I figure there are some motorcycle guys/gals on CP, so I thought we could have a place to talk all things Motorcycles.

Cheapest I've found my Michelin Commander II's. Seem like they have good prices on other brands too. http://www.jakewilson.com - Free 3 day shipping on orders over $75 [Reply]
Just broke 1000 miles on my new Fat Bob... love this bike... Only problem is it's the only DYNA model that has virtually no customization parts... that's frustrating. [Reply]
Being a smaller guy (under 6') I had bought a Yamaha R6/S. Quick responding torque bike.
Regretting selling it I am now looking more for a cruising bike. Im 5'6" and its tough to find a good looking cruiser where I dont feel dwarfed riding it.
Sat on a couple Triumphs Thruxton and Bonneville. Then I went and sat on a Harley 48. That will probably be my next bike for casual rides to the beach, a yearly trip to the keys and a couple days a month to work [Reply]

love the retro styling of this bike, it has that classic cafe racer look. [Reply]

Warner had reached 296 mph during a previous run before losing control and crashing off a paved runway yesterday at the former Loring Air Force Base in Limestone, Maine. Warner was conscious following the accident, though he died at a local hospital about an hour and 15 minutes later, said Tim Kelly, the race director for the land speed competition known as The Maine Event.

Yeah, this thing is made for cruising or traveling. Handles much better than the last bike, too. And cruise control is wonderful. :-)
no only is your old bike mucho like what I'm riding now (post 142)....but you just bought what I want. that bike is BAD ASS! good on ya.
I'll bet my helmet is cooler than yours though! :-)
GO BLUE!
PS - I've had this for years and I almost NEVER see other helmets painted to match a team. it's a GREAT idea.....and nobody does it. [Reply]
