2007 street bob

rode 100 miles total last sunday and today :D :D :D

glad i have a buddy from work around the corner who rides :cool:

2010 Street Glide. Flat Black. 300 miles on Thursday. Unfortunately 300 miles total for all of May! Gotta get out more.

2009 Suzuki 650 v-strom, 411 miles last Sunday and just turned 17,000 total.

Haven't been riding a whole lot this year but I made up for it over the weekend.

2004 FLHR. Rode up to J&P Cycles in Anamosa, Iowa and stopped to visit a friend in Tipton. 552 miles total for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

We had perfect weather and lots of fun. Back at work today.

2005 Victory Vegas. Have about 800 miles on in so far since we had such a mild winter. Tomorrow 3 friends an I leave for Texas for a week, about 1300 miles one way.

1996 Honda VFR750. Currently 720 miles this year, 8200 TOTAL.

Just detailed my 2007 Electra Glide with
12,500 miles on the clock. My 3rd Electra
Glide and my 5th Harley. In between every
brand you can think of most notibly Moto
Guzzi. We have ridden most of the Eastern US.
I am 70.

fred, please tell us more about your other notable two-wheel history. You could tell us about your spydies too since you appear to have been around the forum for a while.

OK here goes:
Began riding in 1956 on a new Cushman Eagle financed by my paper route. Later traded up to a Triumph Tiger. Went into the Navy and served aboard a destroyer. Came out of that and
bought a new 1966 Suzuki X6 Hustler. Later an XLCH Sportster. You have probably never heard of Sporster leg on a kicker but I have it. Later got a Moto Guzzi T3 FB and ride it for ten years along with a Suzuki 850 GS which I rode to Kansas and back and to the Carolinas in a hurricane. After a Superglide and 3 Electra Glides I bought a new Moto Guzzi Lemans which
I just sold to a guy in Dallas. We have toured most of the East coast on the Electra Glides from NH and South.

I collected Case knives most of my life and then Buck came out with a revolutionary SS blade. After that it was Bench Made and then the Spyderco Wegner. I was hooked and probably
have owned 100 Spydercos since. They just keep getting better. My latest knives are the Phoenix, the DoDo, the Balance, the Leafstorm etc. The YoJimbo is on pre-order.

Thanks for asking. Jerry

Bimmer R 1150 GS/Adventure mod
riding all year through, ATTGAT, sometimes winter wont last long so im on it all year!

2007 Vulcan 900, just rolled past 10,000 miles.

Nice to see the wonderful mix of riders we have on the forum.

'02 Honda VT750 Shadow A.C.E. It's nearly stock, but I'm working to solve that problem.
Not much riding this year yet (been working out of town and it's been raining otherwise...) but I finally did some dent/crack repairs from ages ago that I haven't had time to fix, and I ordered a set of hard bags... I have to stop looking at lights and accessories; even if I buy stuff that's not "billet" "CruuzerKrome" or "Hand-machined" expensive, I still don't have enough hours in the day to do all the mods I want...

Me and the Mrs on our way to Sturgis last year:

I sold my Harley Nightster last year when an offer too good to refuse came up and I genuinely thought I'd have a newer Aprilia Dorsoduro in my garage this summer. The motards really get me going... Instead, I got bubkiss and now I'm reading this thread thinking I'm a real schmuck. Unless some crazy deal comes up I'll go bikeless this summer with the sellers in my area really highballing prices being "in season" and all.

I ride a 2011 Yamaha V-star 950. I commute on it now so between that and the weekeends I ride about 400+ miles a week. :D
