Post Pics of You and Your Bikes

You've done flat track races ! Awesome !
I would love to see a race. I find it very impressive.
It seems to me that this discipline doesn't exist in Europe.

I actually started out doing hare scambles and 1/2 mile flat track . Then in about 1968 the Europeans came to the US and brought Moto X with them . We were all amazed at their abilities with a bike . Doing jumps and covering rough ground and whoopty dos with speed and ease . Meanwhile never sitting on the bike but standing on the pegs the entire 45 minute race . We were astounded at guys like Torsten Hallman from Norway on a Husqyarna and Joel Robert and Roger DeCoster riding CZs . We didn’t have anybody that could come close to them . It was a great time and a great learning experience .

The KTM hasn't had much use lately, since I bought this. Santa Cruz 5010, can't get enough, determined to shift this weight and be able to buy jackets that fit again!

We have speedway instead! My favourite sport.

The cb650r I bought new in June hasn't worked out unfortunately. Its bland and characterless, needed to face facts and move it on before winter. Going back to my all time favourite bike, triumph speed triple, looking forward to delivery 5/9/2021. I'm not selling this one,

So after paying monthly scooter rental for over a year I realized that I could have used the money to just buy a bike. So I did. My first manual bike, a 200cc Honda Tiger custom. I have to get used to the clutch and the size but it’s considerably more fun to ride one of these than a scooter

Oh yes ! I've seen some adds about these eMotorcycles and I found them very attractive too ! Never seen one for real in France for the moment, but they look awesome !

2012 Harley Street Glide with 22K miles. I Bought it new but my riding has slowed down in recent years. Top photo is in the TX hill country near Austin TX. Bottom photo is Galveston TX. The body of water beside me is the Gulf of Mexico. Wearing a leather vest instead of a jacket… hope that counts. Great post with some really fine scooters.

Never had one back in the day. Did have the Original Green Machine though.

Too big for the Green Machines they put out a while back.

If I ever learn to weld I might knock one up...

Bringing back some memories . My first bike was a 1967 Triumph Bonneville. I loved that bike . It was that silver blue Triumph color . I paid $700.00 for it used . At the time it was a reach to save up all that money . By today’s values it was about half the cost of a new Good Wear
I eventually sold it for money for my first Harley . An XLCH Sportster with an air brushed dessert scene on the tank .View attachment 56180

Nice. Had a 76 ironhead sportster. Sold it 2 years ago and not in bikes anymore. As a comparison on the Bonny, my brother just bought a 70 650, all original in excellent condition. 10000 Canadian.

Wow… !
$10,000 Canadian = $7658.00 US
The price of a vintage Triumph has certainly gone up. I wish I would have kept that 67 Bonneville but the Lucas electrical system just drove me nuts

Just saw this. I didn't know you were into motorcycles. I started riding off-road, motocross, and some enduros in 1975 so a little after you, but that early period of motocross in its infancy, with all of the innovation and true factory works bikes was an amazing time to be involved with the sport. The thing I always wanted to try was speedway.
