Motorcycle Riders?

[Dan_Frisbie]

Just curious how many riders we have here and what you ride.
I ride an Indian Roadmaster, my fiancé rides and Indian Chief Bobber. Instead of a TOAD, we haul a 14’ box trailer with both bikes, tools, and paddle boards with us. A lot of our travels are to bike meets and rallies, in particular the two Indian Owners Association meets in Branson, MO (May) and Hot Springs, AR (Sept).

just finished building this over the winter.

owned it since new in 2005, some squid on a stolen sport bike clipped me last March and I went down, damaged forks and tank.

decided to tear it down to the frame and completely customize it.

2005 HONDA VTX 1800F,

I have a 2008 Vulcan 2000 Classic LT that I bought new in 2010 and regrettably I've only got about 8.5K on it. Kids suck up so much free time, it's hard to get a ride in. I'm also a little worried about letting them ride on the back, the jump off is ~$500-600 in gear they'll outgrow in less than a year then having to worry still about them getting hurt in an accident is enough to just have them abstain. When I lived in north central OH, there was no curvy roads or topography to speak of, just drive straight for 2 miles to the stop sign then head straight, left or right 2 miles ot the next stop sign, it was booooring. Now I'm quite close to the western NC mountains and there's no shortage of great rides less than 45 minutes away. There was a Vulcan specific rally in Hendersonville, NC last summer I should have gone to, especially at only 43 minutes away I'd still be sleeping in my own bed at night. Hauling it somewhere to ride would concern me as my wife doesn't ride and doesn't tow a trailer so if I went down and got mangled I don't know how I'd get everything squared away and hauled home.

This since about 1987.

Had an idea I might like to put something across the back of the RV on one of those receiver hitch carriers and that one is too long and heavy so I just bought this. We'll see how it does. Wife isn't terribly impressed by it.

OK, and a couple others. (Little white one is gone now.) Big 600 in the back is almost done now.

And this old project in progress. That's about it I think.

Haven't got a picture handy, but I ride a 2002 Goldwing. Don't ride enough, but took it to play bball tonight for 40 mile ride and did 250 last Sun. with my brother. His is a 2003 Goldwing. Nice twisties and slow speed riding west and north of Chattanooga.

 

[Hoofaaa]

Don’t have a motorcycle, but a scooter. Been riding Vespas for about 20 years. I sold my 1980 Vespa 200P, and picked up a more reliable 2021 Piaggio Liberty 150. It’s perfect for anywhere I go. Can even hop on the highway for a few exits when needed.

This was our last one before we hung up the riding boots.

2015 Screaming Eagle Ultra Harley.

May rent one now and then but won’t own another.

Lots of miles and good memories over the many years of riding. No accidents or getting hurt. Was time to move on

My wife always likes riding an Ultra, that's pretty much our go to rental when we're traveling and want to ride. I really should get my little 4'×8' trailer fixed up so I can drag my Vulcan around where we go. Behind a minivan, I'd rather not tow anything where it starts to get hilly as it's already stuffed to the gills 99% of the time when we go somewhere.

We had a Goldwing with a sidecar that was a ton of fun to ride, but sold it a few years ago because it was too difficult for my wife to climb into and out of the sidecar. We find ourselves missing the riding every so aften, but we now enjoy our Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator just as much!

We had a 2003 honda 1800 retro then went to a 2014 Harley Limited. When my wife had her knees replaced she could no l swing/twist to get on the Harley. We sold that and got this. She loves it. However the only thing common with a motorcycle is that it’s classed as one.
