Here's mine. Hopefully, when the economy gets going again I'll move up to a Sportster.

I'd still love to get my hands on one of these:



Of course, I think in the next year or so, if I play my cards right, I might have either a Harley Road King:



or a Honda Valkyrie:



Gotta pay off the Jeep first though.... and if we weren't looking at houses I'd have my sights set on the Valkyrie Rune:



I like big bikes... :D

I have had alot of fun with it this summer. It only set me back $1300.00 after tax title and assembly by dealer. Only real problem was the speedo cable which I tore up in the woods. I have had to do a few minor repairs here and there on some of the skimpier parts like the exhaust guard. Have gone through the bike and double checked that everything was tight. Also spent some time zip tying up some of the wires, battery, ect to prevent any off road seperation. Not fast enough for highway, 60 MPH is top, and I mean TOP end.

The only racing bike I'd really be interested in is the Honda Firestorm:



Only a partial fairing so you can show off that all the components are mounted on the engine block since there's no frame!  :D

Don't get me wrong... Ducati and Buell make some nice stuff, and the Ninja and Katana are almost mandatory around here, but I'm just not big on crotch rockets overall.

No the Firestorm is always one of those bikes I wished I'd bought :drool:, shame honda wimped out and decided not to make it a Duke basher ::) we had to wait for the SP1/2 for that >:D


There's just something special about doing 140mph on your knee that you never quite get out of your system :)

Whenever I think of a sport/racing bike I can't help but think that I'd just prefer to have a T-Rex:



I'll admit that many racing bikes are nice, they just aren't for me.
