Thumbs up Motorcycles

So, due to the recent interest and discussions, and so many members coming out about their ownership of some fine antique, classic, and contemporary motorcycles, I thought it would be appropriate to begin a thread just about our bikes. Of course, post pictures and elaborate with your best stories!!!

That V-max looks vicious--and deadly to people named Doug.

Greyson, is that the way that HD was delivered?
Bob, but it's the type R version as indicated by the sticker.
Seriously, how's the quality? How many miles so far?

Just the paint. I but on the ZBars & internally wired them, ditched the stock gauge cluster for an after market, added custom hand controls, lucked out finding the seat as the guy who made them is now disabled, added the air shocks, blacked out almost everything, ditched the turn signals for led wraps and had a bunch of covers & stuff cut with JD emblems. Next I have to put the new rims on add the fork covers and I have a spare set of tins I want to do up with an old school hot rod theme. I figure I can switch the bike up with a whole new look in 1/2 hour.

I can't take credit or making the stuff but I did come up with the ideas an installed everything myself.

It's awesome. I'd need a cruiser though--to stay out of trouble and the ditches.

about the yellow scooter of mine above ...

Actually poncho , that R sticker was put on by the chinese factory , probably thought they looked cool and stole the design . its clearcoated over ...

Quality is iffy , fuel lines were actually vacuume lines that deteriorated with the new gas and killed my carb at around 850 miles , a new one cost only $35 on ebay , the gauge lites are out , the tires are not even round and are nor even rubber , i think they are nylon , slippery on wet and painted surfaces ... still cool to ride ...
I only have 1000k on it now because i feel funny riding a bike i cant insure due to it being registered as a moped . "no medical coverage if crashed" . maybe ill register it as a M\C next year ...

Good info. What is the maker and cost? Had no idea about the medical insurance issue. I foresee a time when Americans are riding these out of necessity. I don't live far from work, but I don't want to peddle there. I'll factor in fuel line and tire upgrades.
