I was driving home the other evening, and passed the same motorcycle dealership I've been passing for 2 years now, and happened to look over. Saw a little Honda Rebel sitting in the garage. Stopped and asked him how much. $1000 bucks.

It's a 1986, in immaculate condition. Just 19000 miles on it, and it rides like a dream. It's a little small for me, but I just bought it for the hell of it. I'm no biker, and I have no desire to go over 65 mph with nothing between me and the pavement.

Any other "bikers" out there?

When I was growin up we rode the shit out of a little honda rebel.....Man that bike was fun,but Im a lil big for one now ...............would like a custom fat tired chopper...lol

I'm 6 feet tall, and 250 pounds, and it gets me around just fine...

I'll want a bigger one before long.

ive got a 78 Kawasaki KZ 650 that ive gottan to ride like 4 times...lol
i always had dirtbikes growing up but this is my first street bike....see the picture thread for what it is suppoused to look like

trying to talk wife into me getting a crotch rocket...noting big . like a small CBR or a ninja. but no luck yet

Trying to talk the wife into a new VTX when I get home but she said we have to buy a house first. She doesn't want any new loans taken out before we buy a house. I'd be mad if it didn't make so much damn since.

I ride a Yamaha Dragstar (Vstar) 1100 Custom

rear lowered 2.5"
200 rear tire

Barons drag bars

I'm looking for a cheap bike (Rebel or 250 Ninja) to get back and forth between our two buildings that are a mile apart from eachother. Rebels are the Hyundai's of the motorcycle world but ya gotta love em

keep the exhaust tight (up against the head), because it tends to work loose on the rebels. Oh and use antisieze on those threads also.

I got a Kawasaki KLX 300 dirt bike with a Baja Designs dual sport, street legal kit. It has a header pipe, pumper carb, manual compression release, crankcase breather kit and some other stuff to make it better suited to fit me. Now it's got enough snap to easily lift the front tire up in to the air just by quickly twisting the grip. That says alot out on the trail with my fat ass loading things down.

Some of the older guys might remember the name of a couple bikes I had way back, member the bulltacos?

oh my god.......i had one of those..... it took me months to get used to the shifter and brake being on the wrong sides.

my first bike was a 71 Yamaha AT 125 2 stroker...had an oil resivore and a pre mixer so i could buy pump gas.half the scars on my body came from that bike.

last summer i picked up a Buell M2 Cyclone.it's a 1200 cc harley motor on a crotch rocket frame . got the dual mickey carbs and a race header. did a few body mods so if i dump it all the fairing doesn't disentegrate.

i have a photo posted in "other rides" this bike has got to be the best of both worlds, i got it up to 165 mph last fall and scared the hell out of myself.(psst....don't tell my wife)

.

try this.....bring her home a buell ad and just keep telling her "but baby....it's a harley......."

i bought mine used for $3000 had 2800 miles when i got it.

So when it went through he had his taco on the steps of the capital , Governor Reagan put the sticker on and then, dressed in his suit, my father in law rode his bike down the stairs of the capital in Sacramento. My wife has newspaper clippings from it.
