Nice pics man.

Here's some recent ones. It's me on my late dads roadglide.

I now own a 2007 Road Glide, a 2004 Electra Glide, and a 1999 Springer, all heavily customized.

There's nothing sexy about a ninja 250

Actually I agree with that statement... The 2008 model is much better looking than before. The remodel was needed badly as the 07 and earlier have looked the same for 20 years. I don't mind that it is one of the uglier sport bikes though, cause every time I ride it I smile at least once.

Cool bikes Zeste.

Except everything about it.

Rode a co-workers Harley Buell 1125R I felt like I was 10 pounds on that beast and hit 120 on the freeway before I realized it. Nice bike but no one needs that much power. Damm fun though.

Nice! It was pretty cool?

I just bought a Harley-Davidson Night Train. I pick it up in Atlanta, GA in a week (anyone there? I'll be there Sunday night looking for fun). I'm so pumped to get it, I've already started ordering a ton of shit for it.

Yeah was badass just glad I didn't get something like it. All that extra cash for an engine you won't use. He himself has only been up to 120 or so, my understanding that thing redlines at 220ish...fuck that.

No one needs more than a 250CC engine on a bike, or to have one that can go faster than 80mph. That doesn't mean we shouldn't .

My bikes measure in cubic inches... so...

110 to be exact.

edit: did a calc
Answer: 110 in³ = 1802.577 cm³
1800cc wooooooooo

Fair nough, my 600 would still destroy any of your bikes!

I know a family who owns a Honda shop, and about a week ago their son died on a crotch rocket, going wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too fast and a car pulled out in from of him. 17 years old. I think it's too young to give someone a crotch rocket.

Regardless, I'm glad I'm getting a cruiser, I'm still too immature to have a quick bike again. I'm lucky to have survived my two years on a crotch rocket.

Speed limit here is above 80mph...have fun being passed by big rig after big rig and being blown off the road.

My 250 does 80-90 just fine and that whole blown off the road shit is retarded. The big 1000CC engines aren't that much heavier then then smaller ones. If your not retarded cross winds won't be more then an annoyance.

Oh and my dick is bigger, since I seem to have entered that contest as well.
