Ha Ha, I figure if I wait around long enough, you'll be asking me to take your new Z50 for a ride.

Seriously dude, don't you ever miss having the big cube bike? LOL.

Yes, I'd love to take the KTM for a spin. The last time I was on a 125 was in 8th grade. Remember the last CR 125 with that big 23" front wheel and the disposable rear shocks (yes back when they had two)?

I ride a 2003 Ultra Classic which does not get out as much as the 928.

Will be picking this up on Thursday, but keep it quiet - the wife doesn't know yet.

Probably a reposted pic, but this was my old family: CR500's and my old RC51.

I got a smokin' deal on some guys nearly new WDK-USFO* several years ago.

I've heard great things about the Triumph Triple....scared to actually ride one.. Scared because more than one person has ridden one (without any intent of buying one)..and ended up signing on the dotted line...

shameless repost of my bike pics

That's the best way to get a car or motorcycle, IMHO.

Speed Triples rule!

Torque like a twin, top end like an inline four. Howl like a banshee. What's not to love?

I'm jealous.

OK, somehow I managed to break the news to her last night w/o her raising a ruckus. She probably just decided I was hopeless and is preparing the divorce papers.

Congrats, Bill. Georgeous bike. I had a Bonniville decades ago and it was the only street bike I've owned that I could ride down the hiway at 65 and hang a right out across the desert without slowing down.

Triumph Bonneville T100

Here is my latest addition - a Triumph Speedmaster. It's very similar to the Bonneville. Not a speed demon (despite the name), but still a very nice ride.

The boy likes it too...
