Nice bike. That watch on the front wheel gives me anxiety.

I own several motorcycles.

My 2003 Yamaha FZ1 has almost 200k miles on it. I tour around everywhere with it. I purchased the 2016 Yamaha R6 a few years ago because I wanted a track bike.



I JUST bought a 2018 Ural last month. I've always wanted a bike with a sidecar.



Here's a video of my dog riding in the side car. I attached a GoPro to the sidecar and pointed it towards him while driving. :D

This is my second Triumph Bonneville -- upgraded last year for the 1200cc water-cooled T120. Ride it to work every day, can truly say my commute is the best part of my day!

Sweet pair of Yamaha's...love the bumble bee FZ1 especially, classic! I had a blue 2001 FZ1 for about 10 years and enjoyed many memorable trips on it.

The 790 duke is an absolute hoot to ride and if I didn't have an affinity for Triumph triples, that would be a close second on my list for a lightweight street bike for hooning around. Keep in mind that KTM will be releasing the 890 duke later this year, which promises to be even another level up on the hooligan scale.

I’m guessing you’re considering a 765 street triple? I’m thinking on replacing my 675R with a Street RS...or possibly a Speed RS, this coming season.
I’ll say this, the KTM is more raw and visceral which in a way makes it more fun...but the street triple is almost as much fun and is quite a bit more refined in feel and easier to just enjoy a relaxed ride.

I rode for almost 20 years without an accident. Then I was cutoff on the parkway. 3 months in hospitals and rehabs and 5 months in a wheelchair. I miss it and will take a ride once my legs are more healed (it’s been almost 3 years) just to know I can but then that’s it. I can’t put my family through that again. My only advice to you any of you still riding is keep your head on a swivel and loud pipes save lives. Be safe out there folks.

Although I don't ride, I've always loved those late sixties HD FLH1200 bikes. Since I've retired I've been scouting some 70's AMF Electra Glides. For years I've been told to: "Stay away, garbage, poorly made" which has halted any progress acquiring one.

Are they really that bad? The true vintage bikes are too pricey for a toy right now but the 70's motos are very affordable.

Don't wanna hijack the thread so please PM me. All opinions welcome.

Not anymore. I grew up owning Triumphs and Harleys, riding with friends for years. Had a bad crash once, totalled my first new sportster, drunk and high dude hit me head on, helmet saved my life, then built a chopper out of it. A few years later found myself taking roundabout routes to work and other places to stay out of heavy city traffic. Too many close calls with drivers not paying attention and double tasking behind the wheel, finally gave up riding but always renew my cycle permit just in case. Always wanted my '71 Superglide back though.
