Pictures of Your Motorcycles

Ugh. I just made a long nice thread.
The phone bugged or my fat thumbs stike again.
Lost the nice body of text.
Post motorcycle photos
Here are some to kick off

I'll play. Starting with my current stable:

2014 BMW K1600GT

2018 Kawasaki Ninja 1000

2018 Triumph Street Triple 765R

Don't really play in the dirt all that much but do have them when the mood strikes.

I have never been a dirt bike person.
You should see the faces of folks when i explain 80 around a twisty feels safer than 40 on a trail.

That's pretty much how I feel. I've been road riding since the '80s, but just I got into dirtbikes a few years ago. There is a local group here that does a "Mextrek" from McAllen, TX down into the Monterey mountains. Seemed like a barrel of fun, so I wanted to give it a try. Just as I was gearing up for it, COVID hit... and I've pretty much given up on it. Instead, I only occasionally go with my oldest to tear up the local construction sites, where they are building new subdivisions. I'm probably gonna give up on dirt at some point. Falling off is kinda a given, and I don't heal as well/quick as I used to.

Kawasaki C14 and a Honda SuperHawk, the SuperHawk gets no love these days, I hurt too much after a ride

The Yami is long gone...

I had a 2014 Trophy SE. One of my all time favorite big sport tourers.



Also had a 2011 Sprint GT, which was a sportier ST and an improvement over the '09 Spring ST I had previously.

A lot of riders would kill for a Superhawk, even now.

Is that Yami the XJ600 Seca II? I had a '92... bar none the worst bike I've ever owned.

The C14 has a lovely engine, but the package around it I never made friends with. This was the day I traded the '09 Sprint ST for an '08 C14, which I sold a year later.

Yes, funny! Good call, it was a good bike to train a couple friends on. Only problem I had was the kickstand switch was a bit flaky.

Yeah, the C14 is a big girl, but she can dance real well once she gets going!

Mine was reliable, but the air-cooled 600 was underpowered and very cold-blooded. I had an XJ650 and an XJ700, both '80s power cruisers that had good power and carbureted well. A bit of choke on a cold morning and off I went. Not so the Seca II. Plus it had a headshake at certain speeds (35-50mph?) if I let go of the handlebar. Not at all unstable otherwise, but unsettling nonetheless. Especially since the budget suspension was supposed to be beginner friendly. Loved the styling though.

From another lifetime. Fz1 set up for touring, corbin seat, throttle meisters, bmw grips, michelin tires, 2bro's exhaust (loud pipes save lives!), gps, radar detector. That second bag doubled as a back rest.

Pic from Shanondoah national park, somewhere after BRP ends.

Found one of connie... (kaw concours 1400). This is somewhere in iowa (I think). Also in a past lifetime. The bike behind is my buddy's hyabusa set up for touring.
