I've been riding for almost 29 years (this December). Started when I was 9.

Every bike I've had has been amazing for its time. Gotta put my race bikes at the top. So purpose driven: TZ 250's and Factory Aprilia.

Down from there I loved all of my Harley's, in their own way. My Road Glide is real nice.

Lately I've made it back to the dirt, and been riding a plated '05 KTM 450 EXC. Super fun.


Best road story, well for the reader it would be the night a *RAT* (I crap you negative) hitched a ride on my BMW GS1100 on my way home from Hollywood one night. It's true I was drinking one or two, but this is the Gods truth. I didn't see him for about 15 miles, then looked down to see him hanging on my handlebar, at 80mph. I made the quick decision to save him. I pulled him into my chest and rode to the side of the Ventura freeway to drop him off. He's in a better neighborhood now.

That was hilarious !!! LOVE this story! where are the stars? I give ya 5 all the way

I've posted this elsewhere but it's still a great story.

Forgive the introduction, just be patient the humor will be there very soon.

Good one cuda...

Well the KZ is sorted. The problem was someone played around with the petcock and I was trying to rebuild it the way they did. As soon as I realized this and just went with how it was supposed to be I had no problem finding the parts I needed. Parts arrived 2 days later (thanx Z1)
Unfortunately I was sick so I didnt do anything for a week. Got it going but was basically out of gas so I took the scooter to work yesterday and dang nab it got a flat on the rear tire going home. Luckily I was mostly home and only had to walk it for about 15 mins. Today I took the bicycle cause I'm gonna try and get into shape (or at least less fat).

Hi guys , finally some days off ... as the Mrs is at Amsterdam I have the opportunity to take out the Ossa I restored a couple of years ago ... Thing is I always restore bikes and cars but once
the restoration is complete I always tackle another project ... (currently I have a 100M waiting , a 57 TR3 and a 51 Landy) - had to replace the gasket as it was leaking trans oil like hell - I'll take it out for a spin tomorrow

Summer nearly here, I was looking for a new toy.
Was never a fan of Victory motorcycles, but with their demise this was too good a deal to pass on from a local Polaris dealer.



Victory Octane, basically a hopped up Indian Scout. A few less HP than the HD Street rod, so should slow me down a bit...Yeah, right..

Not sure I ever posted my last bike so...
