Here is my 2nd Roadking police bike. I have taken that bike out west, down south and up to Maine and Vermont. I had two close calls with deer and many with cell phone talkers. I finally sold it and have a little Kawasaki KLX250s to ride the back roads and fields.
Here's my current steed as I'm only riding dirt at the moment. Sold my CBR600 last summer, I decided I needed to either switch to track days only or sell it, because it was just to tempting to lean it over to the pegs and after 3 crashes and bike rebuilds I think my luck was running out. Might pick up a cheap sport cruiser next year, but until then it's dirt only.
Methinks someone was telling you its time to go cruiser. Similar reason that I no longer drive sports cars that will go 150 MPH and up. If I want speed, I ride a tall roller coaster
Yeah, I was very lucky to get out of those with only a totaled bike and a sprained shoulder. After the last wreck, I watched my bike hit a culvert, flip up in the air over my head and hit a tree about 8' in the air, and land next to me. I rode differently after that, but it isn't much fun to contort yourself to sit on a sport bike to just cruise around, and after a track day I didn't find the fun/cost factor worth it, so it was time for the bike to go. I'm in the middle of adding the needed accessories to the KTM to dual sport it until I save the funds for a cruiser.
Sweet looking bike there! Looks like V&H Big Shots on there. Got those on my 1600 Classic and man they are LOUD and sound awesome !! Actually looking to tone them down this year with different baffles as they really add to my tinnitus that already exists.
Thought so, also looks like a Kuryakyn Hyper Charger. I went with Thunder Air Kit. Thinking of changing that out as well to a different kit.
Yup, that's the hyper charger pro. Also added a dfo so I could adjust the fuel air on the injection. Added the chrome foot pegs and moved them out a bit so my leg would clear the charger. Had the radiator cover chromed and changed the rear tire to a 200.
Well, I forgot to post progress pics and it was a very drawn out process. Here she is finally back together.
How much air you getting in that Smoke?? That ramp behind the bike looks extreme lol Just messin. . Nice Scooter..
I see some people are posting some of the toys they've had besides just bikes, so I thought I'd post a video of the toy I sold to buy the my son's and my bikes.
Just picked this up today. 1985 maxim 700. She's pretty cherry for being 30. Haven't had a street bike in a couple years. My girl was super excited to get it and hop on the back.
Was up @ the local dealer today picking up my supplies for end of season servicing. They were just unloading what was left of a Ninja that came out on the losing end of a meeting with Bambi. Not much bike left. They said the operator was still hanging on......so far. Ride Safe Lads, if it ain't the cagers out to get us, mother nature will give it a try.
