I've been riding since '79. Almost exclusively Japanese in-line fours. The '82-'83 Suzuki GS1100E's are my ATF's - just love the way they look. I currently have three bikes ...

A bone stock '83 GS1100E in factory red ...



A scary fast hot-rodded '83 GS1100E in factory midnight blue ...



And to make my Harley friends happy, an '06 Harley VRSCD V-Rod - in black of course.



I just could never really get into the "traditional" Harleys. I like the V-Rod though - it's kind of the "anti-Harley, Harley" being that instead of having the traditional air cooled 45 degree V-twins that all the other Harleys have, the V-Rod is a fully water cooled 60 degree V-twin. It's fast too, It's making 112 rwhp and can outrun many of the Big-Twins. Maybe that's what I like about it - it's different. 
Cheers!

Yeah, it's called a "top-end oiler", or TEO for short. I have bigger cams in this motor and the TEO increases the oil flow to the cams and valve train.  :slapme5:

Hmmm?? Thought that there would have been a lot more "dual-sport" (cars AND bikes) riders here?? :notsure:

IRON MAN

I ride a Heritage Twin Cam, big bore Screaming Eagle kit with Screaming Eagle big valve heads, 510 Crowler cams, programmable ignition, Vance & Hines exhaust, etc.  Runs like brand new. At 88,000 miles did the Screaming Eagle upgrade (100 hp) Odometer now reads 115,000 miles.

I have had a few bikes thru the years. The most recent is below. I sold it a few years back but now living in Florida I am seriously thinking about getting another bike for some quiet road trips down back roads. Probably can't afford another Harley so a sport bike will be the ticket.

Another V-Rod!! An "A" model?? That's nice ... too bad you sold it ... but you can always get another one!!  :ohyeah:
Cheers!

I recently test rode a 2018 Road Glide Milwaukee "8". Plenty of power. The salesman said the V-rod and DynaGlide were discontinued, never to be offered again. Too bad. I liked both bikes. My neighbor saw it coming and two months ago bought their last 2017 DynaGlide

With just a bike it's one thing hanging off your seat, but with that side-car you better have STRONG hands!!  :yes:

I raced dirt bikes from 10 to 18 and then bought and rebuilt a couple of HD Sportsters.

I had tons of fun on them, kinda surprised i'm still here, there were a lot of crazy times......... :unbelievable:

finally made room for the fat boy in the garage. 

It's 55* so I went for a little ride before parking it back in the garage for the next 4 months.
