Title: What else do you ride?
Post by: peteGS on December 10, 2012, 05:05:31 AM
Can't believe this thread doesn't exist yet!

So, aside from your GS, what else do you ride?

This is my 450 (sorry, don't have  a 500 but it's a GS twin right?)

Aside from that, I'm restoring this 1949 Ducati Cucciolo motor to bolt onto a 1939 Malvern Star bicycle which I'm also  restoring:

And next in line will likely be a bit of customisation on this little '76 Yamaha YB100 for a bit of fun:

So what else is hanging out at your place?

Sold the GS, currently riding a CBR600F3. I'm considering buying my buddy's DRZ400, that is a fun little wheelie machine. I can't say enough good things about the CBR though.

Good looking bikes Pete! ryott, definitely get the drz, they are a blast around town!

Well my gs project (http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll129/steezin_and_wheezin/IMG_3902.jpg) is yet again hit the back burner :sad:

Currently in the stable;

2006 drz400SM - my main bike until the gs is road worthy
(http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll129/steezin_and_wheezin/2012-12-06_17-10-44_425.jpg)

1980 Garelli super sport LTD - my main shredped
(http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll129/steezin_and_wheezin/IMG_4306.jpg)

1977 Garelli super sport xl project -  an embarrassing ammount of play cash thrown at this one
(http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll129/steezin_and_wheezin/IMG_4384.jpg)

1988 Tomos Bullet TT - fixed this little guy up for my gf. She dubbed him Clyde, and tells me I need to build another and name her Bonnie haha
(http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll129/steezin_and_wheezin/0717fb7a217011e28a5c22000a1f8acf_7.jpg)

1999 Tomos Targa TTLX - project my old brother and I are working on for him. He's dubbed it The Rusty Hornet, due to a gnarly bees nest that came in the seat

Liquidated all other bikes, so the GS is all I ride.

Good stuff guys, and a DRZ would definitely be a barrel of laughs!

Steezin, guessing you're a bit of a moped fan?

GS500, daily commuter and occasional weekend ride.
GSX1200S Bandit, weekend bike and occasional commuter.
VL250 Intruder, wife's bike, though she is hardly riding it so I take it for a ride.  Don't like riding it only cause its a cruiser and bad for my back.

Along with my '09 GS I have this Italian Beauty. I bought it new in October 1977 and still have it. I'm working on gathering parts for it to give it a good freshening.

I've got a Honda Motocompo and an '87 or '88 Yamaha Virago XV535 in my parent's shop, as they are both projects. Both are currently on the back burner while my girlfriend and I are hunting for a house.

Loving the Guzzi, Dam. I rode one of these a fortnight ago.

I like your bike Twisted  :thumb:

Wouldn't mind taking a V7 Classic for a spin.

My other bike, a Honda 919, aka CB900 aka 900 Hornet...

1980 Honda XL185S
(http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii224/dtilford/75022ce1.jpg)
Bought it for my wife to learn on, but figured out that it's fun to ride in the dirt.  So, I've put way more miles on it than she has.
(http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii224/dtilford/null-1.jpg)
Out of commission right now due to a rear wheel wobble issue that I need to get figured out.
