I currently ride an "02 Honda Shadow Sabre with my nifty home made stereo system. This has been my favorite bike, ever. Bought her new and plan on riding her till she gives out, like everything else I ride!

Ride a 2005 Rocket III Triumph; 2300cc, 140 Cubic Inches & 148 Foot Pounds Torque. 70% of power at 2500 rpm.

Although it weighs 850 lbs., believe it or not rides like a lot lighter bike. Best part, 10K between preventative maintenance intervals.

Doug,

That's what I call a full stable. I use to have a GS 1100; miss it everyday (knees can't handle it anymore).

 

[yamahonkawazuki]

tjpse are fun AND FAST, ive had the pleasure. best bike i ever rode ws a 41 HD flathead, wiht a jockeyshift at the dragon. its owner alowed me the pleasure, i rode his, while he rode my gs500e. one day i want to run my mot bike at the dragon. aka the tail of the dragon i live 40 mins at highway speed from it. might make a vacation out of this. ride my moto bike. from my home in clinotn, to the dragon, get a motel room, ride hte dragon, then ride back. idk

That's the most freakin' awesome road I have ever been on. It takes about 30-45 min to ride it but you feel like you've worked an 8 hour day at the end of it. Stay at the two wheel in, it's pretty neat.

 

[Mac]

I ride a KLX300 for dirt, had a 73 H2E triple and a 85 V-max for street. Wish I didn't sell them... Oh those were the days...

I have ridden since I was 12, and am currently saving for a decent standard/cruiser. No new-style bikes, as jay leno says "I don't trust a motorcycle I can't kick over or see through".

My two most privileged rides have been on a BSA Goldstar 350 Clubman, an amazing old britbike that looks perfect in my view. What I picture when I think "motorcycle". Sounded amazing too.

I have also had a short drive on a HD flathead, a 1939 bike. Also an amazing machine.

I'll probably be buying a JP cruiser or DS, something like the TX250 Suzuki or the Nighthawk Honda. Maybe even a Lifan if I can get it insured properly.
