Alright you pedal freaks I did it. Wasn't very expensive. 180.00 but I picked this up today. First mod was the bottle hanger. Went 3 moles on it and when I got home my legs were noodles. I gotta get in shape lol

Final prep for a bike show I was in not too long ago. 2012 Road King. All bling done by me.

Looks damn good, Timmbo.
We should hookup for a weekend ride soon...if you're not scared to get it dirty.

^^^ Thanks. I'm riding into work tomorrow. Supposed to be a nice day. I visit my parents every now and then on Tellico Lake. They live about 8 miles from the Tellico dam in Tellico Village. I usually hit the Dragon a couple times a year. Early on a Sunday morning is best for no traffic. Next time I head up on the bike I'll send you a PM.

What do you ride?

That's sweet man! Love all the details like the orange spoke tips. They are supposedly coming out with an all new Road Glide next year. Right now that's the hottest selling bike I think. Nice job!

Finally got her home!! Love the sound of a v4 sport bike.

^^ Very nice. I miss my CBR sometimes. It was 2006 600 F4i. Not bad ass but it was fun. I'm on my third Harley but one of these days I'm going to get a BMW K1600 GTL. To me it's the ultimate touring bike. I liked my Harley Ultra Classic I used to have for touring but this new BMW blows it outta the park. But damn it's pricey right now.

Thanks man. I actually had a Vulcan 750 before this and just fell in love with the aprilia after helping a friend put an exhaust on it.
Was originally going to get a 600 of some sort but the insurance was outrageous. Some how the 1000cc bike was cheaper on insurance.

I've heard the f4i is one of the top most comfortable sport bikes, how'd you like it??

 

[Timmbo]

^^ I liked it but maybe not enough. I bought it new in 2006 and sold it in 2009 with less than 3k miles on it. I think 07' was the last year for the F4i.

Thus is my first running bike 06 ninja 500r. The other 2 bikes are just there just incase I get the wrenching bug.

I'm actually hopping to take the class soon. I still haven't found anyone live near me here in San Antonio.

Nice bike! I've always wanted to ride a V4 sport bike. Aprilias are sexy bikes.

Been competing for over 25 years on and off road...

Specialized S-Works


Fisher 29er 1X1 ..... yes rigid with carbon fork

This is an elevation number on my GPS during a CO. mountain bike trip.. Started off at 7,500 feet.

Had a great mini vacation in Chicago. Sister had her baby boy, so I am an uncle. Took my bike with me this time, and hit the Lakefront trail that runs along Lake Michigan and Chicago. I did 25.5 miles all together. It was blazing hot by 9 am, so I cut my ride short.

I have ridden several mountain bike trails that made my ass pucker. Nothing, and I mean nothing compares to riding on the streets of Chicago in traffic. She lives about 3 miles or so from the lake, so I busted ass down Irving Park, in traffic, like a fucking boss. That is some scary shit right there, no joke.

City riding can be nerve racking.

There is ( or was) a section in Southern Cal that you could ride on the 101 expressway for a bit. Man when an 18 wheeler came by at 65 .......hold on!!!!

 

[mustangcrazybj]

I have 2 harleys in the garage, one is a 2006 soft tail standard and the other is my 2009 ultra classic (pappaw bike) lol
My ultra classic is identical to this one, I don't have a pic of it on hand.

And here is my soft tail standard
