Looks like a Dyna.

[HK3-]

Went riding this past Saturday. Bike was really heavy in the turns and had to really fight it.... Finally realized I had picked up a nail in my rear tire somewhere along the way. Looks like it's time to buy a new back tire. :td

[lbowles2]

Here's my 2010 Triumph Thunderbird

Big heads! What CC is your Triumph?

[lbowles2]

Big heads! What CC is your Triumph?

1600cc's of parallel twin power :noon

This badboy will rock and roll... and it's for sale. Frickin' greedy a** Uncle Sam is making it necessary to part with it. We really could use the money but deep-down I hope it doesn't sell :rolleyes:

I wish, it's just the 883. Figured that would be fine for my first street bike. And no, I'm a ranger I just rolled out to show my coworkers. But it's fun to show ppl the pic and say I was getting hassled by the law

My new toy, graduation present to myself. :)And dude, I am not the riding gear police.

BUT. If you do nothing else, get those ****ing sneakers off your feet when you're riding. I had an 80 year old slam in to my bike last June, I'm still rehabbing from the accident, and if I hadn't had riding boots on I would have lost my foot. Just sayin'

[sikk50]

It was either cheap on the helmet and get boots and vest or buy good helmet and get boots and vest next pay day bc I ended up putting more down than I had expected to after seeing the apr rate. With the accidents I've worked I stand by my decision for now. I rather lose a foot than my noodle.

[Volusianator]

I finally broke down and tool my air cleaner cover in to be repainted, can't wait to get it back so I can ride.

Even if you've got some leather construction boots or something around they would be 100 times better than sneakers. Just lookin' out, not trying to bust balls.

Na I totally understand, I've seen what happens trust me

I got a few miles left on mine, but they will need to both be replaced early this spring.

Mine is about half gone and the shop is telling me they don't patch/plug bike tires. :sh

And mine runs like a raped ape...of course I'm the ape running it

It's Alive!!!!!! After crashing my favorite pointless toy at Sears Point in 2008, followed by a divorce and some other yucky stuff I've finally gotten back on my feet to where I could fix my Ducati and give my KTM a break this summer. Just waiting on a couple last bits but here's the proof. :D

Nice that you two get to ride together but separate. Congrats and be safe! Hi-beams on all the time is my recommendation. :tu

Picked up my new bike yesterday. Rode 'er home from Delaware and loved every minute of it. Great bike!! 2011 FLTRU (Road Glide Ultra) Merlot. I've already logged 250 miles on 'er. :D

Congrats Tripp. Leigh is wanting to get her license to ride.

I am a little jealous Max, sweet looking ride!!!!

It's about this time of year that I miss my bike, sold it when I bought a boat, not sure if it was a good swap :(

[shilala]

While the weather was still crap, I fixed the bad light on my light bar up front. The guys at the Honda shop had put the light bar on an unswitched circuit thinking they were helping me out (helping kill my battery, I suppose).
So, while I was installing an iPhone charger and speakers and an iPhone holder on my bike, I moved those lights back to a switched circuit. I'd like to put them on my high beams, but that'll have to wait.
I got a new leather jacket with a hoodie built in, I love it. Lisa and I are both looking for boots.
I managed to rip my trunk bad yesterday because I never rectified the retarded situation the original owner created there. I guess that makes me twice the tard.
We got 125 miles in yesterday, it's the 5th or 6th time I've been out this year, but the first time I didn't freeze my nads off. :D
So that's where we're at.
We need boots, and I'd like to get cruise put on Lisa's little 500 Shadow. I love mine, it's a big help. I'm sure she'd enjoy it, too.
Oh, and chrome...
I need a front fender rail, and I need to find a front fender tail, chromed. I don't want the tail, but the original owner had a leather mudflap with tassles and reflectors on there that hit the road and cracked the fender all up around the screw holes. A fender tail would cover all that mess and keep stuff from cracking further.
There's some more chromage I'm waffling about, but ya just gotta go one chunk at a time. :D

Don't make her too heavy, she'll get slow. ;)

[HK3-]

Beautiful bike man. Someday I will get a bike! What kind of bike did you start out on?

Well really I started out on a Kawasaki KD-80 when I was a kid. ;)

As for street bikes I started out with a KTM 525 Supermoto which really wasn't street legal but it was good fun. I then moved to the Ducati 999 that I only owned for about 6 months before I got this 1198S.

[shilala]

Don't make her too heavy, she'll get slow. ;)
I blew the mouse fetuses out of the V&H pipes, so I'm getting about 75 out of her. I'd like to lose another 15 mph or so, and I'll be right where I'm happy.
I forgot to mention, I got a brand new stock seat on ebay for $125. Mine had a big gash melted in it. What happened to it, I'll never know, but it was nasty. It made a big diff in "newing up" the bike.
Weight change=neutral (unless there's a difference in unburned plastic vs. non-burned plastic.)

