It's February, and looking outside there is still 4 inches of snow on the ground. I've spent many hours lately day-dreaming about riding my motorcycle again.

Admin/Moderator, please move this thread to chat if necessary, I don't know how to post directly to chat.

Hello all, this is my first post.

It's February, and looking outside there is still 4 inches of snow on the ground. I've spent many hours lately day-dreaming about riding my motorcycle again.

If you are experiencing "Spring Fever" like me, please feel free to share a pic of your motorcycle.

I definitely have spring fever, but not for bikes....

I want BASS!

[TexasRedeye]

Hehehehe. I haven't been on my Harley now for 11 days!

I haven't been fishing for 14 days, bwaaaaaaaa

Texas winter will last at least another 3 days the forecasters say!

[Buell_X1-1200]

Thanks for rubbing it in Redeye.

[Jack Black]

Mine's red.

How about a nice new 2004 Corvette convertible, I just bought one...going to be 50-60 here in sunny Texas this weekend...think about tying that snow shovel to the back of your bike and heading south when someone asks "what is that?" buy a house there!

To replace the 1983 Bonny (RIP) and the 1972
BSA, a spankin' new 2004 Bonny.

Wifey says no, but I can dream, can't I?

These are not my actual bikes but pics just like them:

[Huck]

HAHA. My wife and I were discussing potential sites for a retirement/summer home, and I tossed out Texas. #1 selling point? More bass fishing!

Check my profile page for pics of my wife fishing. She's good.

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
And the feelin' that I'm under
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die

Born to be wild
Born to be wild

'sbeen 10 years since I sold the Snortin Norton 850 Commando, which I'll admit was an antique the day it was made.
Still get "Classic Bike," magazine and was thinking a nice, high-pipe Triumph would look good in my garage. I still have all my tools.

Not into bikes... however, we are looking fowrward to driving our 6 time Best of Show/winning, pristine 1993 Dodge Stealth Twin Turbo when the weather finally breakes here in New England.

As for specs: 300+ hp, all wheel drive, all wheel steering, 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds and top speed of over 160 and 27 MPG crusing at 75 mph :o) Oh did I mention it is Firestorm Red :o)

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Hope the new ones are more dependable than the vintage units. One of the nice things about the old Limeys was they were lightweight and easy to push.

I did three trackdays at Brainerd International Raceway last summer, I can't wait to get back there. I have a 2000 Yamaha YZF-R1. I am considering the '04 right now----160HP at the rear wheel would sure be fun!!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

If you race, you should look into semisynthetic lube oil. The best around is made by a small outfit in St. Louis called Schaeffer.

As Mr. Gun (in South FL) would say: "You mean there are days you CAN'T ride? That's just not right."

It's really slow, but it tastes good, so if it breaks down in the boonies I can eat it.

1995 FLHTC Electraglide Classic

OK, so it has 80,000+ miles on it and working on the 9th rear tire. OK Ok ok, so it only had 74,000+ when the picture was taken and it won't go over 119mph. :-(~

OK Ok ok, so I added a rider backrest cause I'm old and my back hurts.

But it shakes itself dry and gives me free back massages and never ever failed to get me home!

Oh, did I mention the Screaming Eagle HC heads, weisco HC pistons 9.6:1, SE drag clutch chain & gear, SE coil, Fireball high4 ignition module, 44 MM CV carb with a thunderjet slider kit, SE breather kit, high-flow aircleaner box, EV51 cam, hooker tunable exhaust and a 260lb mellow conservative rider?

oops

One XL deserves another. Taxes paid XLH-H 883 now an XLH-H 1200.

For those of you not fortunate enough to ride Harley-Davidson's or Buells, paying the taxes means rejetting the carburator, adding a high flow air cleaner, and high flowing pipes. Nothing in life is as embarrassing as riding a Harley with wimpy sounding stock pipes. :)
