When you aren't swimming, what are you riding?

[dorpo75]

DH and I are noob Harley owners. Only been riding a year. He rides an ultra classic Electra Glide and I ride a Heritage Softtail. I'll post pics when I'm not ridin' or swimmin'. ( but never on the bikes)

Currently an 883 Sportster on loan from the parents. I had to sell a 2006 Nighttrain after the daughter was born to pay for daycare.

Prior bikes to that were a 2003 1200 Sportster and a 1999 Kawasaki 500 Vulcan.

I've been riding since 1998 and used to average 10-15k miles/year. Now, I spend more time with the family and only average around 5k/year. This should start creeping back up now that we've moved closer to work so the wife and I don't have to carpool all the time.

Keep it rubber side down (they ride better that way)

2000 Honda XR650R ... if I am in the dirt
2005 Honda TRX450R ... if I am in the sand
1999 Kawasaki Ultra 150 ... if I am in the water

Unfortunately ... nothing for the street right now. I have a 1984 Honda VF700 Interceptor that I need to put back together.

That's ridiculous! You're right, there are too many people who think that way.

When I saw your vehicle list and the comment about 4 AC units, my thoughts are WOW, this guy must be good at what he does.

Not poking fun, honest question.

How does one that enjoys riding marry someone that doesn't? If the wife didn't like it when we first met, I probably would not have stayed around long enough to fall in love.

Have a 1980 Sportster I haven't touched in years. Gonna finish up my car, fix my sailboat, and eventually I'll get to the bike. Yeah, I have too much stuff. Pesky job gets in the way of my hobbies.

Me:
2005 1100 VStar for putzing around town
2007 1800 Goldwing Nav for long distance riding

Husband:
2003 1800 Goldwing

Used to do about 15-20,000 miles a year. Ashamed to say we have slowed down some since moving out on acreage. Now I get to ride a lawn mower.

Have a 1975 Super glide, sitting behind my shed for 30 years. Should drag it out and work on it!

I had to sell a 2006 Nighttrain

Hubby and I have a 2006 NightTrain. We get a lot of head turning and compliments on her. I've seen ppl hanging their heads out their vehical windows hootin n hollern at us to give it more gas. We love it! It's our summer vacation. We just get on it and go.

I ride a 2005 Honda VTX 1300S. Her name is Fancie, because she is. Fancy that is. Started out on a 2001 Virago 250. A sweet little V-Twin. Looked kind of like a Harley but was too small to be a Hog. So, I named her Piglet!

When I lived in the Philippines, I had a 2004 Sportster 1200R.

After 5 years of riding it over there, I finally had some teen girl walk out in the street right in front of me (while texting) and I dumped the bike ... broke my collarbone in 3 places and broke 2 ribs ... Sold the bike after healing up and having the bike repaired:

Drive this now (since moving to Florida):

 

[Slowpoke]

'98 V-Star 650. I just rejetted carbs and added filter pods.

[attachment=0:2ac10ptk]newbikesize.jpg[/attachment:2ac10ptk]Love all of the replies. Here is what I am currently riding when the weather permits. (NE Ohio. Always an adventure!) 2005 Heritage Deluxe. Found it last year on sale in Crystal River Florida. Wasn't intending to get a new one, it just jumped out and got me! The DH and I along with a few friends are planning a trip to Canada this summer. Should be fun.
