Evo is in the avatar?

[S.A.W.B.]

The avatar is my shovel.





Here is the Evo and Boniville

Definitely losing it, I have recollection of that at all.

Speaking of which are you new here?

[S.A.W.B.]

No choppers inc. here my friend. All home built in my shop. Tank , fenders, bars, frame ect. Everything I do is low budget and from the sole.

Bonnie pisses on everything but I love her.
