What motorcycle do you own ? - Page 5

I just ****** off my wife...and bought a bike.

I'll post pictures tomorrow, after I pick it up.

It's a Honda Shadow Aero (Retro looking bike) in black.

Its been about 20 years since I've owned a bike, and since I'm having my mid-life crisis....I decided to get another.

After riding my ke100 for afew seasons I have the urge to upgrade

I have been considering a KLR650 or maybe even a vmax.

My wife does not share my vision

" My wife does not share my vision "

.... I wonder Yamawhy !?

Gbud · 10-20-2003, 10:46 PM

Glad to hear ya got a bike Jcash.

I was thinking of selling mine...

I cant seem to keep the damn thing under 100. I got another freaking ticket this weekend....

So if anyone here wants to buy a very nice clean 01 Ninja 900r with a couple nice addons let me know.... otherwise it hits the local rag soon....

Most people just laugh, but it sure is damn fun (convenient too)!

desmo_abx · 10-21-2003, 12:41 AM

I currently own two bikes: '73 Triumph Bonny and a '98 Duc ST2. Both are sweet in their own way...

Boomerang Rapido · 10-21-2003, 02:53 AM

I'm co-owner of a Yamaha Virago 535, not that big a machine but I still love it

My mother owns the other half but it works out nicely since she never rides anyway. Gotta say I have somewhat of a guilty conscience about that bike cause I don't use it nearly as much as I should... it's got entirely too much time just sitting in the garage.

My first bike was an old Yamaha XZ 550, which I crashed. Or shall we say I was taken down by a run-away trailer that jumped off the trailer hitch of a car comming out from a driveway

I used to have a Triumph Bonneville, a '72 I think. Sweet baby Jesus that was a beautiful bike. I have regretted selling it ever since I sold it in the mid 70's. Turquoise with chrome fenders and trim.

a Kawasaki KE100 ... it's a 100cc street and trail
bike. It only goes 60 MPH but it's alot of fun.

So who's got what ?

dawn! I don't know much about bikes.
Haven't even driven you (but want to).

BMW and Ninjas are pretty good I heard.

Soneca-II · 10-21-2003, 07:27 AM

Right now a Honda Hornet 600 '03 model, blue like it should be

Great machine

Can't go wrong with one of this

I've got a 2002 Kawasaki Mean Streak, lot's of chrome goodies as well, planning on getting the vance and hines pipes and power commander for it next spring.........wooooohoooooo.

1985 Kawasaki Ninja 600R

It's still in good shape. Only 18,000 miles and I believe it's the first water cooled motorcycle Kawasaki made. It's heavy and underpowered compared to todays bikes, but I still like it.

Nice bike, but not the first Kawasaki water cooled. I believe that honor goes to the 1979 Kawasaki 1300, 6 cyl. My best friend bought one new. Here's a photo from '79 or '80. The big 1300 in the rear. I was driving the 850 Suzuki parked in front.

None, they scare the crap out of me. I have had enough accidents on regular bikes to 99.9% know i will kill myself on a powered one. Also about 5 or 6 years ago, one of my uncles was killed on a bike.

jcash · 10-21-2003, 09:07 PM

Here it is...just picked it up today!

Again, it's a 2000 Honda Aero (VT1100C3) - Black

Don't mind the mess in the garage....
