Any Motorcycle Riders Here?
 

I ride a '94 Harley Davidson FLSTN Heritage Softail Nostalgia. Lots of $$$ put into this bike. My dad bought it new in '94. He left it to me after he passed 3 years ago. It was bone stock then, but after about $7k of upgrades, it is now the way you see it below.

Any other 928 guys/gals riding? Post some pics!!!

Yep - I use mine to commute most days...

I had a Ducati S4 , its sold
Also a BMW BIG Ugly, It has street tires and Ohlins I converted this B4 super motard was a bike you could buy at the dealer.
Here at the Miller Motorsports track day, I did grind down both of the cylinder head guards

Merlin, NICE DUC !!!

Here are a few pics of our previous Blue Ridge Parkway Screamers, my VTR1000 SuperHawk and Jeannie's Hawk GT. Loved that V-Twin Torque, always reminded me of a 928.

I have had several small bikes over the years, now have an '84 Kawasaki 440. I have a nice Sportster for sale...

I've ridden most of my life, worked my way up to a brand new 2002 Harley Road King then started selling and buying faster and faster bikes until I ended up with a Kawasaki ZZR 1200 and as I approached my 48th birthday I realized I was driving like a teenager again, trying to drag my knee at speeds that would get you arrested on any road except the autobahn...so I sold it and bought the 928. Now I drag my imagination around those same sweepers wrapped in steel and aluminum.

I miss the open air two wheel feeling but I think I'll live longer this way.

Started with British bikes in the 60's (BSA 441 Victor, Triumph Bonnie 650, Norton etc.) and have had some type of 2-wheel outlet since. I've had my current fair weather friend for going on 20 years.
It's a 1988 Sportster, well modified. A few years ago, my son and I decided to see if we could break the 100 horse barrier and after a year and a fair amount of $$ we managed to break 90 and decided that was it for now. It's well behaved and just a blast. Like my shark, I can't imagine being without it.

used to have a 90 zx-6, now ive got an 01 xt225. this pic is a few years old when i first learned how to wheelie
