Are there any bikers out there ??? (page 2)

Darth Yhwy - If it's an 87 I'm guessing it is a 1200 ? I was thinking of upgrading to one of those awhile back - I had an 1100 Interstate, but came across my current bike and it was too good to miss.

I had my wedding procession led by two Wineberry GL1100's - caused quite a lot of interest as we drove by..

Lehaa - I hired a Suzuki SV1000S for about 7 weeks while my wing was being repaired... What a bike !!! It was so much fun to ride... but it had to go.. before I lost my license or my life !! Temptation to play on it was just too great.....! In the name of experimentation I did see what the net effect of suddenly sitting upright from a prone position was at 135mph.... all I can say is that if it wasn't for all those years of self abuse, there would be no way I could have held on!! Masturbation save my life !!!

Chuckler - The 1200 bandit is an awesome machine - quite a few people I know own them. I also like the look of the GSX1400 - I wanted to test ride one before I bought my wing, but the guys at the shop said "it's not test ride season any more" - so i walked out and bought something else instead. According to the blurb re the bike show, you can test ride one !!! I know where I'm going this weekend !!!

Bull!

Here's my mechanical baby...! http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/file/9C7D5430-882C-4857-A932-F585FCFE463D.ashx

I quit!

I gave up bikes when I became a JW. Over the years I have thought about getting another bike but have never got around to it. One of my friend who is an exdub has a Harley and goes on the ride to Laughlin, NV every year. My wife's cousin is an elder and is really into the Harley thing. I always thought this is a bit unusual was a witness but I guess it means there is hope for him.

I quit!

"I was 19 or 20 when this was taken." I'll bet you wish you still had that bike Gary. It would be a classic. Speaking of classics when I was a kid I had a guy ask me to trade my dirt bike for his 57 Chevy 2 door hardtop and we did. I wish I still had the car.

I'll bet you wish you still had that bike Gary.That was a '48 panhead springer. The first year for the panhead and the last year for the springer. I rode it 7,000 miles the first summer I had it. I had several classics in my life. I had a 1950 Ford convertible and a black 1959 Cadillac too. I appreciated them while I had them. I have the pictures:-)

I have a Yamaha R6, hence the name r6laser. I bought it back when I was still attending the KH and there was no uproar from anyone. I'm thinking most here play it up too much.

Hi R6Laser

I'm thinking most here play it up too much.

You must have come from a progressive, or predominantly young congregation. I was never told outright "you shouldn't have that bike", but there were alot of snide comments from older ones when I was around, quiet conversations that suddenly raised loud enough to hear, about rebellion, and taking risks etc. I had a few wry comments about my riding style too, although none of them had ever been on a bike with me, so didn't know exactly how it felt or looked first hand !

What do you think to your R6 - I'm told they're not very forgiving - you have to be a good rider to be able to get the most out of them cos of how highly tuned they are.. ?

Brits seem to have a real love affair with sports bikes - while I like them, unfortunately I'm not built to ride one, if you get what I mean ! So, I tend to go for the big tourers, and the low riders - would absolutely love a harley Fatboy or V-Rod Anniversary Edition

Bull!

Are there any bikers out there ???
