Here's a few from my recent day at the track.

very nice!

New seat.......makes the color pop!

awesome pics Bryan!... looks like you had a lot of fun. Your bike skills improve any?

Joel... awesome. I wouldn't expect anything less from you. Reminds sorta of the color of your old '88.

------------------
<---- did you buy Cliff a beer?

Yeah, I'd say they improved! ...with a little help from track day instructors like Ricky Parker!

85% of the vehicles I have owned are that color.....(cept that one pesky blue one.... )

Nice VALK Phonedog.

I have gotten more toys since this thread last surfaced

81 suzuki GS650E



I got no good pictures of them, but there is also a 79 Suzuki GS1000L and two little Honda 350s, a 71 and a 73. One is getting a bigger fuel tank but mostly stock, the other is going to get a cafe racer look

What I'm hoping it will look something like when I'm done:

Thank you!

Its a little bit of a beast. The sound is like no other.

This bike got around like a 2 dollar hooker between freinds.

My first motorcycle: 1970 Yamaha AT1b 125 Enduro

My first road bike was an 1980 Yamaha XJ650 Maxim. My Dad bought it new and I remember riding on it with him when I was young. The bike was stored from 1988 to 2006 when I started trying to get it to run again. I got it close and a shop got it the rest of the way. It was fun surprising my Dad one afternoon with a running bike. It's not quite as pretty now as in the picture below but it runs great. I still have it but may give it to a family member to clear out some space.


The XJ didn't have enough power or style so I started pining after an upgrade. I gravitated towards the Power Cruisers and the obvious choice was a Yamaha Roadstar Warrior. Aluminum frame, inverted R1-style forks, and a 1700 cc V-twin.


I bought it used last November. It came with some upgrades and I've added some more, including: Big Air kit, Vance & Hines Pro Pipe, Fi2000 fuel module, integrated turn signals into rear brake light, Yamaha Mini (floor) Boards, and Avon Storm Ultra 2 tires (nice and sticky). It's pretty damn fast. Lots of fun in the corners too.

I loved the XB9/12R's.... I really hope that in a few years Erik Buell Racing gets an affordable production bike out. The new one he just came out with is an absolute monster, but it is too many dollars for me... I love that he managed to come back without Harley weighing him down.

If I wasn't so broke I would be all over that goldwing... :/

I still have my Kawi 750 Turbo, but it's been one year (April 4th) since I last got off of a motorcycle, and that wasn't intentional. I'd still like to painfully remove certain parts of the anatomy of the filthy bastards who stole my ZX-10R from the accident scene.

I started up the 750 Turbo the other day. I'm going to have to try to get it out for a short ride soon (it needs lots of work so I can't safely go over 40mph or so).

------------------

'88 Fiero GT - Project MIDTRBO
'10 Camaro LT/RS - daily driver
'96 Talon TSi AWD - 11-second winter beater
There's no replacement for turbo placement

I have now own three motorcycles...Harley heritage springer,Triumph Sprint 955 and my newest edition is this Goldwing.

Thought I'd bring this up from the near-dead. My bike is famous (lol), I painted it last year and the paint manufacturer actually tracked me down and asked me if they could post pictures on their website:

First candy (3 stage) I've ever done, it was a PITA, probably won't do one again.

Unfortunately, cagers are blind to this color as well...

Is that new engine everything I imagine it is...?

quote Originally posted by JazzMan: ...Unfortunately, cagers are blind to this color as well...

Heck, Jazz... They're doing well to see other cars. Nevermind a bike.
Which is precisely why I don't ride any more.
Maybe if I lived/commuted somewhere besides Atlanta...

Sorry to add that air of "bummerness" to the thread.

Here is my Goldwing that is in the restoration process,will post pictures when I am done with it in a week or so. It runs and drives like a dream.



I forgot I posted this bike awhile back. It's come along way since that pic. will show it at a later date.

Hehe...just remembered I took this one on a fairly decent day back in Feb:

My 2005 KX250F

My first streetbike, a 2006 50th anniversary edition R1, 8500 miles on it so far.

Forgot all about this thread. This is one of the reasons I haven't been around much this summer.



I have since removed the pillion seat and backrest. I love the solo look. It's an '07 Kawasaki Nomad.

Here's mine. Yamaha Silverado

My current project: '99 Thunderbolt
I am slowly bringing back this "diamond in the rough"



I rebuilt the forks and front caliper, and am installing new wheel bearings.

A couple shots of my latest project...





My first build...

Today was the first chance I have had to really ride the Thunderbolt since I bought it. I LOVE this bike!

Down for the winter. I have big plans for it.

Riding season is back, so here's a fresh picture. Anyone else back on the road?

Yep, been riding for most of March, closing in on 1k miles already this year

Here's a few pics from a trip to the old Packard plant in Detroit a couple weeks ago:
