Ok so I was just curious if anybody else in my age group rides. I don't mean horses or atvs. What I mean is 2 wheel motorcycles. Dirt bikes, Harleys, Hondas, you name it if it has 2 wheels then great. Gonna make a pole one for Harleys, other cruisers, dirt bikes or don't ride. If you do ride would love to hear what you ride.

obviously I ride a Harley never rode dirt bikes or such but love just about any bike just more partial to Harleys.

I ride a trike, it's in between a quad and a dirt bike if that counts lol. It's basically a widend dirtbike frame with a quad swingarm on the back of it. A friend of mine has a TR200 Fat Cat though.

 

I was going to put trike since Harley does make trikes now.

Currently my bike is a 73 Harley Davidson XLCH1000 completely built up with custom parts. It was bored over to 1200. Currently it is down but once it is running I will get my liscence and start really ridding.
My dad rides a 07 Heritage softail classic built up also for touring.

We are still trying to decide on getting another bike to build a custom dirt/street Harley.

yamaha dirt bikes with my son and "angel" our 98 Harley Road King Police if it's just me or me and the wife.

nothing better than an hour cruise on a country road to really get me relaxed - 50's and 60's are my perfect riding weather - LOVE fall!

 

Great looking road king man always loved the bigger touring bikes in white.

thank ya, man. Me too - I got a thing for white....I hate washing and polishing!

 

Ya I love white trucks and bigger bikes but our heritage and our Ironhead I don't think would look good in white. The heritage is a light blue pearl color and black middle the paint was only available in 07 for that bike. On the Ironhead it is a custom paint that is mainly gloss black with blue and red insert and purple pinstripe.

Avatar tells you exactly what I ride

 

Recently picked up another bike for me and my brothers to toy around with. It is a Yamaha MX80 1980 or 1981 I forgot. Got it for free but whole motor needs rebuilt and needs a little TLC. It isn't as big as the Harleys but it is something to play around the yard with.

I ride, and I customize. Here's a before and after of my 2007 Honda CRF250R, and then after is my dad's 1978 Kawaski KZ1000 that he bought new. It'll be mine one day.

Very nice Kawasaki. I like your other bikes but the Kawasaki is my favorite.

Oh I'm not talking about on road stuff :lol:

When I said trikes I mean the '80s Honda ATC's. 200X's, 350X's, 250R's, the infamous Big Reds and what not. Fast things I tell yeah. The liquid cooled 250R's will run down Banshees and Raptor 700s.

 

Those things are fine. I personally have never ridden one but I do know they move pretty well.

Also I forgot to mention. We recently got a 1980 Yamaha MX80 trail bike for my brother. Engine needs rebuilt and a few other small things and call it good.

They are definitely a treat to ride; they have spared in popularity lately. They just take time to learn how to ride properly.

 

Usually I can ride just about anything after a couple of tries and watching somebody watch ride it first.

The first thing I ever road was a newer honda quad 2 stroke and I think it was a 700 with a bunch of go fast goodies and the first time I gave it to much throttle and the bike came out from under me. The next time I was able to get it right and I was doing rear wheel stands with it. LOL That quad was the 2nd fastest thing I ever road where I was driving. My buddies Honda CR250 2 stroke with a bunch of go fast goodies was way faster!

Now the fastest I have ever been on a bike is a 09 Fat Bob Harley and it was going about 120 half throttle. If we still had it and I could bring it to a drag strip I bet the full would be even cooler!
