Scot_Lover 1,878 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Thinking of going antisocial and getting a Hogly Davidson, I can see myself on this one: It wouldn't be ridden much, only when the ladies are away. They know that I used to be a biker, don't know how they would feel about it, lol. Can I call it a mid life crisis and get away with it? Link to post
Sunshine108 174 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I don't own one, but one day I hope. I love Indian motorcycles! But I will purchase an aircraft before a bike for sure! Link to post
Scot_Lover 1,878 Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Too many hills for an airplane here, I'd have to leave it miles away. The VRod would look good in the lounge room, a subtle conversation starter. Just kidding, I have a place in the garage where it will fit. Link to post
steve25805 126,156 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Haven't owned any motorcycles since I was a young man in the 80s, and I mostly owned second hand, 70s vintage ones back then. I owned a Suzuki GT185, looked a bit like this...... And I owned one of these. A Yamaha RD100..... Both were of course quite small two strokes. Back then I also knew a biker friend who had a garage full of bikes, so I often rode his. Fastest and biggest one he ever lent me was one of these, a Suzuki GT500.... I think it was the biggest two stroke on the road at the time. Most engines of that size tended to be 4 strokes. It was quick, but the fuel consumption always seemed a bit high...... I get a twinge of nostalgia when I look at these pics. 1 Link to post

glad1 2,834 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Steeve, they look like Triumph! Old school bikes, I love it! Some years back I used to have an "old school" Triumph. Like any good British bike of its day, it had the antisocial tendency of dripping oil, especially in the poshest neighborhoods. It also vibrated like crazy whenever I got up to highway speed, so my kidneys always got a great workout. Riding it was always a race to see who would first spring a leak, me or the bike.
