I've got a 2006 KTM 625 SMC (Supermoto) and a 2006 Kawasaki ZX6R Ninja. I used to do a lot of stupid stuff and I never went down thankfully. The supermoto is an awesome all around hooligan bike, if you don't know how to wheelie or you don't like to, don't ride a supermoto because you will before you're done.

The above link is the History of the Harley, and very informative!

And well, SF Men on Bikes is just cool! :)

JMHO, :lifter

Got my first bike today! 2006 Harley-Davidson XL 883 Sportster :lifter

Congratulations and have fun!

Be aware and be safe.

Have a 2007 R6-S. Might be looking to get rid of it as I wont have time to ride it really anymore...

Hmmm, missed that story, going to have to pry into your past. :D

Sounds like a good one.

My Honda Davidson…LOL
 

Picked up this cruiser a few years back basically to ride with the PGR (02 VT 1100 Sabre). Now the other half and I are hooked on riding.

While celebrating our 21st anniversary, we rented this bad boy for a coastal tour and we fell in love with it, the HD Ultra Classic.
Attachment 15820

We may end up buying an Ultra Classic, nevertheless, does anyone have any thoughts or experience on the Triumph Rocket III touring ? We may test one soon before we decide to drop such coinage on the HD… Tips or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Should of Figured..
 

..there would be so many V Twin riders. I ride a 2009 GSX-r 600, and am about to start a build project. My GSX-r is a beauty and not one of those stock bikes covered in crome the young kids are riding. It's all internal, well almost all internal.

As for the bike I'm building, it's going to be built around a Honda 1200 V-Twin (sorry Harley lovers I trust Honda's over any other) on a custom frame. The plans I drew up are calling for a bare bones sleek design with a Marine Corps paint job, we'll see though.

TRock - I love mine and just ignore the comments about a car with two wheels. I know it is simple jealousy. Especially when it is about 28 degrees out. :D

~35 is all I can tolerate commuting to Boone in the fall on the Saber without totally becoming an ice cube and disoriented - with heated seats, grips, and the level of wind break the Ultra affords, I could see riding it well into the 15 degree range, comfortably - a car with two wheels would be heaven :D

The Stable
 

This was most of the fleet when I came home this last time, however the Doc's said no more toys so all but the HD are gone. It was a blast while it lasted. Both my wife and I were MSF Instuctors so we could write them off taxes which was great also.

Here's mine - a '95 900SS/SP.

Back up and riding again...
 

After a year and a half of recovery, I'm back up riding. A close friend, and fellow follower of Christ just put his second girl in college. In an effort to divest, he gave me his bike at a very good price. The bike is an 87 FXLR Custom. When his brother passed in 89, he became the owner, and has ridden and taken care of it for the past 21 years. He was very sentimental about the ride, and finally thought that a good home for it would be a friend. Proud to carry the torch further.

My Rides
 

I originally bought an 05 Fatboy. 1st weekend tore it completely down to the frame and "redid" it my way. Custom paint job, and metal spikes up and down the center of both fenders and gas tank. Custom lowering kit built by myself. Sold it to a local bar owner that wanted to play biker with a cool bike, he laid it down the following summer!

2nd bike is a 95 Sportster 1200 with quite a bit of work done to it. Paint is spray on bed liner. Custom lowering kit, 16" apes, forward controls, motor work to allow it to run with the big bikes. And yes, it will keep up, top speed I had her at was 105mph on the interstate.

I get alot of my work that I can't do, done at Shakey's Cycles in Oak Grove, KY. The owner, Shakey (aka Jeff Smith) is a retired SF member. If you all know him, he's got some pretty sick bikes too. Including his SF tribute bike!

Always like the Bonneville tank shape.

I have returned to my roots....'72 Sportster in a rigid frame!

Nice!

Have you ever considered replacing those pipes with short stubbies, wrapped?

My FXR, a work in progress.

Quite nice, I don't know if I would ride in those conditions though. :eek:

Busa is that a Ducati you also have? I ride a 05 CBR600RR, I am thinking about buying an old harley fixer.

