Nice ride.

I use to ride had at least onebike from the Age of 8 until mid-30s . Raced some motorcross ,a bit of Drag and road racing as well. When I had my Kid it just got to crazy here in the City so I dumped them all.

I still get the itch real bad some days. I think when I get her through College I'll be right around the 50 mark and no better time for a mid-life crisis to get another.

Oh and I started with a 5hp Rupp Stars and strips, several JT series60cc,80cc , Then moved to Yz125, Street GT250 ,GS450e,GS550es,GSX750R,700 Mandura, Back to dirt with a Rm250 and Cr250R. traded my CR and Mandura in for a Standup jetski that I raced as well.

Nice ride. I just have a Suzuki Boulevard S50 for around town. The problem is too many people on cells or text messaging want to turn me into a speed bump.

Had five bikes when I was youger. From a Lambretta scooter, honda 150 honda 350, triumph 650 to a Harley Davidson 1200cc
Moving here six years ago and seing those winding roads, the seashore and mountains got me to buy another bike. A Kawasaki Vulcan Classic 800 cc 2001 so I could ride around here.

I love my 2006 Suzuki Boulevard C90. Its a great bike for more than 20 miles at a time and comfortable. I also have a 2008 Kawi Z100 I love to zoom around on. Ill post pics later. I look funny on the sport bike though because im a whopin 300 pounder. Oh well.

I have a 2004 Honda ST1300. Bought it new and have put ~50k miles on it. We just recently acquired a 2000 Buell Blast for my wife's first bike. That thing truly is a "blast" to ride! After about a year on that, she wants to upgrade to a new Yamaha FZ6r. I'm not sure we'll be able to part with the Blast at that time, though; probably have to keep it around just for kicks.

I'm in serious thoughts to buy it after some years and when I'll start getting bored from my varadero. Till then Varadero and only that.

I always wanted a Honda ST 1300!

I love that thing. I've riden it to 31 states. It's been a good combination of pack mule/long hauler/twistey carver for me. Mind you, though, after riding that thing, my wife's bike (which weighs almost half as much as the ST with a full tank of gas) feels like it's made of paper. ;)

PS: Come next month, I'll actually finally own the ST outright. No more payments!!! I should have a party for her.
