Bikes, who's got um
« on: October 18, 2010, 05:57:30 PM »
I ride an 05 night train. I know now that Joel rides.........

Who else out there is a 2 wheeler? Write it up and let us all know what you got.

Me: 2005 Black Cherry Harley Davidson Night Train. Alot of custom work to stock parts. I dont get off on buying alot of parts, but because I powdercoat...... alot of the stock parts are now not so stock. All black infact. Some flat, some gloss, some wrinkle. Just a little touch of me here and there to make it mine. Dont ride it as much as Id like to because of all the dang work, but she's got about 7000 miles on her.

Repost from previous thread:

I ride an old 1996 (first year they made 'em) Yamaha Royal Star - the grandfather of the Star line of bikes.  She's black & tan, 1300 cc, V-4, shaft drive, four pipes all the way back to the rear fender.  Its a BIG bike, fortunately cause I'm 6'2", but its lowered and has all the extra chrome & leather the previous owner could buy...  I got it with only 2,700 miles - I love guys with too much $$ and no sense...  She has 50K miles on her now and I've ridden it everywhere.  All I ever do is change the tires, oil & the rearend grease - damn near bullet proof!  Oh almost forgot, I'm on my second set of spark plugs...   :)

Thinking of getting a 2004/2005 Honda Rune for my 50th Birthday, but my better half doesnt want ANOTHER stupid motorcycle next to the OTHER stupid motorcycle... next to the stupid BOAT!!!!   :)  Gotta love 'em  ;)

I use to have a 2006 1200 Custom that was piped and jetted but I sold it two summers ago. I bought it brand new and put 7700 miles on her before I got rid of it. My dad also has a 2006 and 86(?) low rider. The 2006 is bone stock and the older one with the evolution motor has drag pipes on it and it screams like a raped ape. I also use to have a 98 Honda CBR F3 that was piped and jetted. I had fun on that for a while but eventually sold it too.

So if the pizza joint is a mile away, you need 2? One when you get there and one when you get home?

I work for the family Harley dealership in Hays Kansas, Doerfler Harley Davidson.  Have been working there as a mechanic for 11 years.  If any of you guys are riding down Interstate 70 stop into Hays and ask for John Kyle.  As far as what I ride its a 1935 VLD Harley.  Im in the process of restoring her.
