Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have


The thread about what AudiogoNers drive is fun to see, but I was wondering what kind of motorcycles are represented by the crazy people here? I know this has been discussed a little on other threads, but If we can slip this by the censors, it might be fun.

I have a Victory V92C. It's a few years old now, but it still a fun cruiser!

What about you?

Started with a Honda trailbike in mid-60's, to Scrambler, to Bultaco Pursang, BSA Victor (for TT - loved that bike), BSA Lightning (simultaneously w/Yamaha 360 factory Enduro), heavily-tweaked Super Sport in late 70's. Now thinking about picking up either another Lightning or Norton Commando for a re-do...
I'm with Marco... Favorite roads were Highway 49 in northeast CA thru the Mother Lode country from Plymouth all the way down to Twainharte; Highway 89 over to Nevada, 32 out thru Whiskeytown and into the Trinity wilderness. Used to enjoy 84 in SoCal over to Lake Elsinore and rides thru Topanga but too many wanna-be cafe racers and newbie Harley riders these days...now in NW I'd like to ride Hwy 2 over Stevens Pass and 12 over White Pass...
Nrchy, I keep revisiting this thread because I get a kick seeing what you younger guys are riding these days - as do the other Agoners who lurk here. You can see my bike list somewhere above. When I lived in Laguna Beach about a decade back, my 60 yo neighbor went out and bought a new Ducati, making me and the other 40+ yo's quite envious. Bob had the bike about two months before he laid it down on Laguna Canyon road at about 60 mph on a rainy day. He managed to avoid serious injury and sold the bike as soon as it was fixed. That episode wasn't lost on my usually indulgent wife.

So, no two-wheelers for me at this point of the journey. But my tweaked E46 M3 handles almost as well as my Super Sport did, goes verrrrrry fast and, when it starts to rain, I can put the top up. Still, I really enjoy bikes and would like to take a ride on a contemporary superbike.

I will be at CES so if Agon bikers decide to ride in I'd love to see your machines.

Enjoy the holidays and see you LV.
