How many motorcycle riders on here?
This question came to my mind this morning, figured I'd ask how many people are on here also ride a motorcycle along with enjoying their Boxsters?
If you do, shout out and pics would be great. I have owned several over the last 10 years but right now, I ride a 2006 Yamaha R1 (Red).http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1413999589.jpg |
25 to 30 years back I had a crotch rocket (1987 GSXR750) when they were first coming into vogue, now it's mainly dirt.

I Also went from crotch rockets to dirt/dual purpose

That would be a "hell yes".
Some TOUGH choices on a nice day........http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1414001238.jpg |
I race harescrambles and enduros. Ice racing in the winter. I dabbled in sportbikes for a while but gave it up.

2006 Triumph Daytona 675 here. She's got 33k on her so by sport bike standards not bad.

I commute by bike about 80 miles per day, 365 in the PNW. Recently had as many as 6 bikes but paired the number down so I could buy my Boxster.
The last bike standing is my '08 Triumph Tiger 1050, currently at 65k miles. http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5f6965fc.jpg http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/...ps524de76a.jpg Above picture taken a few weeks ago in eastern Oregon, a 935 mile road trip with my oldest son. |

I've got a soft spot for my black KTM's and a certain silver Porsche
2007 450 EXC. The poor thing has been upside down, flipped backwards and completely submerged underwater...not all on the same day though:D http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1393290228.jpg 2006 950 Adventure. Great all-around bike. Lotsa fun if you enjoy breaking the rear end loose at 100 mph on dirt roads. Not for the faint of heart. http://unclebrad.smugmug.com/Other/9...SCF2033-XL.jpg ...and then there's the "mule". It's a tank of a bike. Doesn't do anything well but does everything adequately. http://unclebrad.smugmug.com/Other/P...SCF1938-XL.jpg |
Two wheels spirit! Nice to see some of your rides... love them ALL
Here goes a full HRC engine kit packed with a few tricks. That thing throws out little over 202rwhp :/ And before you ask... yes it cost a lot in tires and brake pads. Another of my favourite loisir, superbike racing. Once a months; full 2-days weekend practice... or stress management... call it what you want! Track/circuits only, never been on a road bike (mum never allowed that). I also fly kites with my wife some other times http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/011414014664.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/021414014679.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/031414014689.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/041414014711.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/051414014722.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/061414014734.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/071414014747.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/081414014763.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01/091414014773.jpg You asked for pics lol |
I rode on the street from 1969 to 2000. I quit riding after hitting a mattress on the freeway.
Last bike.... http://images.psndealer.com/dealersi...P1800074_1.jpg |

Forgot the pic of the 1999 Boxster

Did someone say bikes? I restored a 1965 Triumph T120C and my daily ride is a 1998 Ducati 900CR. I'm currently restoring a 1973 Norton Commando.

Still ride my crotch rocket on sunny days, and occasional track days with the guys.

1997 Ducati 900 SS/SP track bike
2007 Honda CBR1000RR 2005 MV Agusta F4-1000s (sold) 2007 Ducati ST3s (sold) 1998 Ducati 900 SS/FE #299 (sold) 1992 Honda CBR900RR (sold) Those are my most recent bikes; over 49 years of riding motorcycles I've owned somewhere around 17 that I can remember. Also owned several Yamaha street bikes, a bunch of KTM MX and enduro bikes (raced MX and enduro on and off for 30 years or so). Quit riding dirt bikes a few years ago because I kept hurting myself! Now I get my thrills doing track days on pavement. Nine8Six, what is a loisir? And I've got news for you: you may not ride on the street, but a CBR1000RR is most certainly a road bike (it's not a dirt bike :rolleyes:!) http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1414029879.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1414029460.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1414029518.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1414030310.jpg |

I grew up on motorcycles starting on a minibike with a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower engine. I'm remembering some odd ones now from my teens like: Chaparral 80, Harley Davidson 125 Rapido, and Moto-Guzzi 125 Sport. I had a slew of Japanese 70s & early 80s dirt/enduro 175cc-360cc.
Through the 80s I ended up on a Norton 850 Commando. Yellow, low handlebars, 1/4 faring. Quit riding in the early 90s. I was too dangerous. Now I'm 'mature'. I can ride sitting up and can allow other vehicles to pass me. My family recently let me buy: http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1414033243.jpg No helmet in the photo, but the bike doesn't move without one. |
^ I bet Mr The Cat can't assist in driving this one ;)
This got to be the best car owner's show-my-bike's thread of all time. Love to see some other members' bike!!! Looks like plenty of fun going on here Joe - loisir.... French for leisure. Nice CBR you got there :cheers: |
