The Nx gets the garage. The SA, I just leave in the driveway...

Latest Addition:

[Gus]

My old BMW 1150 Adventure, from what I hear I'm the only person to have consistent problems with one of those bikes. The latest toy/yard tool Suzuki King Quad 750

[Gumby]

I had constant problems with my K100RT. I ride Hondas now. I don't like walking.

[Gus]

After my experience with the 1150 GS, I would have been better off walking instead of trying to ride that thing, I might have actually made it to my destination. It seems it's hard to go wrong with some of the Japanese machines.

oh baby.

Yep. And the TUT ST90 is back in my hands again.

All the other bikes I've still got, but this '95 Honda had to go to help in the purchase of my 1150GS:

is that a XR600S or a converted XR400?

It's an XR400R with a Wiseco piston and a Mikuni pumper carb. The prior owner put an enduro kit on it and titled it and then licensed it for the street. I went a step further by trashing the enduro kit and adding a Baja Designs dual sport kit. Installed a Ricky Stator dual 75watt output stator that has one output staying AC and powering the headlight, while the other output is DC, hooked to a battery pack, voltage regulator and runs the turn signals, brake/tail lights, horn, etc. Everything on the bike is LED except the headlight. Here's a couple more shots:







That sucker flies!

And I added Dirt Bagz too:

Damn DD, nice stable of bikes & Cruisers...

89 GL 1500

taking my youngest for a quick "ride"

[dgangle]

what are those vertical things in the 2nd pic?

[SD_rdcruzer]

That's the Alaska pipeline. The towers are cooling fins to keep the permafrost from melting where the pipeline goes underground.

We used to take an extended ride at the end of summer each year, that was taken up by Delta Junction.

[Dutchie]

Trackdays only, can't be bothered driving on the open road. More for tinkering then riding actually (sadly). Embarreses quite a few big bikes

Lot's of special bits, dry clutch, close ration box, programmable electrics, billet heads, powervalves and quite a few more horses then original. Got all the original fairings but don't want to trash them so using cheap polyester ones.

[Hilux]

Hey, Dieseldog....

What's that thing on that trail 110? Is that some sort of piggyback gas can?

That's precisely what it is.

[sisukid1975]

Here's mine:

2003 BMW F650GS



I also have a Moped like the one on the right in this picture, but mine is red. It's taken apart right now, and is going to be my winter project. I don't have a picture of it on me:



I also have one of these, but again, oddly, no picture of it. I keep it at my parents' house in Northern Wisconsin, since they live about 1 mile from the trailhead of 100 mile network of public trails. 2007 Polaris Sportsman 500 X2:

new acquisition today


it might be a bit small for me

[dgangle]

ahh...PW50. Both my boys learned to ride on one. The bike is OK for learning/riding very modestly. When they start turning it up/jumping is when the fun ends and your welding/fabrication skills will be tested on the frame in the area of the steering head. Also start buying steering stem outer bearing races cause they go through them like candy. In time you'll get really good at changing them out in less than 30 minutes. Best mods by far are YZ80 serrated footpegs, cutting the end off the baffle, going up to a 65 mainjet and running pre-mix. These really clean out the carburation and alow the engine to perform MUCH btter. Pick up a fdew extra air filter elements, they're cheap, easy to change out and get plugged real easy due to the location of the airbox/airbox inlet.

Or do like most people and when it starts breaking big stuff it's time to move up.

good to know for future reference.
my boy was 6 in march and the girl turned 5 the day before I bought the bike, I looked at a z50 a couple weeks back, but it was just too big for him...

My wife grew up as a town kid, so kids on dirtbikes is kind of on the edge of her comfort zone, so getting a cute little bike that has a throttle stop and stuff has helped get her on board with the whole thing... hell she even took it for a spin!

probably next year we will get a bigger 50 one for the boy and then the whole fambly can ride together (wife inherited the pitsterpro when I got the xr400, though she has yet to ride it)

Yes, I know that should've been wearing a helmet, and will in the future. She was just checking out how slow and easy it really was with the throttle stop turned in to what I deemed appropriate... when it started going she looked surprised and took it for a loop around the parking lot at the track... came back with a big grin. (AFAIK this was the first time that she'd ever ridden a motorcycle)
she's now raring to try out the chinabike

[gladly]

oh, the chinabike... I don't have a picture of mine, but it's an 07 pitsterpro 125
similar to this one (from a google image search)

[dgangle]

Looks like a great place to learn. Flat, smooth, nothing to run into. Won't be breaking any frames in that field, just scratching plastic. Sturdy clothing, gloves, boots that cover the ankle and a properly fitting quality helmet are your best bets.

[Jim_Phillips]

This is 1978 Z100 A2 which began its long life in the USA before being imported to the UK 11 years ago. I have owned it for the last 7 and despite the tears of the purists out there, I have added one or two modifications - Still some way to go before I am finished...

[Red Herring]

Nice bike Jim!

[jagota]

I have a few of these in the corner, over by the Dodge.
