Aside from the project threads and the picture game, I can't seem to find a generic thread for us to share photos of our bikes. Every now and then I snap a photo that I might share on instagram/Facebook/snapchat/whatever, but I feel like the people here would appreciate it more. Since my bike isn't really a project, I don't have a reason to create a thread in the project forum. So let's see your favorite photos of your bike...

I've got so many damn photos, I could fill the entire front page!

Here's a few good ones over the years, though.

My current 2006 Buell XB12ss Lightning Long.





My previous 2013 Honda CB500F





My second GS500E, 1997





My first GS500E, 1996





As it was when I bought it.

Damn, that Buell is an absolute piece of art.

Awesome thread!! I hope we get lots of pics here.

This has always been one of my favorite pics of my GS:

Good photos. I like the color of that Honda. I took that headlight photo in my garage the other day, which is what kind of inspired the thread. But here are a few of my favorites.

This is the first photo I took of my GS the day I bought it.



Not a great photo, but this is my GS and my brother's SV at a local radio antenna site that we rode to.



Riding across the Ohio River on the Anderson Ferry. I've lived relatively close to this for my whole life, and this was the first time I've ever ridden the ferry. Pretty cool.



And finally my GS with my Ranger in front of the sunrise.

Your GS500's look clean too. I mean nothing like Sookie, she's a dirty, raggy old tart! And that's after I've spent about £300 and several man hours cutting my teeth in the garage.

Everybody likes motorcycles.... sorry I don't have any pics of a GS500 though.

Here's my GS450 before I sold it:


And my 1968 Honda CL175:

It's opener there in the wide open air...

Nice! Your Honda looks impeccable. Reminds me how badly I need to clean my GS 😂

Hey Watcher, what's the pad you have on the seat of the '97 ? (or I guess I should say, you had...)

I'd post pictures but I don't have a good one of the current condition.

Gel seat cushion.  I got it at CycleGear.  Don't remember what I paid for it, but I think I got it on sale for a reasonable amount.  $20-30 or something.
Sun faded really fast, but it was comfortable.  Absolutely necessary if you're like me and would refuse to take the car anywhere...  because you don't have one...  :thumb:

Here's my first bike: a Yamaha YB100 Royale I bought when I was on a 4 month trip in Pakistan a few years ago and rode it down the KKH. The thing was bulletproof!

Seasons greetings and a happy new year GS twinners.
I meant to post this before Christmas but better late than never.
The tree is a Nuytsia Floribunda otherwise know as the West Australian Christmas tree. Not the best example but one I could park close to.
No snow covered pines in this part of the world!

Wow that is a really neat looking tree! Thank you for the beautiful picture of sunshine... it is much appreciated because everything is gray, cold and dead here in western Pennsylvania  :icon_sad:

Happy new year to you as well  :cheers:

Cool photo ShowBiz. Keep 'em coming everyone!

I'd post more, but we've got a high of 23 F this weekend. We're supposed to have temps back up into the 50's next weekend, but it's going to rain.  :bs:

I'm working out of town this weekend, I'll try and get an interesting pic.

I might be able to do the challenge, as well, I'm sure most of our training bikes are black.
