Very interesting article on the Buddhist bike collector. I'm going to have to pop up there soon to check it out before his non-attachment takes blossom.

I have a K7 GSXR750. I also still have my first bike. A 1983 RG250 Gamma which will be a project bike when my son gets a little older. I love all things motorcycle.

Got to see it on a ride with the Santa Barbara European bike group. It's awfully cool. And, if you come up a little further, there's the Vintage Motorcycle Museum in Solvang. Neat place in a touristy town. http://www.motosolvang.com/

Gamma?! Love two strokes. I had this one for quite a while. Rode with onother RZ 350 and an RZ 500 quite a bit. Great sound when we all got on it..... Wanted to try something different, and went to a Ducati from it....(broken attachment removed)

BMW K75 here, it's older but such a smooth machine.

Always liked those. Bassist I used to work with had an S model. I was on an RS1100L at the time. I think I actually preferred his 75s. Just felt more nimble.

Here's me on my Buell:

Here's my current ride, '07 FXDB.

Nice! I like the paint. Local shop's got a '11 Dyna I keep thinking I should try. I really miss my '05 Sporty, and it'd be hugely improved over my older style bike . Plus, I luv the low end rush on a big twin...... Here's the previous ride. It was a nice, well sorted out Sporty. Sold because of hand problems, nothing about the bike. I really loved it!

 

[crash]

You know, this thread's reminded me I just like bikes! Don't think I've ever ridden one I didn't like in some way or another....

 

[FunkyCrime]

Thanks crash! The paint actually looks way better in person.. That sporty looks like a great ride. My first bike was an '80 ironhead sportster that I bought about 10 years ago. It was a really cool bike but I just couldn't get it running right all the time.

Yeah, two wheels is where the fun is...

Dropped the sump on my vintage Guzzi restoration project tonight… very pleased to find a clean filter gauze with no significant metal in the sump… phew. Cleaned it all up, put a new gasket in and zipped it back up. Time to put the top ends together. I’ve never ridden one of these, only V50’s, Californians and LeMans, so no idea whether they are good to ride or not… although they get a good rap on the net… can’t wait to find out.

I love Ducatis. The maintenance is too beaucoup for me though. Happy to see they released another liquid cooled Monster this year.

Ian-sweet looking bikes! Is that a Paul Smart in the last pic?

My wife has her license– I've been trying to get her on a Monster 696...

Hard to find anyone who's ridden Il Mostro, who didn't love it...... Mine was a '97 750.....

A guy at work rides his regularly. Great bikes. Really classic looking, too.........
