Motorcycle thread

[Tyler Max]

Hi everyone,

I am not a veteran here, have been lurking some time, but realized the community to be the most mature one. Given that we all alpha , lift weights and juice to hearts content, I always assumed we’ll be the ones taking the risk of 2 wheels of freedom. Did a quick search and turned out not much, decided to give it a go and open a thread inspite of my newbie status around here.

So who is a rider around here, share pics of your beauties and make model, what mods you have done.

My eyes are set on the new HD breakout, I only have couple years of riding experience but a long time enthusiast.

Don’t currently own, blame the little man and wife for that, but will again in the future.

1. 2007 Honda CBR600RR
2. 2012 Ducati 848EVO
3. 2006 Suzuki GSXR-1000

All exhaust/PC/barely DOT approved tires.

I’d like to keep a track bike and have a cruiser for the street. Love a Dyna Superglide.

 

[Xragexx]

I have 2014 HD forty-eight.

V&H short shots matte black
V&H fuel pak3
Drag specialties brown low spring solo seat
Bitwell thruster grips-brown
Front fender delete
Smoked signals
Accel 8mm red plug wires

And Several other small odds and ends things.

Decided to enter a bike show this past summer just for fun and actually got first place in my class.

Edit: also had a 2007 CBR1000rr with two brothers full exhaust but my wife made me sale it due to having kids and wanting me alive lol

Nothing beats a twist of the throttle on a liter bike. Fuck, i miss it.

I do too but it’s too difficult to ride sensible on those and with the way people text and drive now days, she didn’t have to ask me to sale it twice.

I’m like you, if I could have a track bike I’d be set. No feeling like being knee down, no chicken strips on the back tire.

Edit: lost my best friend two years ago to a Lincoln Navigator, I ride a little different now days. With the fat front tire on my 48 I can fold pegs up and rest on passenger begs and corner it with some momentum, so I still have it in me lol

 

[Mac11wildcat]

It’s not my fault that sensible and within safe bounds on a liter bike is 3x the speed limit. I’m not responsible for that...

I do want to get into the cruiser life so my wife can enjoy being out on twos as well. Less work. More leisurely.

Heres mine, Suzuki Intruder. Did a custom exhaust on it with heat wraps. Wireless bluetooth speakers, passenger seat, saddle bags, ape hangers, and did an injector upgrade.

Looks like a grandpa bike that some guy drives at barely the speed limit. But believe me, she's gone almost 100 in town multiple times. Lol

Forty eight is a fun ride! Nimble as hell, I rode it just a little bit and had a lot of fun. But my size at 6 foot 210 pounds it looked a little off under me, first I tried to resist my buddies telling me that the bike looks too small, but eventually you see your reflection and feel like the bike is crying for help under you so I let it go, but was fun while it lasted. Gonna test drive the breakout this summer, that machine looks like a beast!

Ha. Thanks. I like it. DOHC, shaft driven, liquid cooled. I can beat the piss out of it and she runs great. Put 12,000 miles on it the first year i had it and i could only drive it for 7 months. Lol.

Thinking about possibly upgrading to the M109R though... Its basically this ones bug brother. They look identical but the m109r goes 0-60 in like 3.5. Has 120+ hp and 120 lb-ft of torque.

@Robfromga ive wanted to build one of those, hoping to in the next year. Sweet bike, I’m an alpinestar fan also. Switched to icons once and i switched back about a month later.

I was almost about to pull the trigger on it recently, but held my horses lol that one seems to be a true cruiser from the new lineup. I was also interested in Fatbob, but the rear is too high, looks kinda like a cross-over.

I love the fat bob but I have the same issue with it. That fender def needs to be sitting on the back tire. Wouldn’t take much to lower it tho.

Just always spend the extra and lower with shocks and not the 1” hardware

I hate Alpinestar stuff . That suits been down twice and won't pass tech. I only wear it on the kart tracks where they don't tech the gear . I wear a Teknic kangaroo suit otherwise .

Supermoto is the funnest thing ever . I never ride my MX bike or my cbr

I’ve never had a one piece but there’s been two times I sure wish that I did.

What kind of mx bike do you ride? I raced growing up but that was when 2 strokes were still popular. Just not the same anymore with 4 strokes imo, nothing like the smell at the track and 2 strike winding out

I posted these one before my bikes a BigDog Chopper
and a 1945 Harley
