Who here is into motorcycles
The muscle car thread is having some interest. Might be a few more folks with bikes. That is my true passion. I restore and rebuild and collect vintage and classic bikes. I've long since quit selling bikes as I've regretted almost everyone I've sold.
This is my collection so far. I have one more I'm adding yet this year, the 89 Honda Hawk. It's purchased, just have to pick it up. It will need no restoration as it's a low mile original. The other bike on my calendar will be picking up my dads 77 BMW R75/7 next spring. That will take some restoration work. I do all the work myself, engine/trans rebuilds, paint and body, electrical, etc. I have a full complement of SAE, Metric, and Whitworth wrenches, taps, and dies, plus shop manuals for each. There is nothing more satisfying than taking a neglected old heap and bringing it back to life. They all get ridden on a regular basis. As long as its not storming outside, I'm on 2 wheels.
My current list below though.

So what do you all ride? Anyone else with classics? Doesn't matter what it is or how old, all bikes are great and it's more important that your riding than what you ride.

Harley VROD ( 2007 Night Rod Special )
VROD, picked up the first Year of the Night Rod Special back in 07, back when they were pretty few and far between, now they seem to be all over the place. Have not got into the vintage bikes yet but have started looking into it over the past few months.

Yep. Have a 1984 FXSB Low Rider. Just traded 02 Ultra for 14 Ultra Limited. Just got back from a 2.5 week 8500 mile loop of the USA. The bike now has more miles than the E350. The E350 just turned 1010 miles while the Bike turned 9585 today after work. So far love both car and bike
