Hadn't ridden in 20+ years, Told my ex I wanted a Harley and she replied " when you sign the divorce papers you can get one" So, We divorced and I got stuck with a pick up payment, Paid it off on Dec 27th 2013 bought my 2010 Dyna SuperGlide on Jan 8th 2014 :) !!
And yes, I did call her and told her I got it ! LOL

Here is a pic of the S3 after powdercoat and adding bar end mirrors. Much better.

Back in the 70's, dad bought me a Yamaha 90 dirt bike, rode the crap out of it. My first street bike was a 1980 Honda CM-400T put well over 50K on her, before I blew it up running with low oil. Next bike was a Kawasaki 440 belt drive. Probably put near a 100K on her, before I sold her. Now I have a 99 Kawasaki KZ-1000P police bike, and a 2003 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 classic. Just got back from a weekend ride up to Eastern Oklahoma, was planning on going into Arkansas and Missouri, but chickened out due to the weather. Still road about 325 miles on Sat. The KZ is for sale if anyone on here is interested. Needs a title 42, new tires and the carbs cleaned. Was running good when I parked it.

I started late, didn't get my motorcycle license until I wad in my late 20's and it took me a couple years to finally get a motorcycle once I had it. Started out with a pos 81 Yamaha XJ650 that I had for about a year and only kept it running long enough to put about 100 miles on. Sold that off and got a 99 Honda Nighthawk 750. Ride that for a couple years until some dude pulled out in front of me while I was turning and I went down. Took the insurance money from that and my summer bonus and bought my current bike, a 2003 Honda 919. I really enjoy this bike, although I don't ride nearly as much as I should.

I love the 919. One of my dream bikes. Along with a Gen1 Magna V65 like a couple in this thread have posted. And a VMax.

'06 1300 VTX......7k miles. Been mine since it came out of the crate... some Custom Stuff. : )

Front fender is built....rear fender is a Fiberglass Undertaker that i chopped up and modified as soon as it was delivered..lol. Seat pan is custom. You actually sit about 2" down and several back from stock height. Has accutronix forwards, etc..etc. I've painted it twice 'cause i got bored... : )

About to tear it down, paint it black and sell it. So, if you're a tall dude ( This one has ass and leg room to spare!!!) and going to be looking for a nice, well cared for bike in about late june, let me know. : )

I've got a really nice 1998 Fatboy in the classifieds right now. It would make someone a really good ride. Bunches of goodies to go with it. It is a 1998 but its been pampered.

100K+ miles on the street, many on the back tire only, and a lot of dirt miles in my life. Still own:

#40 1978 Husqvarna 250 CR Motocrosser ( Should sell it, getting too old for that stuff )
#41 1976 Husqvarna 250 WR ( Good plunking bike )
#42 1972 Kawasaki 750 three cylinder original crotch rocket. 11.27 quarter mile, front wheel up at 100 any time I wanted in 1972, it is all still there. Just have to remember all the way down is neutral. ( My Adrenalin rush anytime I need it )
#43 1998 1500 Gold Wing ( less miles on it than I would like to talk about ) Have not had the opportunity to ride much the last 3 yrs. Had it out yesterday, really nice.

Wish I still had #1 1949 Gas and go Cushman Hilander or #3 1953 Cushman Eagle or #6 1964 Triumph Bonneville or Hell, all of them, --- well except for the #2 Vespa and the #14 ratass Suzuki water buffalo turd that a jackass made me such a good deal on I could not pass it up. Rode it about 40 miles and turned it for a $200 profit. Really good deal, to get rid of it.

What would I like to have -- BossHoss 350. Just to burn out, then go park it to recover.

One thing nice about getting old is that you do not have to push quite as far to get all you can stand.

2 beautiful Huskys and a Widowmaker?? I would love to check those out!

I have a '76 CB750 that's completely custom and a '72 CL350 that almost completely stock
