Haven't owned a bike since back then, had a Ducati 900 SS, a Triumph bonneville silver jubilee and Norton commando (not at the same time though). **** japan. Also Mick Doohan is God. |
I've never owned a bike other than a bicycle, but I've wanted an old motorcycle for quite some time. Was considering an old CB or Norton, I love the cafe racer style, but after talking to some guys at work I think I would be better off buying a newer cafe bike. Considering a Triumph Scrambler or Moto Guzzi V7.
Cool thing about the Scrambler, it has the high side pipes similar to the Triumph that Evel Knievel used to jump on in the late 60's the one he crashed at Caesar's palace on. |

This is probably my favorite picture I have of my bike. Anybody ride to Arkansas? Great bike trip and just a short shot down 71 from KC.

1979 Honda CBX FTW.
Straight Six, 1050CC. Six cylinders, six carbs, 8200 redline, zero to 100 and back again in less than 10 seconds. Unmistakable engine note, like a Ferrari V12. |

In response to the thread header:
I ride a 2005 Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe. Previous bike was a 2005 Honda Shadow Aero Frenquently check your tire air pressure Next bike will most likely be a Heritage Softail Topeka Harley Davidson was very good to deal with when looking at my first HD last year. I'll post pics later. |

I had a customer's car hit by a kid with no insurance while at my shop. I got it fixed for the customer and just paid for it out of my pocket . it was the right thing to do Posted via Mobile Device |
Usually in that situation its good to have a working relationship with a body shop.
The hit isn't as hard. Posted via Mobile Device |
SO I have a 2007 bike that I put 20k miles on in the first season I owned it (bought it new)
The bike sits now in my garage, with about 22k miles on it (have bought and rode other bikes while it sat) Sitting for literally 3 years and 8 months, fired up on the first try and ran no problem. Battery is coming from the internet, just need a taillight and it is ready to pass inspection and be licensed. Only thing I did to store it was put stabil in the gas tank, and turn off the petcock. |
Blasphemy.

very confused. I agree.
do that chit with a Suzuki. like putting 22" rims on a Ferrari. |

lol. No shit.
I mean, custom bikes look cool, but not a GD Ducati. JFC. I wouldn't pay $50 for that thing. |
Ok, I have a 2007 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom. I'm thinking about debaffling it this weekend. Has anyone here ever done it? Pro's? Con's? Tips?

not too hard. one thing is to consider if it'll run a little lean as a result. usually, however, they come a little rich from the factory so no need for a fuel commander / etc. |

I'd love to have a road king...but can't afford it.
I started with a 1983 yamaha virago 500. http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gal...0%20Virago.jpg after a few years I moved on to a 1985 magna 700. http://images04.olx.com/ui/6/42/69/1...1277997548.jpg I'm currently riding 02 shadow sabre. don't have any pics...but this is it almost exactly. I have cobra shotgun pipes on it with a mustang seat as pictured and same saddle bags pictured. also added a windshield and highway pegs https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...hW1S21yrg1J5E- these look like my pipes...but the saddle bags and seat aren't the same. but this is my bike basically sans cushy mustang seat and highway pegs. http://images.psndealer.com/dealersi...P1982265_1.jpg this one has my pipes but no bags. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3119/3...211dac3e93.jpg it's a good bike. plenty of power for two. never had to do a thing to it other than tires and oil. got 25k on it so far. |
so...question for you baggers with a cushy ride...like a road king or similar...
I can ride about an hour...maybe hour and a half....and I'm ready to get OFF that dang thing. I wonder......would a road king make much difference? would it be so much more comfortable that I wouldn't be wanting off after an hour or so.....or......am I just a wimp? |
Quote:
If you're hands get numb, you can get some gloves with Gel padding in them. but, 99% of it is the seat. I had the same deal on my Vstar; stock seat kicked my ass. switch to an aftermarket (can't recall the brand...maybe Corbin) and I could easily burn an entire tank of gas in a ride. |

I rode 350 Miles on July 3rd down to Missouri to get fireworks on my Triumph Tiger 800 XC. By the time I got back to Iowa I felt like I had been running a Weed Eater all day. On a side Note: Man I want a Norton Commando. Been looking. http://classic-motorbikes.net/images...750_combat.jpg |

you know....my sabre doesn't really vibrate my hands much. and the mustang seat really is comfy. it's nice to be able to put my feet up on the highway pegs for a change of position....... but man...you crazy bastards riding all the way to sturgis and shit....that's just NUTS. |
I put my 07 zzr600 on craigslist this morning.
Sold in an hour. |
Quote:
EDIT: Ah, just googled 07 zzr600 to see, and I'm looking for a bigger one instead of the sporty ones like that. Still curious what something like yours would go for though. |
Quote:
Well, I debaffled it this weekend. Didn't make in really loud, but made the tone a lot deeper. I've got to say, I really like the sound of it now. |
Quote:
man, I wish Ducati still made their sport classic 1100 etc. I don't "think" they still do. I saw a black one up close and personal at a bike/coffee hangout. Sounded unreal, looked amazing. I would love to own one. http://www.motoessence.com/forumfotos/duc_sport1000.jpg http://fivesgear.com/pics/Ducati/34/...ort-1000_9.jpg |

IMO the sexiest Duc ever made was the 888 SPO. http://i39.tinypic.com/105v2nr.jpg |
yeah, those are slick.
I love the redesign ('08 I think) of the super bikes. The new 848 and 1098 are sweet looking. I love them all though lol |
you could always get the Desmosedici; ...only run you about $45k.
:D http://images.traderonline.com/img/5...mb_770x574.jpg |
Anybody know anything about BSA's?
This one was listed down the road. Seems way overpriced. http://waterloo.craigslist.org/mcy/3928633809.html |
