Anybody else ride motorcycles? Post them here.

[Stalker_AG]

I have a KTM 690 Enduro R (same as the Husky 701) love it to bits...

But, in all honesty... I think it's time to sell it. I only ride it once or twice a year!!!

My Enfield Bullet back in india

That's a beaut. Did you bring it back?

Have ridden continuously since I was 17. After borrowing a number of Yamaha FS1Es I started with a Kawasaki Z250 Scorpion (as opposed to the KH250), then a Kawasaki Z650 F (written off in an accident, but which amazingly I saw again when stopped at a set of traffic lights some 15 years later!!), followed by a ZX6R, followed by a ridiculously fast ZX9R and then an Aprilia Tuono Factory (awesome bike, best enjoyed at very high speed) followed by a KTM Super Duke 990 (fun but lethal) then an overlap with an Aprilia Dorsoduro 1200ABS (stupidly limited tank range), and now the BMW S 1000R Sport which is possibly the finest engineered bike I've ever owned (perhaps not surprising as it is the newest). Riding less and less these days due to lack of time rather than enthusiasm.

Those BMWs are some weapons that’s for sure.

managed to finish my bike and enjoy the sun today

Not mine just yet. But the GL500 in the foreground could be mine soon. Needs some TLC and fabrication to get it finished.
I have had various off road bikes. But avoided taking my bike license, as I probably wouldn’t be here. The way I used to ride, was definitely better off the public highway.

Here's a couple of mine

A couple of mine, I like opposables.

 

[Powler]

2019 sold the ZX9 and bought a FJR1300 to do some touring in Europe, managed to get a long weekend trip to tour the battlefields of the Somme but no long tours (Italy etc) happened yet due to Covid. Fitted a Givi rack and top box and a dual horn as the standard FJR one sounds like a duck being strangled. Looking to change the end cans to a set of Delkevic tri ovals but still need to convince myself to part with the cash.
Did have a D&D can on the ZX9, sounded great but not really the right sound for the FJR I think.

Not sure if many people on here play games, if you dont and maybe you miss riding this wont cure the itch but bloody hell RIDE 4 is a great game for at least a bit of motorbike fun.
Look at the quality of the graphics.

Very realistic. My butt was clenching on a few of those bends!

Its a great game, it can be very difficult though.

No no it’s still back home. I wanted to but without a garage I don’t want to

When you ride old bikes, it's the one community where the phrase "I'll just tickle my carburettor..." never seems out of place

Fcuk that for a game of soldiers, one tiny error from anyone and you could well be history.
I only had one accident along time ago (18) on a Thunderbird, it was my own fault and eventually cost me a left below knee.
