: You Ride?
NateDawgG 08-28-2008, 10:16 PM Just wondering how many of us ride a bike.
I ride a lightly modded Suzuki SV1000S, so it stands that I'm a member of SoCalSVRiders.org
:)
powderaddict 08-28-2008, 10:53 PM I have a 955 Triumph Sprint, I'm trying to sell it to buy a Ninja 650. Trying to downsize a bit.
Been riding my '82 Honda XL500R off and on since well, 1982 ;)
unclehardrock 08-29-2008, 06:06 AM '02 yamaha v-star 1100.....also heavily modded...lol
03Graphite 08-29-2008, 11:46 AM Absofrickenlootly 2007 Ducati Monster 695 :2cool: stock for now
cbzdel 08-29-2008, 01:39 PM I got a Ruckus that I ride 99% of the time, I hardly dive the X anymore.. I have had my Ruckus for about a month now and its at 800 miles already haha!!!
Not that I ruckus is a real motorcycle but it has motor and its on 2 wheels...
I use to have Suzuki DR350 that was all modified but then my dad broke his hand and decided to get a jeep so I bought an xterra, and just barely I sold the bike to buy a shrock bumper for my truck which I still haven't got =(
gixxersixxerman 08-29-2008, 05:13 PM looking at my sig pic, i might have rode once or twice lol
TN4x4Xterra 08-29-2008, 06:31 PM I have ridden a motorcycle but not something I'd want to own though.
silverbullet 08-29-2008, 10:03 PM I wish I could afford one... but my money is going other places though. Primarily Snap-On and my X.
json3904 08-29-2008, 10:58 PM my father is a motorcycle mechanic so as i grew up i have always been on bikes... LOL i cant wait till i get mine back up and running...
NateDawgG 08-29-2008, 11:50 PM I wish I could afford one... but my money is going other places though. Primarily Snap-On and my X.
Wow - Thats your X? She's flippin hawtt! I bet you spend so much money on her that you can barely afford to put money into your Xterra! Too bad she divorced you........

Rons04X 08-30-2008, 11:07 PM i want a cbr soooo bad!
NateDawgG 09-01-2008, 02:56 AM i want a cbr soooo bad!
Dude, the new CBR1000RR is so sick. I totally want that as my next bike.
Beamanager 09-01-2008, 06:55 AM I have a restored 1982 Honda Ascot FT500. Love to ride and restore bikes!!
Bike was much easier than the 69 bronco I'm on now!!
gixxersixxerman 09-02-2008, 09:29 PM Being a suzuki fan there is a reason their slogan is "own the racetrack" and "if you dont win dont blame us" lol... they make one of the best bikes out there... ive rode all 4 brands and i like different things about each, i love the all around feeling of suzuki's, i love the responsiveness of the yammies, and the power of the kawis, and the handling of honda's........ but i wouldnt piss on a honda to put out the fire... and intill the 07 600RR, and 08 1000RR i thought they were the ugliest bikes ever, i love the new honda's but still wouldnt own one............ this is my opinion sorry to offend anyone
this is my opinion sorry to offend anyone
No offense taken, I always pull my Honda over to help fix my buddies Suzuki's :rofl-big:
json3904 09-02-2008, 11:51 PM i have owned 2 yamaha's and i think the next bike i get is going to be a gsx'r i have wanted one for the longest time... LOL
k1w1t1m 09-03-2008, 08:43 AM I have a Yamaha Virago 750. One day I'd like to get a Goldwing.
gixxersixxerman 09-03-2008, 09:47 AM No offense taken, I always pull my Honda over to help fix my buddies Suzuki's :rofl-big:
BAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA. ..... man my gut hurts for laughing that hard.... thanks i needed that :laugh-big:
NateDawgG 09-07-2008, 12:49 AM Hmmmmmm..... dunno where that came from. We're not talking about Harleys or anything here. I owned a Harley for 2 months before I blew out the tranny. I went right out and bought a Suzuki that I thoroughly abused without any problems and then sold to a friend. I still see him thumping around on the damn thing and it runs great.
Also, I helped my girlfriend get a Buell Blast. Talk about having to learn to fix a motorcycle! Sheesh! She was soooooo glad to out grow it and get on an SV650.
:D
heh no sweat Nate, I was just givin it to Gixxersixxerman for his comment on Honda's. All in fun.
I've never cared what anyone ran so long as they looked like they were having fun and weren't ashamed of their ride. If you like your ride, I'll like your ride.
My Dad and I used to take off sometimes for the Rock Store (http://www.rock-store.com/) in SoCal in the early 80's and there was this one club of guys riding Honda MB5's and the crotch rocket crowd used to make such fun of them but I tell you, those guys were having twice as much fun doing the curves near the speed limit than the race bikes that basically were idling around them because of the CHP presence.
My Dad always said it wasn't what you ride, it's how you ride it that makes you a biker or not.
NateDawgG 09-07-2008, 06:33 PM heh no sweat Nate, I was just givin it to Gixxersixxerman for his comment on Honda's. All in fun.
My Dad always said it wasn't what you ride, it's how you ride it that makes you a biker or not.
I dig it and didn't take offense. I just had to chip in my .02 as well. I'll ride with anyone no matter what they ride as long as they are cool and a reasonable rider. I just hate jerks who give motorcyclists a bad name.
However, I really dont like Kawais though. Never have. They always struck me as trying really hard to create a "look" for themselves, but never quite hitting the nail on the head.
I love me some Zooks, and will totally buy a Honde if I decide to buy an $11K sportbike.
For now, I'm happy thumpping along on my trusty SV1000S. Gobs of torque, nice, mellow exhaust note, and slightly more comfortable than other sportbikes.
json3904 09-07-2008, 06:36 PM i still cant believe the new kaw 250's look better than the 600's.....
NateDawgG 09-10-2008, 11:22 AM Theyre all fugly IMHO

