The motorcycle picture thread

[simon1]

Come on guys...let's see the pics. of your bikes. Any and all... The touring bikes, cruisers, sport bikes, "Adventure Bikes"...what ever that is, dual purpose, MX, Enduro, etc.

My first "mine" bike that I got when I was a kid after riding the lawn mower engine minibikes for awhile.

Honda CT70 that had a top speed of all of 40 mph. I don't remember how many handle bars I had to replace that were broken playing in the dirt. I had the engine apart and put back together so many times you could throw the parts in a box and shake it and the parts would go back together by themselves.

My current bike that Dad bought me new...a 1972 Yamaha DS7 250 street bike. I guess Dad got tired of me breaking the dirt bike. This one needs some work.

A Kawasaki Mach III that I had...a little 500cc two stroke crotch rocket.

Some bikes I have ridden...Hey, didn't you and your riding buddies trade bikes when you were riding?

Bridgestone 100.

Hodaka Super Rat.

Honda 650.

Kawasaki KZ1000...talk about a crotch rocket.

Harley 1300 Police bike...talk about being a hog on handling.

And son-in-law has Harley's answer to the Honda Goldwing, but I don't have a pic. of it and am not sure of the exact model. It has a fairing, saddlebags, a radio, king and queen seat, etc., etc.

So...what you guys got?

I had one of those in the '70s, when I was living in a place surrounded by treeless arctic tundra. Very durable and great on gas. I was by no means an expert mechanic, but I had the engine on the kitchen table for a week or so and managed to replace some major part in the gear box with no manual or instructions.

I bought a 50cc Yamaha Zuma two years ago, and it's great for exploring the back roads in my neighbourhood. Vehicle registration is only $30, and no special license required. My regular Class 5 license is enough. Very quiet running, so I can sneak up on wildlife and birds.

Mine is still a work in progress. The progress has been put on hold because of our first kiddo haha. 1980 Honda cm400t. It was pretty rough when I got it. Have done a good bit of work too it already. It currently resides at a friends house but hoping to move it back to my house soon.

My brother and I had a Yamaha 70cc Mini-Enduro in the early 1970's. I was 12-13. Great bike and really felt like scaled down motorcycle. Lots of fun on this one.
