Default Let's see your Motorcycle
Post pics of your 2 (or 3) wheels here.

Spring is here and pleasant weather is optimum in the Carolinas for riding motorcycles. Looking forward to riding more often now that we've entered a new season. Already planning with those I ride with our first 4 day trip of the year in May.

First bike in 1968 -- my dad brought it back from Panama aboard a USCG Cutter (along with 11 other coasties -- they all had too much to drink and all bought bikes before reboarding for the return trip -- used it to deliver papers on my paper route in the wee hours w/no license). This is my 9th bike to date & have had it since 2008. Of all previous bikes, the best riding, handling, and comfortable (once stock seat was replaced) bike I've owned. Plenty of skeedaddle -- 152 at 9500rpm.

What I love about it is the ABS brakes and cruise control. Cruise Control is heaven on a bike.

Bob

This is my 2004 Road King Classic which I really enjoy. As Bob mentioned, the weather in North Carolina is great for riding right now. This is my third touring bike, all being HD's.
