Glad to see you are riding that thing. :tu Hoping to be up in VA again sooner than later.

Had some buds in from VA over the holiday week/weekend. We did some riding but it was hotter than a muther out there. The temps here stayed in the lower 90's which made it a real turd when you were stuck at a light. Picked up some black header wrap at the Harley shop and wrapped my headers in the attempt to knock down some heat. Worked pretty good.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

A '99 Sportster 1200 was my first Harley as well brother :tu

Good choice!

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

if you and you bike make to this area, let us know.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Will do. Hopefully it will be before the end of summer.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Great looking pics brothers. I need to do a road trip, am getting that itch!!!!

Re: Motorcycle Thread..

I ordered my this thing...

It might even be here today.
I fixed my trunk bag so it won't tear again, and tested it by hauling home a big bag of grass fertilizer. I'm going for a ride today, no matter what. :tu

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

So it looks like the machine shop is going to be done with my pegs for the Ducati this weekend, so yay for that. This week I thought I'd fire her up just to hear the lovely clatter that is my bike. No clatter but a whole lotta gas dumping out from under the tank. I'm stoked cuz I totally needed another project instead of riding. :r :r

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Here is my husbands bike, Monique. Shes a 2008 HD Street Glide. I named her thinking she needed a sexy mistress type name not so sure I accomplished that. Absolutely love the mc lifestyle and the time on the "psychiatrist". Recently she got a new stero thats awesome and some new rims for this season!

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Nice! I've got an '05 Ironhorse Slammer. Haven't rode it in 3 years due to Kidney Sheer. I miss it, but can't bring myself to sell it.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

I'm selling a couple bikes, anyone need a toy?

Ducati 996S, carbon fiber everything for 7k or a KTM Supermoto hooligan machine for $3.6k. Come on boys, it'll give you an excuse to come have a smoke in CA while you pick up your new bike. :D

I cant wait to get back to the states and jump on my bike.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

I'm planning on bringing home me and Weeze's bikes this week. They're stored in the inlaw's shop. I checked them out this weekend, they're under a foot of dust. Good thing we covered them, but I'll still have lots of cleaning. (not that I mind.)

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Some sweet looking bikes!

These are a few of mine:

2003 Honda CBR F4I (Stolen)

2006 Triumph D650 (Traded it in for the GSXR)

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Finally cleaned out the garage! Now there's enough room for both the motorcycles and the heavy bag. The car stays outside (obviously). :tu

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Bikes are sold, waiting for the sale of the truck to go through. Then what? 2012 Ducati Multistrada S Touring time.

I think this is the point in my life where I admit to myself I am no longer a spring chicken and that getting old sucks a wee bit.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

I see what you did there. :)

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Might want to edit out your liscense plate.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Sheesh! The last time I bough a set of tires they were just under $200. This time they are just under $300 for the same tires.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Pick up the Ducati tomorrow, can't wait!

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Put the Stage 4 kit on the Wide Glide last week, like having a brand new bike. :)

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Here is a couple of pics of my scoots. the VTX1300 and the SS750. I had a buddy ride my 750 down to one of the local docks with me so we could get some pics.

We all know a few people who could benefit from this book. Heck, if I still worked in an office, I'd put it outside my cubicle.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Recent knee surgery (buff and clean, not replacement) left me uncomfortable putting my feet down and maybe slipping on some sand or gravel. A little knee torque with 850-lb of Goldwing could be real mess. So, after thinking I'd be riding that 2003 GL1800 until the End of Days... gasp - I sold it.

After three weeks without a bike I wasn't feeling right. A few test rides later I moved over (or up, or down, depending) to a 2007 R1200R BMW with a few trimmings. At nearly half the weight of the Honda I ended up with better MPG, lower miles on the odometer, ABS (wow - really), heated handgrips (another wow), heated jacket and gloves (double wow), hard bags and a rear carry-all, three windshields (sport, 20" and 24"), forward-mounted MotoLights and a Sargent saddle. It's fast, it's quiet, it handles great and, above 5000rpm it rips. Never had a BMW bike and what can I say? Hey - I'm a fan.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Great bike, Dan! Used to ride a buddy's BMW in Louisville, they are sweet.

Taking the bike to the gym today for the second day in a row....just happy to still be riding in Chicago in mid-November.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

At 61 the cost of comfort gave way to age. I don't know how I made it this far without Gerbing on my six. Rode 70mph, freeway x 200 miles, last week with temps running 36* to 39* - Gerbing (Rocky boots and thermal bib overalls) made it a pleasant ride. Never had a 3-hour sub-45* ride that left me smiling unless I looked like the Pillsbury Doughboy.

And 30-years living in NC has made me a cold-wimp. :<

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Congratulations on the new scooter, Dan!!! :tu
I haven't rode a BMW since I was a kid, all of 30 years ago. I was used to riding Hodaka's and Kawasaki's in the dirt, I remember being shocked at how a motorcycle could ride like that with so much power. I was in love with that thing, I used to shine it up for free just so I could be around it. :D

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Bringing this thing back to life.

Bought a new helmet the other day. Here it is hanging on my bike.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
 

Here is my 09 Sportster 883 custom. Need to get a new pic I put on new pegs changed out the air filter cover, the timing cover and the derby cover. Thinking about getting a new bike already. (2013 Wide glide)
