^^^What, no kickstand???^^^
I just saw this thread for the first time. I think it's great to find people with similar hobbies, even better to find people with multiple similar hobbies. I've been riding since I was 13 and have had quite a few bikes over the years. Motorcycling is my number one passion (followed by vintage audio, of course).
My current stable consists of a 2008 Yamaha WR250R dual sport and 2009 Triumph Tiger 1050. I recently sold a 2012 Yamaha Super Tenere and will be picking up a 2015 BMW R1200GS Adventure in the next couple months.
Here's the WR. (It looks much cleaner in the pic than it does now):
Here's the recently departed Super Tenere:
Here's me on the Tiger at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven Michigan:
Here's the soon-to-be-mine GS Adventure:

Wow! Those look like big dirt bikes.
What do you keep in the suitcases?
How far is the Starbucks from your house?
Aren’t you hot in that track suit?
(I have owned 2 BMW gs’s, a V-Strom and currently have a Super Tenere. I was just funnin’ with you
Currently #1 on my fantasy list. Supposed to be in dealers by February. Our local dealer allows test rides. I could be in trouble. Serious trouble...

The most astonishing thing about the all new 2018 Goldwing is that the vast majority of existing Wing owners hate it. Absolutely hate it. It is much sleeker and lighter, down 90 pounds from the '17, and believe it or not it's over 100 pounds lighter than a Harley Ultra. Gas tank is smaller, and, worst of all, the luggage space is down from 150 L to 110 L. The old Wing owners are saying it's no longer the worlds best long distance touring bike, it's now a hipster millennial sport tourer.
Well, I couldn't be more excited about it. The list of features and functions is beyond amazing. Can't wait to ride it.
I've gone cross country with considerably less luggage space and a smaller gas tank. I wouldn't consider it a negative, it's a built in excuse to stop more often!!! I'm sure I'd love it too but I think I'll stay "dumb and happy" and not ride one for ten years or so!
I'm with you. I did 7,000 miles in three weeks this past May/June, and I'm a firm believer in "Turn it inside out and wear it again!"
Lil cycle....also have a 04 yz 125. 90 rm250. Honda CT 70. Suzuki RV 90. Honda CT 90. 95 yz80 and a rutman goose 3hp
...Often my wife has asked me, in recent years mostly, "when are you going to grow out of riding motorcycles?" and I tell her, 'when I can't hold one up anymore!'.
Already used it to downsize from a Honda VTX-1800F to an Indian Scout.I am so stealing this.
