Are you a motorcycle rider too?

Currently, I have a 2000 BMW 1100RT.
I had an '06 HD Electra Glide Standard. Sold it to try a sport touring bike. I like the 1100RT better for the moment. Loved the Harley, just wanted to try something different. Wish I could have kept them both......there's room.

I'm rebuilding a 1980 Yamaha XS 650 currently, hopefully it will be ridable by may.

I ride a 1999 BMW R1100R. I have it in graphite grey, the same color as my 2013 OB. Its a blast to ride, but riding in the suburbs is aggravating. My day trips are usually going to Wisconsin or western Illinois.

I started out on a Honda CX500, moved up to a GL1100, GL1500 and now have a 2005 GL1800. My wife started riding her own bike two years ago on a 750 Shadow, and she now owns a Yamaha Vstar 1100. We took a trip to Hershey, PA for a week as our annual bike vacation. I ride from April to Thanksgiving and live in Dayton, OH.

Went out driving around with the trailer this morning, and one of these d@mn things followed me home! Well Merry Xmas to me. Got'r semi farkled already. Now I just need to get'r dirty.



2012 Triumph Tiger 800XC. Still have the 2009 Suzuki V-Strom 650 and 2002 Suzuki DRZ400E, will probably give the Strom to my dad so he's got something to ride in the dirt with me when I visit.

Always have had bikes, mostly Japanese ones. ZRX1200s were the last of my fast ones. Right now I have a Suzuki DR650SE and my first Harley Davidson. It's a 07 Road King with a few mods to her.

Well played, sir...a very Merry Christmas to ME! Oddly enough, we've both had the same "problem" recently...not only did the 13OBW follow me home the beginning of the month, but this wayward Porsche 914 latched onto my leg last fall and would NOT let go til I got into my garage. Damndest thing.

I've had an affinity for Triumphs (having had a couple myself), and looked long and hard at the Tiger. Came down to most of my riding being commuting-style and the fact that my wife said she wouldn't feel comfortable on something like that. So back to my roots another HD, a Firefighter's Special that I've got as a tribute to my dad and brother. Bike shot is pre-farkle, and I'm hijacking my own thread with a car pic, yup!

May you all ride safely in 2013 and beware The Pink Cell Phones. They're out to get us...

I do most of my riding off road. I bought a Suzuki Vstrom for my longer distance touring stuff, but I just didnt like it off road. So I started shopping around and narrowed it down to the tiger, f800gs, and the 990 adventure. The 990 has a great suspension, great motor, but it's just too big for the riding I want to do. The BMW was not going to be comfortable on those longer days, and the motor left a lot to be desired. After one ride on the tiger, the triple made me fall in love, and I know a few guys with the bikes, and they all love them. Just waiting for it to warm up enough here to ride it a bit. Maybe I can get it broken in before the riding season really cranks up.

Yep
I enjoy riding. My subi gets about 8k miles a year and my bikes get about 30k

[treeman1899]

'09 Kawi KLR 650, 41K since rescue from showroom floor. Bike #4 for me but first in 22 years lol. Used year round for town commutes if weather is reasonable. Summer road trips are great, latest excursion was a 2400 mile round trip to the Grand Canyon
