Latest ride is an 04 Ultra. 103 ci, custom almost everything motor wise. I used to build motors for a living. Sweet little ride, very very fast for a bagger. Slightly hard on tires though.
It's the teal one on the left side of my wife, she's standing in front of our previous bike. First three bikes, all honda's and from the 60's
Honda 50 step through,
90 trail step through
CL 90 street
Then I hit puberty.

Dogtown, wow you did a great job building that bike!
Can you tell me what motor you put in there, S&S? or what, and did you do all the
electrics from stretch yourself or buy a harness?
Very cool!

Scole, I search Craigslist for a Tiger 955 for awhile. Seems like a great all-around bike. They only made them in one color I don't like, silver, and pretty much all the local ones I found were silver. Oh well.

The new Tigers are different. The bike has been redesigned to be more of a sport touring bike, more upright, higher gearing, not the same bike.
Mine is a 2001, the next to last year for the dual sport Tiger. I have considered selling it, as I don't like freeway riding, so if you are interested email me.

Tim thats one beatiful bike.
Love the fringe Fred.
Chinchen I am interested in the Jacket. PM with the price.
In the 80' I had a Honda Magna; a fast bike, then I went for a Yamaha Verago Vtwin Harley wanna be. In the 90' I got a 1974 Sportster because I could not afford a real Harley. Sold it because the piece of sh#t broke down all the time. Then stopped riding because I would turn into a maniac and almost killed myself too many times on the hwy pushing 100 mph.
After a while I missed riding and bought a Yamaha Maxim 500, a fun bike for around town. But I wanted a bike I could cruise so I also have a 1975 Goldwing. It needs some loving and smokes when I start it up. But its fun. I am going to try and start cleaning it up.
Here is a link to some beautiful bikes:

I tried to download it to this thread but it was too big. If you can't open this link PM me and I'll send you the attachment. They range from the turn of the century to some of the coolest pristine oldies around.
Great thread. I really enjoyed checking out everyones bikes. Definitely on topic!

first 3:
'72 Kawasaki 100 Trailmaster
'85 Honda CB 500
'89 Honda 750 nighthawk
now i ride a 2005 yamaha V star 1100 punched out to 1250 with intake and carb work - its happiest over 85mph, real solid on the road and comfy and reliable for a v twin.
I was torn between that and a sick Yamaha 650 street racer - both about the same price new. I got the cruiser, figuring Id wrap the racer around a tree sooner or later - old age and high speed is a bad combo. The wife was plenty relieved when I came home with the putt-putt.

In 1951 Geoff Duke was in a class of his own. Double world champion that year!

That's some Beezer.
Yesterday at the Gap I was lusting over a Yamaha RZ500, V4 two stroke about 85 hp. In very nice condition and sort of for sale.
Good thing I can't afford it.
I drooled the rest of the afternoon.
