Hey, just wondering...
How many of us are there 'round here? I know there's more than I expected... Tell us what you ride....

And, maybe we can convince the powers that be to make a new forum for us... yay!

'72 cb350 cafe

Maykyr & I just picked up an older Yamaha 550 Maxim.

77 BMW R100RS (1000cc)
78 BMW R80/7 (800cc Hotrod Project)
75 Yamaha RD350 2 Stroke set up for GP race
(sounds like a pissed off Chainsaw) oh and its for sale! $800

Hey, If theres enough of us maybe we could start a Gothic Biker Club!

Oh I know there are a few of you out there intrested in learning to ride so here is a link to the Knoxville Rider Education Program (I HIGHLY recommend taking )

Keep the rubber side down

83 Dressed out Goldwing (which I love)
83 Dressed out Silverwing (which I also love)
79 Naked Goldwing (which I love when it runs....for now I tolerate it.)
88 Yamaha Virago (Which has been STOLEN by BDL....Partially because it fits her, but mostly because it hates me.)

87 Suzuki 550....which I hate cause it is a sports bike and they feel funny. It has a charging problem as well...which I would fix if I wanted to ride it. Which I don't. It was only $500 bucks though.

i had a red version of this GZ250 (Baby Bike) which I traded in for thimble's new car about 8 months ago...

*sniff* I miss my baby. I may get another one in the next couple of years, but for now I need to save my money!

The last bike I had was a KZ650 about... um... 8 years ago

I miss it. I could care less about the bike. I just miss riding. My sugar momma won't buy me one; says I'll kill myself on it. *sigh* I guess It's for the best, though... I can't figure out how I'd get the baby seat on it, any way.

Its not a bike but i've got a '46 Willys CJ2A. Its as close to riding on top af a vechicle as you can get with being a motor bike. Top speed of 40, 45 with the windshield down going down a steep grade. And low gears that will scare you. I'm getting ready to build a T Bucket. I'm also going to build an adult big wheel first to get my welding tubing down, and a lowrider bicycle or 2 for shits and grins.

I want a motorcycle but i've got enough of a car habit right now, bikes would just make things worse.

I'm in for a 'mechanical' forum for cars and bikes, and shit automotive/engine powered.

junkie wants to learn to ride.......... mmmmmm biker girls....... mmmmmm

Woo, I just purchased a 2001 Suzuki GS500. First bike I've ridden in about 8 years. Quite happy to be out in the sun on two wheels again. Wheee!

I'll go ridin' with ya... if ya come out to the desert.

I don't have a bike, but I sure look purdy on the back of one.

"wink, wink, nudge, nudge, hint, hint"

lets see-
1st bike-
1980 yamaha xs1100j midnight special

pretty bike, fun to ride presently in Vader's posession
not *quite* in this nice condition


2nd bike
1986 yamaha radian 600

greal little towner- but not as much fun for x-country, but quick.
rebuilt it for an ex- shes playing w/ it someplace in MN

3rd bike
1982 honda silverwing 500cc

hated the rear brake- almost killed me on the test drive
sold it to vader 2 days later
after rebuilding it a few times w/ vader he eventually sold it.
had an awesome custom seat

4th bike
1986 honda rebel 450

cute little bike- too small for my taste- ok for commuting to school n back. great looker- and women like driving it.
presently in VA w/ the cutest lipstick lesbian i've ever had the pleasure of meeting. or photographing.

5th bike
ANOTHER 1986 yamaha radian 600
<i'll spare you another pic>
what can i say? cheap- bullitproof, fast n fun!
presently on the west side of town in a buddys garage- he occasionally rides it.. just now it needs a little work- may just sell it to him and use the $ for somthing else. that or pull parts for the one in MN.

6th bike
1993 yamaha gts 1000

GREAT FUN!!
not as good a looker (classically) as the midnight special. must be the seat. the mirrors only do you any good if you have a hand fettish, and the sport bike handlebars are a bit much for a long trip, and i DETEST the bright blue seat the previous owner put on it...
BUT
it has a modified fzr1000 125hp racing engine 0-60 in less than 3, fuel injection, ABS 60-0 in less than 80 feet, single sided front suspension that rides like a dream, & givi hardcases.

mirrors and handlebars as well as seat are up for replacement soon as i have a little extra $..
still looking for my next one-- was thinking of a rotary engine.
i like the odd stuff.

well- thats my collection- of bikes anyway..

derk.
