1982/3/4 Yamaha 650 Heritage Special (don't remember the exact year, but around there somewhere)
1994 Honda 1100 Shadow

I miss the 650. Ex-girlfriend got ticked that I was hanging out at a buddies house instead of coming straight home after work. She tracked me down and ran over the bike with her pickup while it was parked in my buddies driveway. Women, sheesh!

Bob- was that 650 one of those vibrating pigs like mine? I remember mine rumbled like a wannabe harley........seat was hard as a rock and after 15 miles, I couldn't feel my butt anymore.

That be it!! After a couple hundred miles, I'd get off of it and my hands, etc would be numb! A great across-town bike, but rough for any distance. Always seemed to need one more gear! I had pretty close to 100K on it. Rode it all year long, even in a little snow (I was young and foolish). Electric and kick start, by the way.

The Shadow is a much nicer ride, except when cold rain water puddles in the cushy seat! :4_11_9:

Sounds about right! I've seen others with a softer seat but mine was basically equivalent to a peice of lumber with 1/2 inch of padding on it. It put a milder version of ape hanger handlebars on mine and had the foam paded handlegrips just to lessen the vibrations. I remember one time I had mistakenly left the ignition on which killed the battery. When I went to kick start it, I discovered that my kickstart wouldn't catch fully. The familly jewels have never really recovered from that episode!:smileywac

Looking at RedRockers pictures, he must buy crappy film or he is really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really old.

I didn't include my '78 Pacer Moped. Not really a motorcycle and you'd all probably just laugh at me.


You're laughing, aren't you? Stop.


Ok, ok, you can stop now.


No, really. I mean it. Stop!


Ah, come on!

Back when my skin [and skull] were thicker, I [once and once only!] rode a worn out CB350 from Sioux Falls to Rapid City. I got there, barely, but it sounded like a weedeater on wheels at 70mph across I90. I actually enjoyed the same trip on a CX500, but still a bit weak for the task. I finally got a Suzuki 1000, which had the power, but too tempermental, so I said no more bikes 'till I can afford a Harley.....still waiting!

Moped????? :pat: That's pretty much equivalent to a "Kristi". Just a wannabe in the motorcycle world. Just like a Kristi is a wannabe in the snowcat world.

Moped says: "When I grow up, I'm gunna be a harley!"

Kristi snowcat says: "When I grow up, I'm gunna be a Tucker!"

Actually Mopeds are cool! Used to have one!
