haha it's 15000 miles a year!

I don't get to ride much myself, with two young children it makes it a little difficult to fit in, I only have 1,800 miles on my bike (I know sad, sad, sad)

Here's my ride an 08' Yamaha Roadliner 1900cc midnight with my daughter pictured when I first picked it up in 09'
I would love to get some hard bags eventually for this beast.

Nice daughter and bike shot. I know I've already posted a pic of my bike, but I will post one of my favourite pictures in my family photo's collection that is still relevant to the thread. This was taken in '09 just before I went on a seven day camping trip with a couple of other bike riding friends. My daughter decided she had to climb up to give me a last kiss bye-bye.

I used to be a motorcylce courier in another life. Most recently I had two old Dnepr sidecar rigs. Real interesting machines. They bring out the McGyver in you. Here's one of them naked....

I've been thinking about one of these as a possible future machine...

I like that motorcycle a lot! reminds me of all the old BMW's my Dad rode when I was a kid.

Met a guy the other day on a 2006 Triumph Thruxton motorcycle. I am not much of a bike person, rode Cushman Eagle motor scooters as a kid. I was very much impressed with this bike. Anyone here have an expierence withthe modern Triumphs? Pros and Cons.

No experience with the modern Triumphs but I had a 1967 650 Bonneville with 750 Zip kit, Titanium valves & rockers, dual carbs, dual points & dual coils back in 1972....a real fast mother. My brother around that time had a chopped 1957 650, I think it was a Trident (?). Those were the days.............

Parallel twin engine?

mine is a V-twin.
