Here are my 2 Babies.

The black one is a 2007 Yamaha Warrior Midnight. She looks a bit different now. The water heater is gone and she's wearing a set of small sized saddle bags, T-Bars and Cobra LowBoy Shotgun pipes.

The Blue & White one is a 2002 Suzuki GSXR 1000. Had her since new and after many many miles and LOTS of tire changes later...She still looks good!


Let's see all the bikes out there! I KNOW I'm not the only one! hehe

I'm a big fan of cruiser bikes.

Owned a CX500 at one time and also a sport bike.
Guess which one I ended up crashing the most.

My last bike was real fast CR125 which I sold last year, wish I didn't.
I think I've owned at least 12 different motorcycles.

I really like that Yamaha looks real good.

Here's my scooter. It's a 2000 Kawasaki ZRX1100...... A later day Eddie Lawson Replica.

Thanks Joe!

Peak, I LOVE your bike!!! I was in the market for one fo those when I bought my Warrior, but there wasn't any to be had in my area for a reasonable price. I used to have a '78 Z1-R Lawson Replica that I built about 10 years back. GREAT bike! They just don't make em like the any more.

I somehow find that a little hard to believe, Stephanie, would you marry me?  Oh, wait, never mind, I think my wife would probably object :-).  No pics at the moment, but I have a (currently dead) 1980 Yamaha 750 Virago in my shop.  Made the mistake of leaving it with one of my sisters, she was going to learn to ride and keep it in her garage.  It ended up spending 6 or 7 years parked next to a laurel hedge in the Seattle area :-(.  Custom leather seat pretty much disintegrated, and it won't start.  Other things have gotten in the way of getting it back on the road, but with gas prices being what they are, it's now officially on my winter project list :-).  Owned a fair number of other bikes over the years, but my favorite has to have been my chopped '71 750 Honda.  Love that in line 4!  Later.

Stephanie that is a excellent riding area that you just mentioned . My current ride is a 2005 Honda Saber 1000 that taken me to Alaska and back . The bike before it was a 1994 1000 Honda Shadow that clocked a 164,000 on it with out ever having and engine work on it but a clutch at about 110,000 . Yes it was very tired when I retired it . But it served me well . I toured very state west of the Mississippi river and Canada once on it. Marvin

Here are a few bikes that J has owned or still owns. I have enjoyed riding the drifter with J.
 I never rode the Kawasaki but my sons have it really went fast. I have driven K100 dirt bike

Stephanie,Batgirl never showed who she was to the public,I would never ask you to show yourself(besides I have spoke with you a few times & have already put a face to the voice) I was suggesting wearing a  Batgirl  costume & still keep your secret safe :o  :p  :)  :D

Hey Peak, I have the 25 year old Honda version..CB1100F. It's  still cherry with the chrome Kerker 4 into 1 pipe. Great lookin scooters everyone.

: Michael October 08, 2008, 05:42:16 PM
Okay, I'm a little late getting here....My garage is starting to thin out a bit. No pictures but I have a 2000 Honda Magna for commuting or just putting around on and a 2002 Kawasaki zrx 1200 for riding. Down to a Honda xr400 for off road. Peakchick, nice rex. Never ridden the 1100 but have heard they are more peppy than the 1200. Definately more possibilites for motor mods since the zx11 internals are the same.
There is a real good site for the zrx....ZRXOA.ORG......worth a look.
     Nice bikes, all of them. Remember it's not what you ride, it's that you ride. Kinda like air guns, they are all fun.

Michael - 10/9/2008  1:42 AM Remember it's not what you ride, it's that you ride





OK



Since you said that I might as well give you all a chuckle from my newest ride.



I'll be using this to get to work since it's only 5 minutes down the street.



And just so you all lose your morning coffee, I'll me wearing my MX helmet complete with goggles.

Peter, my Kawi is a stock ZRX1100, with the exception of the D & D pipe and Lockhart wind screen. A RE5 huh? I never rode one of them, but have seen a couple...has been awhile.
: Re: For those of the Two Wheeled persuasion....
: PeakChick October 08, 2008, 10:50:26 PM
Joe is that an old Honda Express? It's been awhile since I've seen one of those? I'll bet no one is laughing when you leave the gas pump after having spent all of $3.00!   :D

Yes it is.





Believe it or not I got laughed at by some kids for riding it with a MX helmet, I just yelled back.



