Motorcycles

damn harley, my dream bike is a road king or (dream dream dream) an electraglide, but i had a 1989 1200 kawasaki voyager, very nice till a lady cut across in front of me in a suburban, laid it down and trashed it, still in litigation, will probably never see it on the road again, or any compensation from/for it. breaks my heart to see it laying there in pieces. damn insurance company wont budge! all i have from it is a couple of ruptured discs in my back! ride safe bro
also had a '79 kawi KZ100 LTD that was a nice bike too! damn i miss riding!

Sweet lookin ride, and i know how it feels, i had a disk in the lower lumbar taken out once, because of a work accident, not riding,lol, and i had to be off riding for a few years.

My Bike. I bought her a few months ago and have put ~2k miles on it so far. It's great, the British guys know what they're doing.

Harley - what's that yellow Norton? That's one of the sexiest machines I've ever seen. Some version of the Commando?

I'm in the middle of buying a Triumph Thruxton - it's impossible to find one smog legal for CA, though - especially if you need Black!

Happily - GORGEOUS Speed Four! I head they're discontinuing the bike, though No more 4-cyl Triumphs

Not sure which it is, i found it when i was searching Nortons.

Hey HarleyXLH... thanks for the nod in this direction. My bad. I dont have pics of my bike yet, and kinda cringe at putting them up just yet as Im trying to rebuild a 6 year old crotch rocket. I do have the befores and it may take some time for the afters. Im gonna be on this site long enough though... I will try and upload the befores.

Im sure I busted in on a discussion... my bad, but just wanted to sound off for the Barrio Bikers!

Very cool, love to see them

The part that gets me is this bike... its a good bike. Its a street bike, but the previous owners didnt take care of it. Typical of some kid with cash. The wheels are caked with road wear, the chain is hurting, the ferring has missing screws, which caused cracks, the chrome was NEVER tended too... its a project, but I will post the before pics. Im moving to a new place, so the after pics wont have the same background... not that this is going to be a show stopper bike, but I dont want anyone thinking that I would bullshit about this. Everything else... ya sure, my bike... never!

@Harley...thanks for redirecting...I have pics of my bike but I'm in Charleston, SC on business. Incidentally, I've NEVER seen more biker bars as I have here! Anyway, any idea how hard it's gonna be to change my fork seals ('82 KZ-750). Gonna try this weekend...
