Just a few minor mods... High carbon fiber cans, jet kit, and an open top K&N air filter. On the highway, I can't hear the exhaust over the intake "honk!" And at WFO, it sounds like a NASCAR V8!

I haven't got it yet, but this
is identical what I am expecting to arrive in the next couple of weeks.
I know that it's a serious step down from what I *used* to ride (KZ1100, CB750F), but for to and from work, I don't need any more. It's also been 10 years since I straddled a 2 wheeler, so I figured it's best to re-start low and slow.

Those Helixes are automatics, right? No dealing with shifting while balancing while turning.

I ride a 1994 FSLTN Nostalgia that is tricked out to the max with chrome. I'd post a picture but I am too computer illiterate to do so.

Nope... Switched it off at half-time.
I'll listen to the post mortum in the morning on the radio.

My V-Max, here in the UK. It's a 1991 USA import, so full power.
Laser Race can, one off stainless downpipes (headers to you), slab yokes, digital speedo, 6 pot harrison calipers all round, GSXR 750 17" wheels and it has stage 3 fitted. I usually ride it as a single seat, but don't have any pictures in that set up.

Myself and Old Red (1994 Wing)
Unlike the Goldwing, I do not continue to look brand new.

That's her. I got Samson Longshots on mine and added Willie and Max saddlebags along with a windshield.

1993 Suzuki GS500 parallel twin with 13K miles on it, 1K of them mine. It's red with pink (argh) stripes and white wheels - looks like something Barbie would keep in the garage of the Dream House (or maybe girly-man Ken is riding it, I dunno). Bought it used, so no choice of color!
Here's a pic:

Here's me and my bad helmet-hair on it:

No mods on it yet, just some repairs this summer (new front tire, brake pads, chain and both sprockets). But I'm planning on a fork rebuild with new springs and a new rear shock for next year, the suspension on these is mushy when stock and even worse when stock and old.
It's a great starter bike, enough power but not scary. It unfortunately sounds like an angry farm tractor.

I showed you mine, now show me yours.
This is the one that changed my whole perspective of motorcycles in general and Harleys in particular; the myth buster:

Here's my ride. Ducati Monster 620 Dark. When it finally decides to buck me off, look high 'cause I'll be in the top of the trees with both boots off.

Someone named Poser displays the most impressive stable of them all. Heh.

Physically, the all steel body is identical to the old Vespa PX150 (which they are making again because of demand for retro cycles). One weekend I saw a riding club of about 20 Vespas buzz out of the hills near my house. They must really be coming back.