"Hey you're the ones walking"....LOL



Great on gas, very reliable and parts are cheap if I ever need em'

IKNOW THIS IS GUNNA HURT SOME OF YA, BUT I almost killed the wife and I on a poker run a few years back, car ran stop sign and i was able to keep her on the rubber, but freiked us both out,  so I just parked her.. The dust is thick now..  She runs great but it just aint fun no more...
: Randall ???????????????????
: melloroadman October 09, 2008, 12:25:22 PM
Randall I want to say something to you because you have kept your bike . But first I want to say I am in no way putting you down or saying Iam a better man than you . I have ridden most of my life and logged a lot of miles and had about 5 or 6 major accidents on my bikes . Only 2 of them were my fault . I have shattered my right cheek , left wrist , re fractured my left wrist , and shattered a right ankle ancl that's not to mention the minor injures that occurred in these accidents . The major bone shatters happened at different times as well . Every time I got scraped up off the asphalt and was doing my bed time I would thank God I was still alive and I would ask my self . If this would have happened in a car wreck would I give up driving or ridings in a car . And the answer was always the same No. So as soon as I could I got back on the bike and learned to enjoy the  riding experience again . Deep down inside you there is a reason why you did not sell that bike and I don't think it is because you think it will make you money setting in storage . Marvin

When I was much younger a good friend and myself would ride in the dirt every weekend. We road accross the desert and put many miles on the several bikes we had worn out..:) Both of us would have spills. We lost allot of pride as well asskin many times...:) Would always manage to pack up and head home. So my good friend decided to buy a street bike. He rode his new Triumph for about a year. One day I went by his house after work and noticed his bike covered up. That was strange and asked him why. He told me that he was going to work and someone had spilled gas or oil on the corner of a main intersection where he would make his turn every morning. He did not see it and down he went. He got a few buggers and some road rash from it. Sfter that he said he was much safer riding in the dirt and not on the asphalt. So my point is some of us who love to ride can have one bad experience and something clicks. Next thing you know you change your attitude about things. I rode on the asphalt about two years but never had a spill. After a major back injury I felt that if I wanted walk the rest of my life that I would stay off of bikes and high places...:) Gene
: RE: For those of the Two Wheeled persuasion....
: JOHNNY QUEST October 09, 2008, 12:53:02 PM
Marvin your right... I have had a motorcycle license since i was 17.  50 now.. I to have had my share of spills from the motocross and he enduro's and the trials bikes that i rode my whole life...  Ya have to take into account that I live in the 4th largest city in the US.  It aint safe here.. If I had some country roads and mountians it would be fun, but dodgein the Illeagle alians here that don't even read english and can't spell STOP iT GETS A LITTLE SCARY!!! Yes I still have her because I will one day get out of this god forsaken hell hole that i live in and get me some country roads..  Dust and a  little rust are easilly fixed.

 She is 1450 cc's of muscle and still runs great.. I just lost interest and let her get dusty...

This is what I ride.....'cept mine is flat black:

(http://www.gatewaytoairguns.com/airguns/photos/get-photo.asp?photoid=1491)

And no, that is NOT a kids 20" BMX bike, that is an adult 24" BMX bike.  Worked in a bike shop during college and always wanted one of these, so a couple years back I built my son a ramp for Christmas and he asked me if I was gonna jump it.  Of course once I said,"Of course I'm gonna jump it!"  I had to put the proof in the pudding.  So I shopped all around DFW and found a shop about 30 minutes away that had a small collection of 24" bikes and picked this one up.  She's a sweetheart!!!  My son is 13 now and has mostly outgrown his 20" bike so he rides mine more than I do, but every so often I get a little nervy and jump on her:)

I've been riding for close to 20 years now and have had my share of bikes. My favorite was always a 79 CB750F Supersport that I chopped up and turned into a cafe racer. Funnest bike that almost put me in the grave!

: Bhawanna October 10, 2008, 02:03:28 AM
the first one is a 2000 harley custom sportster lowered 2 inches, andrews performance cam, screaming eagle high performance heads, 44mm mikuni carb, v&h drag pipes with shortened baffles and head cones, k&n high flow intake, and a corbin solo seat.  this one is my toy....i mod it out like i do my airguns.  the second one is my real sweetheart.  2003 Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle Deuce FXSTDSEI - 100th Anniversary numbered edition.  only 500 of these bikes were made in the "custom" shop at harley.  mine is is #274.  i don't ride it very often to keep the miles low on this limited edition.  i usually trailer it to bike week to show it off.  hopefully one day my grandchildren can sell it for a mint....or joe will trade his theoben collection for it!..ha!

: joe-joe guns October 22, 2008, 03:35:22 PM
Thanks,Neither Indian is still in stock form both needed complete rebuilds with under 10,000 miles on them.Best looking 20k junk piles I've ever owned.That being said they run flawlessly after the motor work.Some will sat they're not true Indians but my titles say Indian.Although if I knew they would be so much trouble I would have bought vintage ones for the same money.Guess it's kinda like air guns you hope you don't get a lemon when they all stink and you know it.(but it looks so good...lol)