Scott, don't you have back problems? That seat will be the death of you. I'd rather sit on concrete. Check out Mustangs (my preference for you bike) or Corbin.

Bikes been down for over a week now and seeing the sun out makes we want to ride something kind of bad.

Anybody get/getting some new accessories for the season?

I've been out 6 or 8 times between the raindrops.
I got some new gas, and I got some new really heavy thread to sew up my trunk bag. It got all ripped up cause I've been too lazy to cut out a hunk of wood and bolt it to the inside bottom so it'll quit crumpling up on me.
I have been wanting to get one of those front fender chrome double rail deals. I'll just wait till I have time to put it on. If I can't fix my saddlebag, I probably won't bolt on chrome either, right?

This thing is what I'm talking aboot...

Glad to see you are riding that thing. :tu Hoping to be up in VA again sooner than later.

Had some buds in from VA over the holiday week/weekend. We did some riding but it was hotter than a muther out there. The temps here stayed in the lower 90's which made it a real turd when you were stuck at a light. Picked up some black header wrap at the Harley shop and wrapped my headers in the attempt to knock down some heat. Worked pretty good.

[weak_link]

So it looks like the machine shop is going to be done with my pegs for the Ducati this weekend, so yay for that. This week I thought I'd fire her up just to hear the lovely clatter that is my bike. No clatter but a whole lotta gas dumping out from under the tank. I'm stoked cuz I totally needed another project instead of riding. :r :r

I'm selling a couple bikes, anyone need a toy?

Ducati 996S, carbon fiber everything for 7k or a KTM Supermoto hooligan machine for $3.6k. Come on boys, it'll give you an excuse to come have a smoke in CA while you pick up your new bike. :D

[Mister Moo]

Recent knee surgery (buff and clean, not replacement) left me uncomfortable putting my feet down and maybe slipping on some sand or gravel. A little knee torque with 850-lb of Goldwing could be real mess. So, after thinking I'd be riding that 2003 GL1800 until the End of Days... gasp - I sold it.

After three weeks without a bike I wasn't feeling right. A few test rides later I moved over (or up, or down, depending) to a 2007 R1200R BMW with a few trimmings. At nearly half the weight of the Honda I ended up with better MPG, lower miles on the odometer, ABS (wow - really), heated handgrips (another wow), heated jacket and gloves (double wow), hard bags and a rear carry-all, three windshields (sport, 20" and 24"), forward-mounted MotoLights and a Sargent saddle. It's fast, it's quiet, it handles great and, above 5000rpm it rips. Never had a BMW bike and what can I say? Hey - I'm a fan.

Great bike, Dan! Used to ride a buddy's BMW in Louisville, they are sweet.

Taking the bike to the gym today for the second day in a row....just happy to still be riding in Chicago in mid-November.

[Mister Moo]

....just happy to still be riding in Chicago in mid-November.At 61 the cost of comfort gave way to age. I don't know how I made it this far without Gerbing on my six. Rode 70mph, freeway x 200 miles, last week with temps running 36* to 39* - Gerbing (Rocky boots and thermal bib overalls) made it a pleasant ride. Never had a 3-hour sub-45* ride that left me smiling unless I looked like the Pillsbury Doughboy.

And 30-years living in NC has made me a cold-wimp. :<

[shilala]

Congratulations on the new scooter, Dan!!! :tu
I haven't rode a BMW since I was a kid, all of 30 years ago. I was used to riding Hodaka's and Kawasaki's in the dirt, I remember being shocked at how a motorcycle could ride like that with so much power. I was in love with that thing, I used to shine it up for free just so I could be around it. :D

[Fordman4ever]

Bringing this thing back to life.

Bought a new helmet the other day. Here it is hanging on my bike.

Here is my 09 Sportster 883 custom. Need to get a new pic I put on new pegs changed out the air filter cover, the timing cover and the derby cover. Thinking about getting a new bike already. (2013 Wide glide)

[RWhisenand]

Thanks guys!

[gbum]

im wondering for those who choose to buy metrics instead of harley... in Malaysia... own a harley is an ultimate dream for each easyriders... but the price is freaking expensive... 883 iron will be MYR84k(usd 26k)...

so im wondering... why metrics? price wise? or other factor...

[Fordman4ever]

I bought mine because of price. I was a poor Airman new to the Air Force and I paid less than $5000 for my bike.

[Remo]

Soooo, my best buddy at work decided to up and leave me to go to the Motor Squad, I have kicked around being a Motor for years, but never committed due to all the dog and pony stuff they have to do i.e parades, funerals, special events etc. on top of that all the tickets and DUI's which equals lots of court, which is good $$$ but I have no time for that much court.

But maybe this fall I will go to the school and see how it goes, we have gone from Harley to BMW.

[Fordman4ever]

did the move to BMW piss off a lot of people?? Seems to me it would.

A few, the Harleys are a classic, they kept a few for special occassions and one for our police museum but I think they decided that for police work the beamer is function over form.

