How many of you ride and can you post pics of past and present rides.

Here is a shot of my old bike...loved that thing but there were too many problems and not enough parts for my neck of the woods.

Old Bike: EH Super X Limited Ed. this is the guy that bought it from me.

I ride. Right now i dont have enough money to buy my own, but i ride my dads 1969 Honda CB450.

I have, though, ridden almost every Jap Sportbike on the market. I worked in a Motorcycle/Car Repair shop so i had the chance to. I would have to say the best 600 on the market right now is the CBR600RR and the best open class is the Yamaha R1. Sure, there are faster bikes than the R1, mainly the Kawi, but the R1 is the most rideable.

I plan on getting either a Ducati Monster, Triumph Speed Triple, or either Yamaha R6 or CBR 600RR sometime soon.

i dig the old 70's style bobbers here is my last ride....had to sell it when buying a house....pulled it out of a burnt down house and bought it from the original owner....rebuilt the whole thing myself with the exception of paint...it had a set of 12" apes, custom chrome headlight, mustang seat, drag specialties rear fender, custom made side mount for the tag, had a complete engine rebuild, iron cross taillight, sportster sissy bar brackets with custom sqare stock sissy bar, jardine slip ons with the baffles "modified", set of nighthawk carbs for the slightly larger intake and jetting, of course none of that sissy shit like turn signals or horns, no front fender will ever be on any bike of mine........ and the speedometer was bolted up simply for sake of the buyer...i ran it without one.....i figured i was going faster than the guy behind me and not faster than the guy in front of me...plus i rewired the whole thing so that the kill switches and stock headlight switch were gone, in their place was a keyed auto type ignition on the right side mounted on a polished aluminum diamond plate bracket and a custom chrom hi/lo switch on the bars for the headlight.....

now ive got to build another cause getting rid of this broke my heart... its noy everyone vision of a dream bike but when you got a little blood into something you brought back from the ashes literally it becomes part of you so ryan you may be hearing from me if i can get it together

i see their ad in the horse backstreet choppers mag.....they do nice stuff.......hell why arent you cruisin some rigid chop? im going to try and build another this year....my honda was a rigid swingarm, i know its a contradiction but a buddy of mine who owns a local shop built me some solid struts to take the place of the shocks which lowered the bike and made it rigid at the same time......my next one wont be rigid though, with age come the attack of the hemis so i need some suspension....

Well Terry, my cousin (Randy) has told me of a price to build my next bike, but it will be awhile. I want to finish the Mark VIII before I go off and build a chopper. But the day will come..that you can be sure of. All I know is the latest creation that Randy built, he sold for $45,000. One off wheels, one off tank, and custom forward controls. Ever since he got that CNC mill and CNC Lathe, his business has skyrocketed!

those bikes are cool but im not personally into all the billet stuff....i like the flyrite choppers and sucker punch sallys stuff real well.....i love the way billet looks and everything but i want a bike that looks like it was hand built in a garage....i like the look of welds on a frame and i like the black bike look......a guy i know has this chop that is absolutely beautiful but when i sit on it, i just dont feel right......same thing with crotch rockets, i rode a few of them and my buddy had this suzuki that was real fast but under about 70 it felt real heavy in the front end and when i got off the thing my arms were quivering from my fat ass leaning on them the whole time.....

one thing that drives me nuts however is the trend toward bolting a bunch of ratty looking stuff on a bike frame and calling it a rat bike nowadays......i know bikes built by the owner tend to be a form of personal expression but the lines suck on a lot of these things......if anyone wants to get me a christmas gift however feel free to go to his cousins site and buy me a rolling chassis.......im not gonna put a harley motor in it, but it will be cool and ill take you for a ride....just dont hold on too tight or too low....
