Motorcycle Riders?

I'm snowed in big time. Drifts around the hut are up to the windows. I did move snow from in front of the shack to get the trash out to the dump. (the shack is where my bike is) It may get all the way up to 20* today!

my dad buitl his own bike from scratch when i was a kid, it was sort of a 60's looking street racer and was well good. i was going to get myself a bike but my doctor advised me against it as i have an ear condition and the engine noise would deafen me for life, i was gutted. i think that triumph make the most visually stunning bikes around, the triumph speedmaster is a work of art. its a retro-futuristic looking beast which wouldnt look out of place in the apocalyptic wastes of the mad max films.

shovel, sick bike! i love the drag bars or clip ons on the old bikes like that. if done correctly, a sportster like that is one of my dream bikes. right behind my MV augsta, cafe racer and bobber

sorry, not a sportster, 383. It's a 1982 Shovelhead Wide Glide w/ 90" (1475cc) stroker engine (like your 383).

wow, i just found this thread. I couldn't help but post and i rarely post. I ride a 05 ninja 500. Its my first bike and i love it to death, never once in my life have i ever thought about riding till last year and then i was hooked, but i crave for more power and speed. I plan on getting a cbr 1000RR. Its nice to see people with the same interests and hobby. heres my little baby, It was used as a clothing rack when i had an eye problem for a couple of months. Riding with one eye is real scary because depth preception is way off.

I had a 2000 Honda CBR600F4. Put 16,xxx miles on in a year and a half, and sold it. 2 winters ago I bought an '01 Yamaha R1 but sold it last year. I miss it... I maybe want to get a 600 to do track days... but I really want a Ducati Ten Nine Eight... best street bike ever built?

My babies...

The CBR 600 is the next bike I plan to get when my Ninja kicks it... if that ever happens... damn thing is indestructible.
Stunning paint job on that R1.

Thanks! That was my Gary McCoy replica... If I'd have kept it any longer I was gonna do a Vale 46 theme...

Damn, that's the last year of the big ninjas that I still like the body styling. And I'm only 3 hours from you.
But I'm a po' bitch atm.
