WOL Motorcycle Thread

I just sold my last bike. It was a little guy but still fun. After a few accidents and a couple surgeries with steel plates and a bunch of screws. I figured I'd stick to dirt bikes and jeeps. IMG_0915.jpgIMG_0916.jpg

2011 Ninja 1000. Doesn’t get a lot of use these days. May sell it to fund Jeep mods or a supercharger for my MX-5. IMG_3848.jpg
 
Was into motorcycles for a long period of time and loved it. This is a pic of my HD RoadKing FLHRS. Have recently sold it, but not missing it much...yet.

Here’s both of mine. 2009 Street Glide, Screaming Eagle stage 4 and my bar-hopper 2010 CVO soft tail.

I did all the work on the ‘09 except for the tune.

Yes I have dropped both of them.

Always been a fan of dual sport bikes. The Honda XL/XR series were my favorites since I was in high school. This is my current ride. IMG_3152.jpgIMG_3154.jpg 2008 Honda xr650l

Thoughts on the Ducati scrambler? 75hp 50 ft/lbs of torque and 413 pounds wet. The Triumph is 414 lbs 104 hp and 50 ft/lbs of torque, there is also an R with Olins suspension and brembos for a pretty cheap upgrade fee.

The Ducati service intervals are pretty short (around 7500 miles) and a tad complex, you should figure that into your plan. The Triumph service intervals are about double that mileage and no cam belts to replace.

Bikes are a wayalife also...

I started riding street in 2006 (35 yrs old), I rode dirt bikes up to that point.

My first street bike a 2006 Ninja 250. I put just over 31,000 miles on it the 2 years I owned it.

About a year later I traded straight up my TJ for a 78 KZ1000.

Sold the Ninja 250 in 2008 and bought a ‘97 GSXR 600, ugly but was a blast to ride coming from the 250.

Sold those two and in 2013 I got my dream bike a 2006 Yamaha R1 50th Anniversary Edition. Love it and the power!

I do some corner marshaling for california superbike school so i get quite a bit of track time

Here is an older pic of my two bikes. This picture really makes me sad because i love that ninja 300, so much fun to ride.. but the fiance got hit on the freeway from someone randomly changing lanes without looking. She was hurt pretty bad with some broken bones but recovered well. Bike was totaled.

Aftermath of the 300. The picture doesnt really show the front forks being bent.. also bent subframe and lots of other frame damage.

More fun stuff though! A newer one of my 2016 zx10.

Currently im working on tuning it and learning how to properly set everything up. Been a blast. With current setup im at 194 whp w/ 93 pump gas.

My first street bike that I still have is a 2001 Sportster 1200 Custom "not the most recent picture but you get the idea" I came from riding a lot of dirt bikes before street riding.
My project bike is a 1974 Yamaha DT125 barn find

This thread has been slow for a while. Not really riding season in most places I guess.

I gave the Ninja a bath today. Have to get it on the twisties soon. [emoji16]
