Get in here and share a pic of your bike.

2008 Yamaha VStar 1300 Tourer

Thinking of also getting a smaller fun bike for quick runs in town, like a Royal Enfield Bullet 500.

What’s your machine, or what is your dream bike?
 
Nice ride Brother Ottawa. That's what I need is a back rest for my front seat. Long rides start wearing on me a bit.

I got a restored & tricked out 1998 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500. I was riding with 6 other Harley's & one of the guys who didn't know me spoke up while we were all stopped & standing around my bike. He noticed the Kawasaki emblem & called me a poser because he thought I was riding a Harley!... lol... I told him that Kawasaki's are a lot cheaper to repair so FTW. :p

Here'z me basket case atm... a 1959 Harley Sportster Iron Head XLCH. I actually got it running at the end of last year, but the gas tank was so rusty, that I electric taped a quart sized oil container filled with gas to the fuel line... & rode that fooka around the yard!!! haha.... Now I gotta track down a pretty bad oil leak & fix that... then I'll de-rust the gas tank & it will be ready to ride.

Need to get the electric system working for the lights n stuff to pass inspections but that's an afterthought. So awesome the electric doesn't even need to be working for me to kick start this thing & ride it around. Teh fooking Vulcan will go down if a fooking sensor goes bad... lol. This 59 Sporty is a very simple to understand machine, unlike these complicated computer rides they make today.

Sweet bikes! I am not really mechanically inclined so I don’t do much myself on the bike. I will def take some classes when i retire and learn to fix engines, as a project bike sounds like a good way to spend some quality time in your garage on rainy days.

That 59 looks awesome. Damn, it’s only 7 years older than me...

I am flying back home tomorrow night so I will have to cram an entire riding season into what’s left of summer.

Wow, that does look great. Goo to see them expanding into this segment as there is a growing market for sport touring bikes.
 
I don’t have one but I’d love to get one of those touring bikes that you can take off road like those guys in “long way around” had. My uncle has one made by bmw that he does long ass trips on. Seems cool.
 
My daily ride. 07 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R

I have rode my wr250r to the sierras a few times. 800 to 1100 mile trips campimg 2018_05_22_2044.JPG
 
I have 4.

Yamaha v star 650
Kawasaki Vulcan drifter 1500
Yamaha XT225
Yamaha TW200

The tw200 is by far my favorite. I learned that bigger bike doesn't mean more fun.
