Tell Me About Your Ride

Yesterday, I inadvertantly hijacked a Bible Thread in the Religion Forum to talk about my Motorcycle. Since I started riding in late Autumn of 1972, next year will mark my 50th Anniversary on two wheels. At the time, women were not as avid bikers as they are today. My Present Bike is pictured above, and is a 93FXR in "Sapphire Blue". I bought it at Hampton Roads Harley Davidson on the way home from attending Rolling Thunder. I traded in my Sportster and did the 700 mile ride home on that beautiful bike. From the VIN, we have ascertained that she was born in the York, PA Plant sometime in June 1992, so next year, "Blue" will be thirty. Blue and I have done 8 Rolling Thunder Rallies together, one Daytona, Blue Ridge Parkway, The Colonial Triangle, Laconia and the Kangamangus Highway, Alligator Alley and Florida's Gulf Coast, The Florida Keys, I95 the whole way, and the Appalachians in West Virginia (Monongahela State Forest and Blackwater Falls). We have gone through Hurricanes, Tornadoes, and Flash Floods together. I'm posting this thread so we can share our stories without having to hijack a Bible Thread LOL!

Let Me hear From You.

But he DID rise in Triumph.

And in Him we have the Victory.

Not to mention He was “David’s Son”.

1988 ford f250 xlt extended cab with the fuel efficient fuel injected 460 cubic inch v8... 😁...

I have a '95 F350 Crew Cab Long Bed with the same engine. I would like to mod it in the interest of improving fuel economy, and I just want to hear more of the big block sound.

The “electricals” are often the hardest thing to fix.

Ah...a 1941 Flathead. I saw one of those in the Army Transportation Museum in Virginia.

A real Warhorse.

Nice! Do you still have it?

I have never had a two-stoke. Do you have to fuel it differently than a four-stroke?

I come from a F250 family...both my brothers have them. :-)

Indeed. My little brother’s Sporty is very “torque-y”. I know what you are saying.

Yes...the 70’s were the heyday of Triumphs, BSA’s, Nortons, and the other Brit Bikes.

I actually saw a Royal Enfield with a sidecar on the road last month! (TWICE!)

1972...that’s the year I started riding.

I think Blue and I are going to roll through the pearly Gates together, if you catch my drift.