aznboihoy03 03-26-2009, 03:11 AM aww i had to pass on my 06 CBR600rr to my cousin since i got layed off a month ago :( i miss riding though
carrottop432 03-29-2009, 01:50 AM I crashed my bicycle every single time I rode it, so I figured a motorcycle would fall under the "Bad Idea" category for me. Both my brothers have motorcycles, though. My oldest brother has a newer ('08, I believe) Harley Sportster 1200 Nightster, and my other brother has a Honda Shadow, can't remember the size or year.
Broden21 03-29-2009, 07:42 AM im in the proses of getting my license
slicky72 03-29-2009, 09:27 AM I've had this poor thing since 03 but have so many hobbies it only has 18000km on it , most of my riding buds do that in a year.
J Everett 03-29-2009, 12:03 PM Damn you guys! You've got my jealousy peaking!!!!! I've wanted a Ducati Monster or a Triumph Thunderbird for a long time...just no room in the budget for anything like that. Still, bring on the pictures! I love seeing what y'all are riding!
crazyoldcoot 03-29-2009, 01:20 PM I ride a 07 Suzuki SV650. I am thinking about a Triumph Daytona 675 soon though! Here are a couple pics from a motorcycle trip last summer from Phoenix to Denver. See, Harleys and sport bikes can play nice. I even led the group for a while!
gixxersixxerman 03-31-2009, 07:57 PM ok i got a conffesion... im getting a harley

midget28 06-30-2009, 08:54 PM lol I ride plenty just not on 2 wheels. Im in between quads right now though debating on buying another or fixing my 98 scrambler 400 4x4. The 800cc Canam 4x4 looks killer but not sure if I could afford the big bastard.
carrottop432 06-30-2009, 09:15 PM I have a 2007 Yamaha Grizzly 450. I absolutely LOVE that thing. Sure, it's a little slow, but it'll pull like a mofo with it's locking front diff and low range!

What did that run ya Im not really picky just want 400cc+ and 4wd a locking front diff would be cool and my scrambler sucks with crawlin no low range and since most companies have given up on manual shift 4wds which blows except hondas pushbutton shift.

I bought mine at the end of 07, so it was technically almost a year old and it was discounted a little. I think it was about $6000, but I also got the 2 year extended warranty and a winch. Mine is an automatic, which I thought I'd hate but absolutely love it now, and it has pushbutton 4wd with a separate button to lock the front diff, and 4 wheel independent suspension. A friend of mine bought an 07 Suzuki King Quad 450, which has fuel-injection. That thing has a LOT more torque than mine!
The only places I've had my Grizzly get stuck at were my fault. Usually I didn't hit it fast enough. On at least one occasion, I have heard a friend say, "Wow, I didn't think it would go through there... You didn't even have the diff locked?!"

Yeah I either need to trade mine off or fix it and put some vampires on it.

Rode home from work yesterday in a major thunderstorm (severe weather alert broadcast, flashflood warning and all... fun) -- of course it slowed to a drizzle as soon as I pulled into my neighborhood.

Someday I'd like to get a Honda 599, a nice mix between a sport bike and a cruiser, nothing too flashy, more comfortable than a sport bike, fun to ride, unique, plus it's a Honda so it'll last forever. http://www.cyclechaos.com/wiki/images/3/3d/2004-Honda-CB600F-Black-3.jpg

It won't run with the SS liter bikes at the top end, but it will hang in there with them up to about 130. Leaves any lightly modded 600 out there. It's a lot of fun. And the upright bars make it a dream on longer trips. Most fun I can think of @ 40mpg.

Hey is that a 400ex?! I use to have one as well and just got rid of her when I picked up the X. Damn thing was a blast to ride, but I kept on hurting myself everytime I went out on it. LOL it sucks getting old. I just looked at the picture again and noticed that may be a Honda 450R.