Yes it was. An 04 999S, I had it for about two years and the only time I enjoyed riding it was on track days. It was a pain to ride around town but on the track all you had to do was look into a corner and you were there. It made even me look fast, and one of the conditions for me to be on the track was I had to have a large orange triangle attached to the back of my leathers (you know “slow moving vehicle" emblem). Which by the way is just so wrong!:D

Hey WetDog....I've thought about it, but not sure yet. I've stripped it down and I'm rewiring, doing some cosmetics, etc....and will probably repaint it. With all this damn snow on the ground it's definitely giving me something to do in the garage!

I took a couple steps backwards awhile back.....

Lost 3/4 of the bike due to a small warehouse fire in Germany. still have the rolling chassis, with engine and tranny. everything else (new and old) along with the HHG were lost.

still rolling forward with the restoration plan.

There are some amazing bikes in this thread.

I've been looking at buying a motorcycle for about 6 years now, and I'm finally coming to the point where I actually have the means.

I am absolutely in love with the Ducati SportClassic. The cafe racer look is so sleek and timeless it looks like God's own motorcycle.

Here are some pictures from the Ducati.ms SportClassic forum of some of the exceptionally gorgeous bikes.

The silver one is a Paul Smart 1000LE, and it's beautiful but they're pretty hard to come by; only about 500 are in America.

The black with gold accents is the SportClassic 1000SE; only 100 were made so it's even tougher to find one. There's a thread on the Ducati forum that lists where many of the 1000SE bikes are, and it's almost heartbreaking when the thread is updated with news of a crashed bike.

Thoughts?

I got a Honda CBR 1000RR. Looking for something a little more wife friendly.

1975 FLH
 

Greetings,

All was done to pull a sidecar, and keep up with today's traffic.

My Ride
 

2011 HD Dyna Street Bob (FXDB)
Tons of mods including SF Crest Timing Cover & Derby Cover.
Thunderheader Pipes. Bought it in Miami, rode it to Key West, rode it home to Fort Bragg, then up to Buffalo & back. Over 7,500 miles in under 4 months.

Sweet ride. Is that a 10th Group crest on the Derby Cover?

Can't remember if I posted before...but here's mine, 07 road king...if you're around fay/hope mills/ft bragg, give me a good 'ol "wave"...LOL Not to many road kings this color..

I think you and I were neighbors a few years ago. If you are who I think you are, I lived up the hill from you. You saved my hide once when I had maybe four pelican cases full of comms stuff fall off the back of my truck in Hope Mills.

I must be gettin' "sumtimers"..I don't recall...but where/when (about) did this happen...??

I live near the Wal-Mart distro center in Grays Creek...

I sold it less than a month ago. It was a KTM 990 SM Black. Still haven't decided what to replace it with...

Just joined the club

Why yes it is.

[ATTACH][ATTACH]22678 [/ATTACH][/ATTACH] The green bike is a 66 FLH and the blue one is a 67 FLH.

My wife and I are entering North Carolina via the East coast of Virginia next month. We are headed to Ft. Bragg and looking for a nice two lane scenic route to get us there, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. From Bragg we are headed to Columbia, SC then into Georgia so if you know of any good routes down that way please feel free to share them. Thanks!

Don't own a bike anymore,but saw these two on SF Brothers so I thought I'd just post them..........;) :D

Big Teddy :munchin

Here's two we've built to compete in some competitions(see attachments):

Land Speed Motorcycle Racing
 

Anyone know anything about land-speed racing?

Have been to Bonneville a couple times with a friend. Helped set a record the first time, second time we missed a record by four MPH.

HH6 gave the approval yesterday to build a bike to go after a record. The goal is 174 mph on 110 octane gas, completely un-faired, with a pushrod engine no larger than 120".

Would like to hear from anyone that would like to help.

First pic is the crew from last year. From left to right: Adam Heibert (Zippers Perf), Legendary Dick Hilferty, Dan Baisley (Baisley Perf), Joe Bonneville, Me, Ron Dickey (Owner of Axtell), Chaz Cooney (Axtell Foreman).

Second and third pics are of Dan going 168 mph on Ron's street driven 2002 Harley Dyna.

Wow, wish I knew enough about it. Good luck, sounds like a great project and experience..:lifter
