Motorcycling.

[SkwerI]

Wow, Dave. The thing looks like it's almost airborne even sitting still! Try to keep it down to double digits, will ya?

 

[Reddog]

Nice ride Dave.
That is a big switch from Ural.

 

[DMc]

Thanks, guys. It is a big difference, but the Ural was just an exercise in trying to sidetrack my first love, which is road riding. It's kind of like climbing trees, something as you get older you are suppose to have more sense about, at least enough so as to do something less risky.

But as you can tell, I have thrown up my hands on that also...I have fully surrendered. I love climbing trees. I love fast motorcycles.

Nice bike, but I'd rather the Ural.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

WORD!

 

[No_Bivy]

nah.....I drove one...they suck. NICE bike!

 

[pigwot]

My first bike was a Suzuki Titan T500; a two cylinder 500cc two-stroke. Second bike was the 1978 XS750 shaft drive triple Yamaha.
Next bike was a 1974 BMW R90/6. Rode that one countless miles all over the US and Canada.
One friend rode a Ducati, another had a Norton Commando, and we'd trade bikes on long trips, though they hated the 'buzz' and vibration of the Yamaha.
(the low-slung, long wheelbase design of the Suzuki seemed to be an attempt at copying the lines of a British bikes)

...and now I don't ride...

650 gs dakar here...........logged 6k this summer

 

[Reddog]

Thanks Butch, my D2Xs, my buddies 300/f2.8 AF-S.

 

[Tzed250]

Oh yeah, said I was going riding. Here was my route. Perfect day, though a little chilly at first. The pics are on one of the finest stretches of pavement you are likely to find. Garwood,WV to Spanishburg, WV is pure bliss on two wheels.

[SkwerI]

Hah! I like the license tag.
You know what an expert is, right? An Ex is a has been, and a Spurt is a drip under pressure.

 

[Tzed250]

My brother taught me that line 30 years ago!!!

 

[SkwerI]

Well I don't know any new jokes!

 

[Buzz]

So I bought and sold a 1999 VFR 800 to raise some funds, sold my R6 to a guy in Germany, intended to be sensible, but bought this instead

 

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Seems sensible to me Matt

 

[Buzz]

Very LOL!

Dunno what you mean by that mate, I have 2 x sets of leathers, one for racing and one for ride outs.

I also have a set of textile kit for when I'm just cruising around or the weather is crap!
