Does anyone else ride? If so, post pictures of yer bikes.

Here are mine:

The green bike is a '67 Triumph Trophy 650. I bought this bike from my grandfather and am the third owner.

The blue one is a 2010 Triumph Bonneville. That one was my mid-life crisis.

That Triumph is sweet. I'd love to get a bike, maybe once I sell my truck.

I had no idea you were a bike guy. That Trophy looks amazing. The family provenance makes it even cooler. I unfortunately am bikeless. I'd love an early Bonneville or even an early 70's Norton one day. High maintenance, but they just look so damn cool.

The Trophy is a 20 foot bike. 20 feet away, it looks really sweet. Up close, you can tell it is 50 years old.

I'm having a few throttle issues, right now, but otherwise it runs like a champ. Those old bikes just want to be run -- mine is a 2 or 3 kick cold and 1 kick warm.

Nice bikes. Triumphs are just pure class.

I was into vintage Vespas for years. So much fun, but after being t-boned by a rich asshole in a Range Rover - and losing several friends to bike accidents - I lost my taste for two-wheels.

Instead, I've stuck with my long hobbie of American muscle cars. They eat up plenty of spare change.

Have fun and be safe.

You know I have always wondered if you were a motorcycle fan ever since I discovered Knucklehead Harley bikes. I love bikes like this I'm just too much of a wimp to ride one.

I had a Sportster for awhile. Sold it when I had the boy coming. The guy that bought it promptly died on it. Mangled the bike in a bad way.

I have an old Honda Nighhawk 450 in the garage I keep telling myself I am gonna cafe out. Done little more with it than look at it and move it around as I do things in the garage. haha.

I kept waiting for Diana to come in here to post pictures of her Scraper Bike.

I'm disappointed.

Barry -- that must be a pretty creepy feeling, about your old Sportster. I know that I'd be creeped out.

And you should definitely get the Nighthawk project started.
