Motorcycles

Anyone here ride? im looking to get a bike, maybe looking to buy one used if someone is in the area, but other than that i just want to see how many people here ride

I just sold my 71 Honda CB450 about 2 months ago. It was a project bike that I only got to ride a few times and just no longer had the time to fox with it :tears: It was fun while it lasted. It's all good still got the quads & snowmobile :D

Good luck finding a bike ;)

I want a Hyabusa 1300R does that count. :D

i just sold my xr 250 and im going to buy at some point a xr 650 and make an awesome baja type bike = ]

Two Honda CB 350's (And no, CB doesn't mean captive breed here), a KZ 650, and a Trimuph Tiger.

i got a bunch of bikes my daily ride is either a suzuki hayabusa or a aprilia sxv550. aslo have a yfz450 thats street legal but more setup for the dunes. then i got a crf450r dirtbike and a crf50f dirtbike gotta have one of those to get around the pits when ur at the track. and then i have a custom built banshee with a cbr 1000 rr sbk motor cramed into the frame for drag racing and hill climbs.

I own a Kawasaki Ninja 500. Working on getting a CBR 600 RR or maybe a Triumph Daytona 675

I have a gray 07 yamaha R6, which is in the shop right now cause somebody decided to try to steal it. They couldn't so they politely kicked it over on it's side.... :mad:

I should be picking up my first bike within the next few monthes. I'm gonna get a suzuki sv650

Nothing is better than HONDA!


Wear your gear!

Keep the rubber side down.
:gj:

Damon What bike is that you are working on? it's hot. I like the old school stuff.

I have a 97 gixxer 750. I bought it about two months ago and it's a blast riding in the Georgia mountains with all the curving roads.

Is that one can of Liquid Wrench gonna fix all of that? Surely duct tape will be needed somewhere... :D

i guess we're different 84 harley low glide. don't have any pictures on the computer of it. I lost the need for speed. I just like to be comfy and slow now.

Harold, that is a 1966 Honda CA160 (Touring Benley) often mistakenly referred to as a 160 Dream.
I have been restoring it for about 4 years now and am very close to finishing it.
If you have some time to waste, check out www.cobwebsanddreams.com
It is my "other" hobby.
Oh, shadi11, here's my old harley, just so you don't feel left out...

Damon that was very entertaining the Harley thread was great. Sorry she didn't work out the way you hoped but turned into a good read. Hopefully the Honda CA160 will work out a lil better.

i drive a car like a mainic. Im that guy in the car who is always weaving through traffic. i know that if i were to get a bike, i would get a sport bike, and if i were to get a sports bike, i would die so quickly. i would probably die on the ride home. its not that they r 2 fast, just that i love 2 speed too much for my own good, its such a thrill:D

I have a CRB600. I ride it daily unless its raining when i leave the house. Ive even toted one of my BP's around in my backpack a time or 2. its alot of fun, just watch out for the cars who arent watching out for you. basicly treat every car like they want to run you over :gj:

oh and learn about counter steering. if you want to turn left you have to steer to the right. easier way to explain it is to turn left push on the left grip, to turn right push on the right. if you dont then you will turn too wide and smack a tree or something.

I had the same thing happen to my old ninja like 8 years ago. they tried to steal it and couldnt so kicked it over and i was out of town so the apartment complex called a tow truck to remove it from the lot because it looked trashy laying on its side lol. what a crappy summer that was.

lol. i take it you learned about counter steering the hard way. i did that when i was learning to ride when i was 8. bounced off a tree then went into a fence and gashed my pinky open really good. still have the scar from it too. after that i listend to my dad on how to ride a motorcycle. ive still had some pretty bad wrecks over the years but thats mostly thanks to supercross and just plain being stupid. have only wrecked once on the street in 6 years of riding on the road. (knock on wood) and that happened when i was in drizzling rain. a stop light changed and caught me off guard i hit the brakes and lost the front end thanks to the oil/rain slick that was there.

Yep lol. My parents got me into M.A.M.A. when i was like 8. i was too old for a 60 so they put me on a YZ80 but i was definatly too small for it. I had blocks to stand on at the start gate. Anyway noone told me about countersteering so soon as i was going fast enough for it to matter i clipped a tree. Ahh those were the days. I was a member of the over the handlebars club too hehe.

Tonymul That sucks man how bad did you get hurt?
Hope you had full coverage insurance on your bike.
Is it a total loss or you going to try to fix it?

I raced moto-cross for 4 years, I recently had to sell all my bikes.....But, I am going to try and get a new YZ450F here this Winter and start racing again......Good Times, Good Times.....

For a 45mph full impact, broadside into a Mercedes that had u-turned across my path I got off pretty light - damaged talar dome (ankle), hairline fracture to knee, dislocated tes*es, torn rotator cuff, a broken tooth, whiplash and concussion.....

Lucky I was wearing full gear - Arai RX7, full Joe Rocket leathers, Sidi Vertebra boots, Knox back protector and Joe Rocket leather gloves - I had to be cut out of the gear but that was a small price to pay to get morphine!!

Bike was fully insured but this will be a "not at fault" accident so all payments will come from the other parties insurance.

Bike is a total loss - paid £9200 for it in August 2007 and salvage value is £600 - as its a class B total loss in the UK it can only be purchased for parts and only by a licensed breaker.

I definitely had someone looking out for me on this occasion and do feel pretty lucky to be here.

Tony

WOOHOOOO I passed my MSS course. I was the validictorian of a total of.....10 students lol...I can't wait to find my bike and start riding

Man I have had a few close calls with cars pulling out in front of me or cutting me off. Sorry to here that I know you are feeling that but atleast you are alright now. Just don't give up now it is bike shopping time...lol
