Picking up this baby Thursday.

I rode a '76 Wing for many years. Same colour!! 1000cc and 61 blistering horsepower. I rode it back and forth to work in a three piece suit.
The guy I sold it to is still riding it.
This is my last bike I got rid of.
This is my wife's last bike. Cue the jokes.

She must be a great motorcycle mechanic...otherwise she'd never keep it running.
There's a reason for the old biker saying "I'd rather push my Harley than ride a rice burner."
I haven't had a bike since the dark ages.
These are the last two I built

Whoa, dude. Are those both hard tails, and what's the fork rake on the first one?
I like the Z bars on the second one, but the first one needs some bigger ape hangers instead of the high Z bars.
I never was around hard core bikers...really I wasn't...really.
Both of my Harleys have been good bikes.
Even the one with AMF on it.

I'll tell you this- it was in museum quality when she sold it.
'72 Shovel in a '51 Panhead frame. It sits covered in the garage with a blown motor. Been that way for the last 4 years unfortunately.
One day I'll get me Panhead motor and take the Shovel and put it back into this:
…or not, and buy myself a new stock bagger and never think to myself, gee I hope this thing starts.

Quit years ago when the potholes got bigger. Michigan roads are awful! Third world.
I want one of these...
Here is my more affordable answer...although I would love to own an Indian.

Bike #3 - 2005 Kawasaki 1600 Classic
Bike #4 - 2002 HD Electraglide Standard

Nice looking bike.
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?
Love those vintage Kaws! I miss my KZ1000 dearly...or any bike for that matter. Had kids late in life and was “convinced” to sell my last bike 4 years ago. Here she is, king of beasts. 2053cc’s and longer than my old Road King.
I had my share of Metric bikes, current is a 2005 HD Deuce, had it for a few years now, but the old lady is enjoying two up rides, so within the next few years I'll start looking for a bigger two seater, not sure what yet.
Some truly awesome machines! Art.

Here's my current ride; it's a 2015 Honda CTX 750.
My previous rides were a Kawasaki Vulcan 500 and a Honda Shadow Spirit 750. I mostly just ride around town so have never wanted anything bigger, but the new Goldwing is awfully nice.

I took my little scooter (50 cc Yamaha Zuma) out for a short ride around town yesterday, for the first time this year.
I was thinking "Crap, now I gotta memorize all the new pothole locations!"
