If not... FIRST!  Let's hear it....
What's in your stable?
Have MBS?
Favorite bike owned / ridden?
Favorite roads / trips?
Dream bike / next purchase?
Favorite / most useful farkle / shiny bit?
I've currently got a 2007 V Star 1300: 
- Baron Custom Star Bars
- Kuryakyn Magnum+ Mirrors
- Kuryakyn ISO grips
- Mustang Vintage saddle w/ back rest
- Cobra mini sissy bar
- K&N air filter
- 6in forward controls
Looking to add PC-V and some Cobra Speedster Longs to it, maybe a small windshield. Mostly ride through MD and take some trips up to PA, WV and OC whenever I can get a few days.
Will be adding a R1, S1000RR or 1198 (can't decide yet) to the stable in the next year or so, and absolutely loved the FJR1300 I rode on a demo ride. Do want!

I've since added forward controls, but other than that it's all stock. 1200cc in a 500Lb package, and it's a Harley. these days, it's best feature is 47mpg, but the fun of riding it is a close second.  |

Too much crap to list....
I like riding Northern Ca and the Nevada desert. Hwy 1 on the coast is cool and the Sierra Nevada Mts.
going on 16,000 miles.
What's MBS?
P.S. ^^^^ Beautiful Triumph!

Really just into vintage BMWs and Moto Guzzis. Although, I'd love to get a BMW F800R. Or maybe a Guzzi Norge (for when I have to admit I need a bigger more modern bike for my touring).
I mainly commute and do multi-day tours. I don't do much in between riding.
Here's my next project:
(pic from google. My bike is in boxes, but will look like this when done.)

It falls into the same family of disease as Multiple Bass Syndrome.
Beautiful Triumph and BMWs... *drool*

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: Lafayette, LA | | I picked up a 2003 Honda Shadow Spirit from Craigslist for pretty damn cheap a few months ago. Only 9,000 miles! Had it for sale for $1800 and he couldn't get it running so he dropped it to $1300. I talked him down to $1100. Had a bunch of rust and SUPER pitted extended forks.
Spent maybe 800-900 fixing it up and replacing the front forks from an '08, new stator/regulator/rectifier, fuel filter, float valve jet, carb rework...Maybe a couple of other things. 
It's got Cobra pipes with no baffles, new pegs, mirrors. I've put forward controls on it, got a backrest and suction cup seat waiting to get put on for the gf (Got some quick release bolts because I don't want to ride around with a backrest/sissy bar unless I have to), ordered a new license plate holder with brake lights built in so I can relocate the turn signals and brake light to the back of the bike. When I hang my saddlebags off the sides they smother my brake light and completely cover the bullet style turn signals.
Everything on it I've scored from awesome deals. The 38T rear sprocket I got new along with a guy on a forum selling me a new 120 link chain AND a new front sprocket for $50. All in all I think I've only spent about $2K total. Looking to sell it for $3K when I buy my next new bike. A 2011 Yamaha Stryker.

Currently trying to sell.

Favorite ride is my '72 Triumph TR6, unfortunately down due to an alternator altercation (blew up), but being rebuilt as we speak. Had this one for nearly 30 years 
My son and I like to build Brit bobbers, here's his, (sold) 
Here's mine, (also sold) 
Got another Triumph Bonny in progress. They are more fun to build and sell than to ride (for an old man...)

This is a Yamaha XT660X, very fun bike!  
My father's old bike that I restored few years ago, it's a Sanglas 400 Y 1981 model, it's the last model of a spanish manufacturer, and all this models came with a Yamaha Xs 400 engine. 
I have a Vespa 125 T3 from 1978 and a 1976 Bultaco Frontera 360 MK9, both in process of restoration, sorry no pics
I always love Ducatis, and I like very much the sportclassics models. Keep posting pics of your bikes !

| | Horse getter back onner | | Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: Fredericton, NB Canada | | My '97 Concours in Nov 2009 on the way back up from Maine. Parked at the exact spot where I and it, hit a coyote in '03 at 130 km/hr (80 mph). The bike went 480' down the highway without me. I stopped after 220', and the coyote's last morning sprint. 
Here she is in March '10, a minute ride above our house, St John River below; with the shorty screen I made for summer riding still on (was first ride that year), and many other modifications I did like the front brakes and suspension. Still have to finish off the fairing bottom by fixing tabs and a strip of aluminum trim. Prefer the half-neked and unashamed livery. Great bike for a not so rich and famous bass player. Love this ride, its like a good ol' horse.
