Sure, cares and trucks are all well and good when you're hauling lots of gear, but what about when you want to arrive at a gig in style? Any other bikers here?

My current bike, until I can sell it and move bigger, is an '01 Kawasaki Vulcan. The only thing I spend more time tinkering on than my bike is the theater. And in Phoenix, we get a nice loooong riding season (that skips the middle of summer and 113 degree heat).

I would love to get a motorcycle, but I just cant afford one right now, nor can I justify a vehicle that has no roof while living in Michigan.

Too bad STEVETERRY never visits the Off-Topic area. I hear he's fond of BMW bikes, including a 1928!

My Parents wouldn't let me have a motorcycle when I was growing up. My wife won't lt me have one now.

I'd love to own a Triumph 600.

Good thing I live in Oregon and don't have a garage.

My dad sold his bike when I turned 16, to keep me from riding. It took a couple of years for my wife to come around.

Any pictures of those classics, Steve? My next ambition, when I find some free time, is to start looking for an old bike to fix up, assuming my wife lets me take over part of the garage for the project.

Ah old BMW's, I would love to see some pictures!

I currently own 1974 Honda CL125 Scrambler, and a 1981 CB400T Hawk. In the near future looking to own a HD though...been a dream for awhile
