Lots of awesome machines here:

My '13 Honda CRF that I use for bike camping.. My new favorite "peace and quiet" activity.

The Yamaha R6. AMazing bike. Getting tough to ride for long due to the aggressive position.

Chris. I put a riser on my handle bars that made all the difference in the world for me.

Thats not a bad idea actually. I have the same on the CRF for riding while standing.

Had this for a time. Rebuilt the engine.

Let it go when I got the urge for more/bigger.

Fight the urge to come back every so often.

The bike is very light, and has so much torque. I can run a 2.5 mile road course in just 1st (super tall), 3rd, and 6th gears.

Didn't know you had a 911.

For a bunch of Porsche guys, I’m seeing a lot more off-road bikes than I would have guessed.

These are just smart people who know how to have fun off road. As opposed to, say, those over-monied misguided souls doing a "Safari" conversion to a perfectly good road-going 911. Almost as dumb as me using a motard for strictly tarmac!

Have thinned the herd from 22 down to the current 10........Plucked this one from a local ditch where it had been discarded. I wanted the mufflers for my SuperHawk restore project. Both gone now........

LakeCleElum · 09-25-2018, 09:26 PM

Paid $600 for this first year Kawasaki Z-1....Came with fairing, bags, king/queen seat and ape hangers.......Almost stock now, have the 4 into 4 exhaust I need to install.

Had a matching pair of these Norton 850 Commandos:

Go

Ride the Gold Wing 3 or 4 times/year when the wife wants to go:

More to come as I have 6 Suzuki GS models. This is a like new first year 1978 GS 1000E......Paid $300 with a disassembled top end, but included all new parts. His wife made him sell cheap after he crashed his Yamaha on a ride I was leading:

LakeCleElum · 09-25-2018, 09:50 PM

1982 GS 1100G (Shaft Drive).......Paid $950 in 1991 during a snowstorm when seller decided he needed a car. Bought it with 11,000 miles, just broke 20,000:
