I LOVE that ride! Once when I was there, I enjoyed a chat with a Park Ranger who told me that some city folks asked him WHERE they keep the animals at NIGHT! LOL.

Those crazy Europeans.

Yeah I love it. Bike-camped for a week down there... most memorable trip I've had so far. Saw deer and black bears just strolling through the wayside stops. Pretty cool.

Already been done.

You mean to tell me they DON’T lock up the animals at night???? LOL

Seriously, Though, it is my favorite long distance ride. Rout 55 through West VA is lovely too, though last time i went there was construction that ruined it.

I don’t have one myself, but since they cost like $40,000 (twenty years ago, not sure about today) I’d say very carefully.

Can you guess where my picture was taken?

[Disambiguator]

LOL

They weren’t feet-forward in TRON, though.

TRON 2 lightcycle

Scary was the proper term, but I’m still waiting for the rest of the pic’s to load.

[Squawk 8888]

I like the Italian Army Vespa...

[Tainan]

Thats one fine looking garage.

[smokingfrog]

Looks like a suicide mission to me.

It's not unusual, but it's mine and it purrs like a kitten

Prefer the rockin’ chair situation, with my legs stretched out, rather than bound up like Willie Shoemaker.

Something for everyone...

Prefer the rockin’ chair situation, with my legs stretched out, rather than bound up like Willie Shoemaker.

I understand that sentiment; I hear it all the time. Actually, I used to own a "rockin' chair" cruiser motorcycle and put 12,000 miles on that bike before realizing the ergonomics with my legs splayed out in front of me sucked and was horribly uncomfortable for long rides.

Not all sportbikes are cramped torture devices. Mine is not the typical miniature 600 or 1000cc track rack that everyone thinks of when they see aggressive-looking full bodywork. It's actually a huge motorcycle - if I park next to a Fat Boy or a Road King, my bike makes the HD look like a shiny child's toy.

It's actually got alot of leg room. I'm 6'1", 200# and I rode this bike 1024 miles in 17-1/2 hours on an Iron Butt SS1000 ride, with no discomfort whatsoever. In fact, the bike would be a real bitch to ride if you were not tall and long-legged because the seat is so high.

And I'm not even discussing the indisputable advantage in handling and road feel that these kind of ergonomics gets you.

Not trying to start an argument - just setting the record straight that a cruiser's splayed-leg lay-z-boy pose should not be assumed to be the most comfortable or practical just because it resembles a piece of living room furniture, and not every sportbike requires a jocky rider.

Have you ever ridden a large sport-touring bike any distance?

Hope you like the frame. Depending on when you bought it, I may have helped build it. I did R&D for Midwest Motorcycle for a couple of years. Last year they sent our jobs to China. When I took over the fixturing needed
some tuning, if yours is older the motor mounts and fender brackets may have been a touch off. I did most of the design work on their Bobber frame. They cheapened up my design before production, so I really don't claim it. I did
make one off just like I wanted before they closed us down,
tho. It will get a Shovel put in it and a girder front when
I can get some income again. You built a great looking bike.
I saw so much overdone stuff as part of my job that it's
nice to see one tastefully done.

Long live the FXR . . .
