I was wondering this not to long ago as well! Yes, I ride. I have a 2003 Suzuki SV650, and it is a blast. My dad and I took a week and rode around the Colorado Rockies, just camping and exploring. No, interstates allowed (except for I70 for the Glenwood Canyon. Beautiful.)

See if these pics come through. One from the past, circa 1975: modified Norton Commando 750. Current stable includes Aprilia Tuono 1000R, pictured, and a stock Honda CRF450X, and a KLR650 with a ton of performance mods. Many bikes, dirt and street, before and after the Norton to date. 63 years old and still addicted to speed.

Picked up a 2003 S last October purely for pleasure use, to put the top down and slam it through the twisties. Previous convertibles back in the Stone Age include an Austin Healey 3000 Mk3, and a Triumph Spitfire. So far the Boxster is everything I hoped it would be.

Exactly like you guys, I had never known of something like this or it's existence before hand. That is exactly why posted it up LOL, been jockeying bikes around either in garages or in my basement for decades, not any more.

Luckyed,
What a stud (and I mean that as a strictly heterosexual compliment)! Some great bikes in that pile, not to mention cars (Healy 3000? sweet!). Good to see you spanning that many years and still enjoying it.

Beautiful day in Oklahoma today. I took the 98 Vulcan Classic out at sunset to dust it off and keep the battery charged.

Those are real. We have since sold the Boxster on the right. Still have both Triumphs. Been through other bikes since then too.

The triples street fleet.

Oh I will never forget the rocket III. When I was in college in Texas, I had a YamahaR6 and I used to visit an uncle in Houston frequently that owned the Triumph. So every now and then, I'd take her out for a spin and I still remember the distinct feeling of sitting on an 800 lb machine that had so much torque that the chassis wanted to twist from under me when I sat in neutral and just revved the throttle and I remember thinking to myself "What were they thinking? But I freaking love it". Contrary to what most people would expect, the in line three was really really quick,i remember reading that they had to limit it to prevent people from hurting themselves. The Uncle never had any problems keeping up with our crotch rockets, in fact, gave us a run sometimes. Haha

The Rocket III is pretty bad ass. While my Daytona is no Rocket III when is comes to torque there is something to be said for 3 cylinders. You get the low end torque of a twin and the high rpm horsepower of a in line four.
