Motorbikes!!!!
 

Who's got 'em or used to have one?

I just bought a 1979 Yamaha XS 1100...and I'm going to murder it LOL. New Forks, New Seat, possibly a harley-style gas tank. Helllooooooooooooo Chopper!

Anyone?

I don't have a bike yet but I rode my friends Ducati Monster S4R the other day and am trying to convince him to sell it to me :D

He NEVER rides its so it just sits down in the underground parking of our building. For now hes saying no but I think he will come around. He paid $30K two years ago and I figure $20K is fair ;)

But I also have to actually get my Canadian bike license still...I think it takes a month? He said a month but he got his years ago...

$20K! I bought my bike for $400 :D I figure once my brother and I make it beautiful there should be another $1500 so I'l lhave a rad chopped bike for about 2 grand, which isn't bad at all.

I'm not sure about BC, I know in Alberta there's a course you can take (they even rent you the bikes for crying out loud) and they teach you pretty much everything, even how to lay down a bike should you need to. Then you get a discount on your license.

The last bike I had (2007 Katana 750) I bent the frame on...so I'm excited to get this beast. And when I say beast I mean it...this thing has 4 pipes running from the engine, 1100 cc...big bike for someone like me (5'7")

WOO HOO another chick that rides bikes... I don't know enough of them. I have a 2000 Roulette green Triumph speed triple. It's the bike from the Mission Impossible II movie. Actually it's on my Facebook profile picture right now.

It's for sale now since I never have a chance to ride it.

Yeah Diana, I saw the pic in your profile. You're selling Frank's too? Or who's is the red bike?

I don't mind rockets, don't get me wrong, they are a hot bike...but this one is going to be rad...

This is pretty much identical to how the bike looks now (not the exact bike, but same colouring, model etc):

Yes the ZX10R is also for sale... I am sick of him getting mass tickets or running away from the sheriffs when they clock him doing a million. I never considered my bike a crotch rocket since Frank can blow past me like I am standing still. I wanted something different then anybody else's so I opted for my S3. I love my bike but hate riding in the wind, cold or not so perfect weather conditions... therefore I never ride it.

I like your bike and it will look sweet when it is done...can you do a concept drawing... I know you can.:wink::wink:


Frank's bike is all carbon fiber farings, aftermarket everything, NOS, and has custom ghost skulls in the paint. He hates riding it since when we go out for a couple of hours it's a back breaker, mine is not so comfy either. I want something better the next time around as I am 6' tall and all my height is in my legs. They get really crampy on my Triumph too.

Somewhere between this one:

and this one:

The last one is only a 650, but we're planning on cutting out alot of the unnecesary stuff in my bike so it'll be a naked looking frame.

that's one bad ass bike Steve.

I'm a big fan of cruiser style bikes lately. Alot easier to enjoy the ride on the highway. When I had the Katana any time someone passed me I would have to work a little harder to keep her level.

I have a Ducati S2R 800 Monster
