Some nice bikes on here. I have an old black and white '05 Road King. Doing my best to ride the wheels off of her. That is my SO's sporty sitting next to her. Aka Hog and Piglet.

Dang, almost don't want to post my pile after seeing some if the bikes in here but what the hell...

98 CBR600 with the plastics off a CBR900RR. Definitely looks better from a distance...

I've actually recently been thinking about getting a new bike. Just don't know if i want a cruiser or sport bike. I've rode sport bikes since I was a kid but now that I'm in my thirties I'm thinking a cruise might be more relaxed.

I play with my food

My 1977 Suzuki GS750 slightly "worked over" from ground up. Was my $200 basket case in 2009..it's my daily driver/rider.20160611_053827.jpg
 
Don't have many pictures I took and the few I have are poor quality. Pre phone cameras, mostly faded Poloroids. So posting web pictures I found.

I house sat for a friend in late 1970. He had an old Sears 106cc basket case in his garage. I put it together and thought it fun, so decided to buy a motorcycle of my own. I've never been one to work my way up (first handgun was a Model 29) so I bought the quickest mass produced motorcycle. I had less than 5 miles MC riding experience on the 106cc. The shop actually closed early so they could follow me and watch me die. I felt bad about disappointing them.

First Motorcycle: 1971 Kawasaki H1 (Mach III). Funny they touted an "unbelievable" 2HP per cubic inch. My Cadillac ATS puts out over 2.2 per cubic inch. How times change. Running chambers and bigger carbs, etc I got less than 15 MPG when run hard.

Second Motorcycle: 1971 BMW R75/5. Thought I'd try sophistication: Was nice for long trips. Did not like the extreme body language needed to wheelie a longitudinal engine with drive shaft. Almost impossible to keep the Del Ortos perfectly synced.

Third Motorcycle: 1973 Kawasaki H2 (Mach IV). Back to two strokes. Much faster than the H1 and with decent brakes. Still somewhat of a flexy-flyer though. Amazed to find a pic with the same mods I did.

Took a break for a few years while more into off-road four wheeling.

Fourth Motorcycle: 1980 Suzuki GS-1100 E.

Fifth Motorcycle: 1981 Suzuki GS-1100 E. My wife wanted one but didn't like the '81 colors, so she took the 1980 and got a 1981.

Sixth and seventh motocycles: 1993 Suszuki GS-1100 Es. A titanium for me and a red for my wife. The titanium was the hardest to find a good pic of and its not very good plus pic has aftermarket exhaust and mine stayed stock. The titanium color was actually fairly close to Silver Coast (Champagne for every other GM brand but Caddy).

Eighth and ninth motorcycles: 1994 Honda VF1000F and CBR700SC Nighthawk. Wanted to try Hondas. The nighthawk for my wife was a huge mistake; she hated the loss of power and the handling differences due to the driveshaft.

Tenth motorcycle: 1985 Yamaha FJ1200. Good to get a boost of torque after the 1000 Interceptor.

Eleventh motorcycle: 1985 Yamaha V-Max. My wife's. She had had enough of the underpowered Nighthawk.

Twelfth and last motorcycle: 1988 Yamaha FZR-1000. I stopped riding a few years later when my wife told me I couldn't take our new son to day care by bungying him to the seat.

I've had so many motorcycles I could never recount them all here, although I remember and miss each and every one lol. I had most all of the 2 stroke street bikes from all the makers, I loved my 2 strokes. Had all the Suzuki gt line except the water buffalo. Had all the yamaha rd's except the rz 350, had the kawi 500 and 750 triples.... the 750 was referred to as the widow maker because of its power and flexi-frame handling.

I just recently got rid of my hayabusa because I'm a tall guy with a back injury, and as much as I liked that modded monster the riding position killed me. I picked up a zx14 (WAY more comfy) that I'm currently installing a turbo kit on. This kit and mapping makes a little over 265 rwhp at 8lbs of boost. Should be fun ;-) I also still have my cammed, slammed, stretched and chromed 1992 gsxr-1100 which is surprisingly quick for such an old bike. That's the bike I've owned the longest. Then a couple dual sports wrap it up for me currently..... but I'm still looking.... I think I might have a problem lol.
 
Lady rider here. I'll have to download and take a few pics of my latest ride. It's my preferred way of travel over my car and truck. I say 90% of all travel is done on two wheels year round here. "Caged life" isn't for me...;-)

Definitely post some pictures
 
I just stole a few pics from fb...Lol.

Ok, the silver bike, red bike and two black bikes have been my babies. Currently have the silver Yam Tourer and black Wide Glide. The black Fatboy was sold in which she had a S&S motor aka my hybrid HD. The lil red baby, my heart and soul, a Honda ACE was unfortunately totaled. I rode her more than any other bike. ((Here comes the pics))

Awesome great pictures

Thank you. Riding is a huge part of my life. Kept me sane this year as well. Lol. I travel both locally and long distance with groups and solo. Some say I'm edgy, but I'm into living life and not wasting life. :-)
