Toyota's been trying to kick their bland mobile image as of late. Of course, if they'd make non-boring cars and drop beige as a color option...

YES! Bring back the turbo Supra and the MR2, and turn the FJ Cruiser into a real offroad vehicle with removable top and true roll cage; and not a postal delivery-looking vehicle with fancy tail lights.

This is my newest, a 1981 R100CS with over 50k on it.

This shows them all together, '67 R27, '68 R69US, '72 R60/5, and the CS.

Sweet looking Beemers!

Sold off a bunch in the past few years, but the best all-around & low-maintenance bike I've ever had is still here, currently in Winter-mode...1991 Honda CB-750 Nighthawk.

Those Honda CB's are GREAT all-around bike.
A friend of mine is still motoring around Maryland on a '79 CB 750.

The Venture looks awesome, especially for having a 130,000 miles on it. It says alot for their V-four engine.

Where do I start?



My Horton Heat BMW K1....

What is with the Horton logo ripping off Norton Motorcycles logo?

A couple of my first bike, an 1980 CB75K. Should have never sold it. She was cherry. I bought it from a guy who had bought it new, rode it for two years then put in in storage for 19 years. He then took it out, rebuilt the shocks / breaks and carbs. Rode it for 3 weeks and bought a Harley. I got it from him for $1000. Didn't know what I had. Sold her when I moved from IL to MA, figuring I could just buy another like her when I got here. I haven't seen anything close to her under $4000. (I got $1400)

My 93 Shadow VT1100, Sold a few years back. Kind of miss her at times but she really was a "under 50MPH" bike. Highway driving beat the hell out of me and guzzled gas. The 4 speed gear box never seemed to have a 'good' gear for any speed other than 35MPH.

One of my current FZ6's, 2004 Power Commander, Scorpion Exhaust, 35 MPG.

My other Current FZ6, 2006 Leo Vince Carbon Exhaust. 50 MPG. Seriously considering removing the power commander and Scorp Exhaust from blue bike. This photo is old. She now sports the same AXIO trunk that blue bike sports (Black) and a similar Corban seat.

oooohhhh.. you have the Corbin seat on yours. I've been wanting one for mine, but I put a Corbin on my Roadstar and my wife HATES it... way too narrow between the backrests, and the passanger part is too short to use the Yamaha backrest with. Too much room between the back of the seat and the backrest. i LOVE it on the Roadie though...

SO, my wife isn't so keen on dumping a crap load of cash on another Corbin after she wasn't happy with the other seat.

I wish you lived closer, or I could find someone in this area that has a Corbin on their Venture so she can try it and see if it would be more to her liking..

I pulled the seat off my Venture and cut out all the soft foam in the middle and filled it with a hard foam and carved it to fit me, but I still ain't so happy with it... It went from about a 100 mile a day seat to a 200 mile seat... I want a good 500 mile seat...

Me and the wife have been riding for almost 35 years together and these are two of the most fun bikes we have ever owned.Hers is a 2006 xr650 and mine is a 2006 klr 650.These are very versatile and work well here in western Oregon where we live.

Here's my last bike, '01 K1200LT. It was fun but an ass buster, even after installing a Bill Mayer custom saddle. On my last decent trip (8800 miles/18 days) my ass hurt before day one ended and still hurt a month after I got back!!! I miss my GL1100 Wing, short on power for my taste (though so is the BMW) and way short on handling compared to the beemer but comfortable and dependable. I think I'll find a nice old wing again and go trippin' in comfort, I miss that, along with caving.
