I see a car porn thread, but not a bike one. Apologies if I missed it. I know there are a few bikers here, so heres a pic of my husbands new love- she's younger than me 😂
and probably better behaved! He's always wanted one.

This is another of ours thats been off road since we bought it back from the States because it was too expensive to insure. It's not my photo; I think I only have printed photos of it. 1986 Kawasaki Concours

I have worked in bike shops for 45 years and owned 150 bikes. Most were beater used bikes picked up cheap and enjoyed immensly. I remember trips more than bikes except for a few that performed above and beyond any expectation. I still have three I ride on occasion and a few more I need to get around to and fix up.
Now I do generators and snow blowers and mowers in my little home shop.. Not the liability of working on road going machines.
I also have built twelve gas engined motorized bicycles.

I won this bike in a raffle about 5 years ago; and it prompted my OH to get his licence (that had lapsed) and get back on the road. Sold her yesterday (husband upgraded to the first pic) to a lovely guy who was like a kid at getting his first bike since being a teenager. I hope he has many happy journeys.
 
Here's my big hawg, Honda Ruckus. Oh yeah. Goes all over my property with ease, gets great gas mileage and doesn't carry about no stinking roads. This pic doesn't show the rifle rack.

I have been figuring out how to make some higher bars work on the go fast low bar bike I fixed up. It seems after riding it a bit on some twisty roads I have finally discovered how well a light powerfull bike can handle ........and how much fun it is. Besides we have some nice roads around my area..
