Re: Motorcycle Thread..
As of five pm yesterday I am a motorcycle owner again. Picked up a 1972 CB350. Can't wait for the inspection so I can ride.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
While we are currently bikeless right now, I have full support from Sweetie for a Honda VTX1300 whenever we can coincide a good deal with available funds!
I'm ready for a cruiser at this stage of life. My last Bike was a 1995 Ducati 916 I bought from my FIL's estate. Sweet bike for sure, but way too uncomfortable. I got to where I would just rather drive a car. Cramped hips, sore back, etc. We bought my wife a Honda Rebel to ride along with, and she enjoyed it for a while but she's lost vision in her left eye and was just not comfortable on the bike anymore. One day, the planets will align and I'll pick up a cruiser. Hopefully by next years' Sturgis! |

I bought her w/ full expectations of having to do some work and replace some worn parts. Since I decided to buy a vintage bike, the CB350 was my target (albeit not red). This one kind of fell in my lap and the price was right. It is pretty darn near original though, so I am happy.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
If I wasn't so old and fat I'd love to try out of the crotch rockets pictured on this thread. They look absolutely awesome and, from what I read in the mags, run like scalded dogs. However, I'll stick to my '07 UltraClassic. It seems that, no matter where I go, I never seem to have enough room in my saddlebags to bring along my troubles and worries.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
If the urge gets too bad, come by and take your pick of any of mine, Volt.

Thanks Brother, but:
1. One too tall 2. The other too fast

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
You are in the right price range. Although once I see my first mechanic bill, I fear I'll have double that into her.

Re: Motorcycle Thread..
Success! I took the old Duker in for a trader and got what I wanted for it.
This new one is crazy nuts with gobs of torque and hp. My wife new it right away when I picked her up from work and she said I had a glow. I will take some pictures tomorrow. |
