I've always had a thing for them....and guys who ride them.

I really love motorcycles. Always have.

Indian (Chief and Scout) Love em.
Harley-Davidson (EL and WLA) Love em.


Triumph (Bonneville T100 and Scrambler) Sweet British Bikes.

Moto Guzzi (V7) this have a lopping engine feel like the V-Twin Harleys and Indians
Ducati (Diavel and Monster - 1199 Panigale S) these are sweet bikes, very comfortable, the Panigale isn't a
comfy bike as it is designed for race - not long in the saddle road trips.

Honda (CB1100 (discont.)- Shadow, CRF250L Dual Sport) The ll00 is a retro (I remember the originals) shadow is a nice
affordable cruiser, the dual sport is a nice and very affordable dual purpose bike capable of 73 mpg.

Suzuki (99 Hayabusa) Downright nasty fast.

I like them black or red or combo black w/red trim
The white is bearable on the Hondas

Modern Harleys are ridiculously expensive, all about show. Not particularly impressed with the yuppy following
and attitudes - I love the OLD 30s-40s and older iron, though.
Not sure what to make of the new Indian. It looks very promising, but time will tell.


When it comes to fast, the isl of man is a great venue to demonstrate both man and machine
Doggone 322!

I like the ones that look like dirt bikes. Or maybe they are dirt bikes. Anyways, they are all rugged and sexy

^^^ the little CRF250 above is a great little rig with great fuel economy just the thing to ride out
to places with a Cannon or Nikon Camera, or a Telescope for night time star gazing in the mountains.
Just add luggage rack.
It IS a bit tall for some riders, but they have lowering kits.
It IS a light bike.
I am really leaning toward one of these.

They are pretty fun, But ill wait till my frontal lobes are developed.

I prefer push bikes anyway.

Those downhill bikes really ARE cool.
I'd have to scale back a bit and keep it dual purpose though with multi-sprocket crank. (not the spring birdie I used to be) - Love the Fox Suspensions that new stuff is great! - would have have to do research and build my own bike. (2007, I rat-rodded a couple of bikes in the past, but couldn't get the suspension on my Specialized frame. Made due with suspension seat post though - the other was a 1954 Schwinn cruiser frame I dug up out of the dumpster in 80-81(?) A great street downhill racer! The Pinnarello Prince, Wilier Cento, Scott Niner (MTB), a lot of great stuff out there compared the old iron with a LOT of high tech Carbon Fiber, Aluminum, Gearing options.... Disc brakes... cool stuff. - but back to a trail bike, I'd be looking for something with suspension, gearing, and
other goodies. One Accessory that you simply cannot do without is a Jeep Rubicon.... paint it black!. lol. 😉

Oh yes.... I like to tinker with stuff...

I'm not that good at riding motorcycles (tend to tip them over on myself) so I stick to horses....BUT, this is where I grew up riding, all my guy friends were into motocross. Ricky Johnson and Jeff Ward used to ride out here in Reche Canyon. This is one of the newer dirt bike progidies to discover it (and was shot behind my parents' house).

Can't show off CA without a good bit of Glamis sand dunes. One of my favorite places to get pics of just about everything. And in the off season it's wonderfully empty.
