DB605 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Should this tread re-named to "bikes of the flying community"? Anyway, here's mine: At that comment I have to think of this: Nice, i haven't seen this kwak before but i have actually played with the idea of buying old Z1300 and paint it to Ki 61 colours Edited October 17, 2013 by DB605

Le_Garson_De_Pisse Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Hola. Welcome to the party. :-) Ho there, man. Well, regarding personal photos, a promise is a promise, and I promised I would upload one. Sure, I've been unable to drag my wife into a.... uh... "internet photo for 'da masses", so to say (when I asked her to make a bried appearance for an IL-2 Sturmovik forum ... well... she was staring at me... you know,... fire in her eyes, Hell in her face, nothin' less xD ) So, well, whatever, I searched a bit deeper, and I found this one (I'm the one at the right) I don't know the english term for this kind of parties, when you are about to get married, and your friends set up a "be-all-end-all, last-party-you-will-hold-as-a-single". But well, this photo is from such a party xD . Left, one of my buddies. Right, the great disaster I was that night.

Creepermoss Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Well, my bike isn't as fast as some of yours, but I still like it. 1976 Schwinn Stingray Fairlady (yes, it's a girl's bike) with a redline rim/crankset combo and a pair of 48" ape hangars.

Ya know, as opposed to jumping out of them, I haven't broken a bone yet up in the pointie end Costa, I really like the look of that Harley ! Here is my 86 WideGlide. Looking forward to flying with ya'll soon. 2
Lord_Haw-Haw Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Ok then. Here's my GSA: Ts ts ts the only nice BMW motorbike is this one, all the others are too plastic!
71st_AH_Hooves Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 You street bike riders are brave I don't trust other cars. So I go above them
Jason_Williams Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 All these bike pictures makes me miss mine. Jason 1
=BKHZ=Furbs Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 All these bike pictures makes me miss mine. Bike1big.jpg Jason Why have you stopped working?
=BKHZ=Furbs Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 No Jason, why have you stopped working to post pictures in this frivolous thread? I suggest you step away from the fun and get back to what ever important things you were doing before you wasted these valuable, what i can only guess could of been at least 25 seconds, not counting your latest reply. Of course im only joking...sort of.
Fifi Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) That makes my think i'm missing my bike too...had to sell it before migrating here. I build it up f'rom a Dyna Glide base. Edited October 18, 2013 by Fifi
ATAG_Slipstream Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Thats beautiful Fifi, just my kind of bike! I suppose it would be pointless on your island.
HeavyCavalrySgt Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Me for Halloween the other year. If you grew up in the US in the 70s or so you probably get it, otherwise... The reaction of my the people who 'got' it was pretty funny - I was asked to sing the song quite a few times, and I admit I violated a personal rule about not singing around people I like.
mazex Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) when i want fly very low I like it, a lot of cockpit feeling in that "thing" Never seen anything like that in Sweden... And as it really is a covered bike I guess it has performance like an F1 car? And there are a lot of other nice looking bikes in this thread too... I wouldn't mind having Costas bike Edited October 18, 2013 by mazex
HeavyCavalrySgt Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Oops! We are doing bikes now? Well.... The YZ490 does everything well except stopping and turning. It is a very humbling bike to ride. In a few decades of riding, it is the only bike to give me scars. The big XR is much more forgiving. For example, locking the front tire on the YZ is cause for concern. Locking the front tire on the XR is no big deal. Lock it then demonstrate the reaction speed of a half dead tree sloth on Valium? No worries. The YZ will throw me at the scenery faster than any other bike I have ridden for errors in technique, lapses in attention, poor judgement, a bad read of the trail, whatever. My current street bike in during a July snow storm in the Sierras (King's Canyon). After I put the camera away it started to get ugly. My last day in uniform, giving a presentation to a local Mensa group about the history of cavalry from Egypt through the present. They liked playing on the armor afterwards.

SOLIDKREATE Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 I miss my baby too. I'll be buying another very soon. This time maybe a Dyna or a Street Glide
Streiff Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) On the topic of bikes. Loved this one but had to sell it when me and the misses bought our house. Not much of hp`s to brag about but boy was it fun to ride. And the sound coming out of those empty mufflers. Repainted it myself after an incident where the ground jumped up and scratched it, bad form if you ask me. Edited October 18, 2013 by Baron

79_vRAF_Friendly_flyer Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) bikes and real planes are not compatible with being knowcked in the head I used to have a moped that looked a pot like that, a Honda MT-5, looked a bit like this (when new). It was back in the 80's, so all that dayglo was OK. In the end the number of nights I spent having beers at the Uni made it uneconomical to keep the moped.
