    I'm more of a bike guy than a car guy, but I'm working at getting back into cars. I'm a member of the jockey journal also.[​IMG]

    These are/were mine. I sold the race bike a while ago to fund my business. But it was fun. I ran 192 MPH on it in the quarter. My ZRX1200 is far from the fastest street bike I've owned, but I have to say it is a bunch of fun also.

    Haven't actually ridden for a long time, but still have two fully dressed 1975 Honda Gold Wings (first year models) in storage. Have thought about selling one or both, but then I always back out when I look at the current new bike prices. Guess I an just an antique kind of guy:D.

    Used to have a Kaw H1 (500) and an H2 (750) and a 73 Z1 and a Sportster before getting the Wings. Than later I got a BMW R90S. Sold all except the Wings. Sometimes I wish I hadn't, especially the R90, but can't keep everything and stay happily married too.:eek::D

    It's a one year only 1990 750 sport, with 900ss USD forks and 17" rims with Michelin Pilot Power Sports. I big fan of twins, but they have to be fast and handle well. I roadraced 2 strokes through the 80's and Ducatis through the 90's. Light and nimble with a very nice torque curve....
     
  15. Dave. Yep......I bought the Intruder from a girl. Do you like the gay teal paint ? :)

    The 'Wing ? It's loaded with accessories for touring plus a ton of catalog dress-up junk. Not the smartest thing I ever did.

    I ride a 03 VTX1300s.36000 miles and counting.I was gonna ride to CA and out west last year but i used the money to buy my coupe.I still want to ride out west again.[​IMG]
     
  27. Here's mine. Everyone likes the Whizzer. If you don't like the other one, that's OK. I've been on two wheels for 45 years and don't owe anyone any apologies for my choice of rides. Done quite a bit of work on it. Pulled the original automatic and installed a manual two speed. Getting the Chev clutch to pull with a hand lever was a bitch. It puts a big ol' grin on my face each time I take it out:D
    I've got a Goldwing project also, GL1100. It's been sitting for a while so I dunno if it's worth the time or $$$$ to get it going again. It's in such nice shape it seems worth it.

  29. those old stripped Wings were pretty fast.
     
  30. I've been riding since 1968. I've had a 69 Honda 175 scrambler,
    1977 Honda 750 F2, 1980 GS 1100E(still have it). And a Yamaha Royale 1200 dresser.
    Ridden tons of other bikes and spent quite a bit of time on my buddies Harleys. Looking to get a Dyna Fat Bob sometime in the future.