[Fordman4ever]

Anybody need some stock HD parts? My wife has been all over me to get rid of this stuff, so if any of you harley guys need some stock parts, please take a look at my craigslist ads. I will ship, price will include shipping.

[LasciviousXXX]

I figured I should post as I bought a new scoot this weekend.

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o278/LasciviousXXX/null_zps379314f6.jpg


2013 Fat Bob w/ Stage 1 kit and upgraded Vance & Hines pipes to match the matte black. I've been wanting another Harley for years and it just turned out to be the right time. I've been toying with the idea of naming her Nigella but I'm not 100% on it yet. If I do go with that name it would be the first non-p*rn star name for one of our vehicles EVER! All my previous bikes/cars have been named after my favorite entertainers. Maybe I'm losing my edge in my old age :)

[LasciviousXXX]

One more shot :D

The front is a BEAST!

Sweet score Tyr!!!!

[icehog3]

Congrats Týr! Sweet ride!

Hoping for some more October riding here before they drop the salt. :)

[LasciviousXXX]

Thanks gents! I've got a Sundowner seat and some Arlen Ness pegs/grips on order so I'll be putting those on soon-ish. Really loving it thus far. The thing just eats the road. With that wide front and back tire I feel like I'm on a version of the damn bat-cycle. :lr

Good riding my friend, fortunately I don't have to deal with salt/snow to ruin my rides..... BUT...... that may be changing in the future. Nothing definite yet but the winds of change are blowing.

[IBQTEE1]

Nice bike Tyr. I say name her Bobbi!! LOL

Nice bike Andrew!

There needs to be more motorcycle talk around here ;)

[icehog3]

If the weather would ever turn here, maybe I could get some miles out. I had 1000 miles last March, this year it's almost May and I have 100. :(

[LasciviousXXX]

Dang Cmdr! 1000 miles in a month, nice :)

The weather around here always cooperates so its been really great riding lately. I've been motoring around on the weekends visiting some local places and its been a lot of fun. I love my new girl and she is a speed demon!!!

Maxed out here in 2 years and 8 months...sure would like to end up some place warm.

Now you're talking! Have you considered Cali or Vegas? I'd come visit you in either place LOL.

I was going to do Laughlin River Run last week but everything with the sale of the house came to a head last week and I had to be here to do all the finalizing. Oh well, plenty more runs to hit this spring. AZ Bike week was EPIC this year.

[icehog3]

I considered finding a Sugar Mama in Manhattan Beach, but so far Rob hasn't found me one. Vegas is a possibility too.

[LasciviousXXX]

I can't tell you how excited I am about that possibility. And who says deck boy couldn't be your Sugar Mama? You could live in the elevator :tu

[icehog3]

I don't think his Missus would be down with that.

Plus, I like boobs when I cuddle. And no, moobs are not boobs. :r

[LasciviousXXX]

Moobs are most definitely not boobs :r

I hear you though Tom. I really do love my warm riding weather in AZ. I'll be honest though, I don't know what it is with me lately but I've been riding like a banshee the last 2 or 3 months. Now I'm generally a very safe and defensive driver, especially with all the fun asshole drivers in PHX, but the last couple of months I've been riding at 85-90 almost exclusively. Hell, on the way into work this morning (I have a 45 min commute to downtown during rush hour) I blew past quite a bit of traffic in the HOV lane doing 90 before I realized it. I think I need to simmer down a bit and quit taking so many chances.

[shilala]

Lookin good, Admiral.
I threatened to get my scoot out for a ride yesterday, then decided I didn't want to freeze.
They're both all ready to go, and I've had them out and running.

I've been threatening all winter to get a bunch of white led's to highlight the chrome, still haven't done it. Wanted to add a couple bass speakers and an amp and 4 more sats. Didn't buy a single hunk of chrome, either.
I only need to cover one swing arm and it's done.
I have to shorten the front fender, too. Some previous owner goof put a mud flap on it and it's got the fender all cracked.

I guess I'll just work on her when the sun comes out. :tu

Put on the new rear wheel to match the front wheel in the picture a few posts up, with a chrome rotor and some more chrome on the back end. New headlight next, and I'm done 'til the winter.

[xFreebirdx]

I've owned this since 05. It has a dozen handmade parts on it. It's a 1996 Heavily Modified 1250cc, Stage 3 heads, Red Shift cams, Screaming Eagle

[Col. Kurtz]

If you want LOUD, I can vouch for those cycle shack drag pipes. Need dang earplugs to stay near it. I plan to lose them as soon as I can find something else. In the meantime I jammed some universal baffles up there.

I like the colors on your WG. Pretty sweet.

[RWhisenand]

Well I'm just starting to look around for a dual sport bike. I've not done much road riding, mostly moto, and some open desert riding/racing. Now since we've started splitting time between the desert in NV and our place in North Tahoe I can see the value of a plated MC to link some cool fire roads and trails with out needing to trailer to each trail head. Probably end up with a CRF450x set up for NV plates, but open to other suggestions!
