I know a lot of us still enjoy our two wheelers. What two wheeler do you currently ride and why do you ride what you do?

2006 Yamaha Stratoliner S two-tone Burgundy and Black....

I like the POWER (it will run with a GL1800 all day long) and I like the style. It's low to the ground so my old knees and hips don't have to work too hard...
 
I always keep at least one backup bike for when the Harley is in the shop. :AGGHH: I have a '85 KL650 Enduro that I mostly stay within a couple hundred miles of home with. Also have a '73 CB750 springer chopper up on blocks that I have been "working" on for years. Hasn't been road worthy in a while.
 
2009 BMW F800ST.... A sport tourer that is light (under 500lbs) very flickable. Great gas mileage 57 mpg. Use it for traveling back and forth to work. It's name is the "Blue Bitch". Fun bike to ride one up.
 
I have a 2006 Ultra Classic which used to by my Touring bike until I got my Triglide. Now the Ultra is my around town play toy. This winter I plan on pulling the present 95" engine which I built back in 2007 and building a 120", got to have something to tinker with in the winter.
 
Got a few...
1974 BMW R90 w/side car.
1966 HD Shovelhead
1975 HD Shovelhead
2003 Indian Scout
2005 HD Nightrain
Would have more, but no more ROOM! Two trikes (FLHXXX and Kawa Storm) take up ROOM!
 
Gave the old 1985 Shadow to my oldest.
Wife has an XL1200L. I really do not enjoy riding that at all.
So now a days the TG is the only one I have, and I am happy that I can ride that!
 
My wife sure misses our trike:(

I am enjoying riding a Softail Deuce. I will stay on 2 wheels for as long as I can.

If the time comes, I will go back to a trike:D
 
The Softail Deuce is a great bike to buy and ride.

It actually saves me a lot of $$$$.

If you are trying to find accessories or aftermarket parts, your selection is not very good.

Everything made will list all models that the part will fit. They always add a disclaimer at the end that states: EXCEPT DEUCE.

Not buying accessories is the only thing my bride likes about my new bike:mad:
 
2008 HD FXSTB Night Train. Custom paint. Skulls over black. V&H shorties. V&H Fuel Pak. Ported and polished heads. Cams. Arlen Ness Big Sucker breather. All lower controls blacked out. 1 & 3/4 custom drag bars, 10 up and 4 back. All upper controls chromed. All lines replaced with ss braid. Custom seat from the Harley Seat program. Stealth tail light.

I ride it because it suits my personality. LOL, And yes, I do dress like a pirate to ride.

'98 FLSTF (Fatboy) 80" w/ an assortment of non-stock goodies. Cam, Carb, Pistons, Ignition, and V-H Pro Pipe. Runs good enough for an old man..........
PS>>Old Pic doesn't show V-H Pro Pipe.........

Hey there Ol' Man!! Thanks for the info about the tour box relocator and the lift for the rear end on the 3 wheeler!! That's something that I'm sure we'll be looking into!!

Good to hear from you..............RIDE SAFE N KEEP THE WIND IN YOUR FACE.. ThumbUp
 
My 2 wheeler is a Road King Classic because it reminds me of the old panhead I had in the late 60's.
I like the way it looks and feels.

Here's some pics of both the Harley and my trike ........

I have a Kaw, 6n for a backup. Really needed it for my last Trike [reverse]
So far i don't need it since i got the Tri. Still i jump on it every now and then, I just can't get riding two wheels out of my system.
 
My HD 3 wheel conversion trike, keeps good company. 2003 Big Dog ~ Pit Bull & 2006 American Iron Horse ~ LSC Both ridgid frame with S&S motors. Guess I never got over the "chopper" look.
 
[/ATTACH]because I am a Torchman and I just dig the flames. The bike represents my company logo. We specialize in steel Demolition. Our slogan is "IF IT`S STEEL WE CAN WRECK IT" . How much more fun can you have than wrecking stuff with fire.
