Motorcycles...anyone?

[Surferguy80]

So who here rides bikes, anyone else?
I know jon has a couple...the roads here are too fun and gas prices are too high for us to be the only two!

mopeds? scooters? cruisers? supermotos? crotch rockets?
:confused::confused:

2007 Suzuki SV650

Most exciting thing next to surfing. Full lean at 90mph is second to getting barreled:D

I'd be down for that for sure. Glad to see you're blowing up that knee on the track and not the 33. I made a google group (http://groups.google.ca/group/sb-canyon-riders) for me and my buddies to help coordinate rides. We like to head up to the 33 almost every weekend...when there's not surf of course.

Cool to hear that you've got an SV, they really are fun to ride. Speaking of which, one of my coworkers is looking to buy a first gen SV sometime in the near future. I thought it'd be a good idea for him to sit on one and hear how they sound etc. before he pulls the trigger. Think we could meet up sometime for a brew, shoot the motorcycle shit, and have him check yours out? Cheers...

[Surferguy80]

yah for sure; my title is tied up in legal shite right now (has been for too long), so i cant legally ride it anywhere, but it should be good to go soon; its a second gen but they arent too far off from the 1st gens.
if you wanna come swing by my place sometime with him let me know, if he rides hes more than welcome to take 'er around the block a few times :D

I don't ride much...just a few blasts on 33 to keep the battery charged (the one on the bike).

bro's the proceeding pictures only steer up the blood, great machines guys...but in a time long, long ago this little gem had a special place in my heart...before and after the service this tenacious critter made many trips over the romero, up rincon mountain, the sespe, indian dunes, pearblossom turn off and the cali deserts...greeves forever

Whoa!. Leading link suspension. Reminds me of a Hodaka.

[Ridgeback]

carp- your greeves rules.

[JeffH]

Not in the same class as all these cycles but I have a 1960 150cc Vespa Scooter. Totally fun to ride, if you guys are going riding I'll go and I'll see you guys at the destination about two hours after you get there, HA!

[Surferguy80]

those suckers are what got me into motorcycles in the first palce!
spent a month in france/italy about 10 years back and fell in love with them...came back and ended up repairing my brothers old honda from the backyard instead of getting a vespa...always wanted one!

[JeffH]

Yeah they are fun! I'll ride it down to your shop when I come to give you the deposit for my board.
