HEY Bikers! Post some pics!

..........

Cool pictures BIKR....
OBTW..you're mouse pad goes out in the am.

:)

Nice pictures AIBIKR. Looks like a well engineered carrier.

I've done a lot of Mountain and Road cycling. No pictures with the Ridge yet. But I have a question. Isn't it rather expensive ($200-300) to have a rack like that? Why can't you just place the bike in the back on it's side? That's what I do....no fuss, it stays put, and costs nothing. I just lay a piece of carpet or mat down so that I don't get any scratches on the bed or bike. I use the money I save on bike parts...lol.

Yours is easier to load.

I bet yours is easier to climb a hill with! Nice pic :)
Climb a what???
I have a hybrid mountain bike. Weighs darn near as much motorcycle but has peddles. My current ride is a Specialized Big Hit DH Pro (8" of travel front and rear). I'm working on rebuiding my old x-country bike just to use as trainer.

No pics in the RL right now.

I usually ride Ski Bowl, Willamette Pass, Whistler B.C. and McCulloch.

Thanks. It is much more fun to jump the hill. :D After banging around the track, it is sure nice to have such a luxurious ride home. This truck is amazing.

Hey Motoman, Welcome to the family! Where do you ride your RM?
Their are a bunch of us meeting out at El Mirage dry lakes this weekend and you are more than welcome to join us!!

Ron (5S Dude)

I've posted this before, but it is one of my favorite pictures so I don't mind posting it again and again and again and again.........

Thanks. I am in Houston. We have an incredible track 30 miles away in Splendora. I am selling my Colorado LS Sport regular cab. It is nice but I do not miss the ride. I want to change these wheels and tires but they ride so darn good. I wonder what a set of flat black powder coated factory rims would look like? The black chrome look chrome to me. A little better but still chrome.
Where are the El Mirage dry lakes?

I'm hoping mine won't have to ride back there at all (only if she's hurt bad...)

Where is that? Looks kind of like Banff. It's gorgeous.

Oh, There a short drive into the heart of SoCal desert. Well have fun riding anyways. I'm just getting back into it after a 10yr layoff.

My other ride....

Tell the truth, HOW NICE DOES BLACK LOOK WHEN CLEANED UP!!!!:D The bike pics look great, never saw the rack like that yet. Looks really easy to use!

Here's my best toys from 05: My Titus Racer-X on the RL.

I ride at Chimney Rock and Round Valley in New Jersey (Rocky, wooded Singletrack). Hoping to go in the next few days with the warm spell.

Where is that? Looks kind of like Banff. It's gorgeous.

It's on Rt 302 in front of the Mt. Washington Hotel (Mt. Washington is the tallest of the visible peaks (and of the ones nearby that you can't see)) in Bretton Woods, NH. Just about anything in the area wouldn't be a bad place for a ROC meeting!

Here's a sad pic of my bike in the garage.

You still riding a three-wheeler at your age? :D

You so funny I forgot to laugh.:p

I don't think mine will fit in the back of the RL:mad:

I dug my antique out from under 10 years of garage stuff and took some photos just for AIBIKR, Skywalker, hnc & mayfielh. It‘s my 1990 GT Team Edition RTS.
A blast from my cave man past huh guys?

Nice classic but they loose value when you take them out of their wrappers.:D

Cantilever brakes I can't remember the last time I saw those. Heck my 4 year old's bike has 6" disc brakes

I'm sure you noticed this alreay but your bike and truck are both RTS models.

Yeah huh. Now that you mention it. That is kinda cool! This bike was the SH#$^ back in the day. Can you imagine roosting down a ski slope during a blazing hot summer day with hardly any brakes what so ever! SewerSide my friend. Lot's of cool scar tissue from those good old days!

Now I’m just an old fart with some really crazy memories.

It's cool to see how the FSR bikes have changed over the past 16 years. I like how the water bottle is mounted.

Orange County is a great place for mountain biking - I've ridden at El Moro Canyon and Aliso Wood Canyons during my trips out there. Looks like your bike is still rideable - time to take it out of retirement:)

I'm left my Specialized Rock Hopper in Edmonton....but will this do....

Hi hnc, Are you originally from the OC?
I know the new bikes are so plush by comparison but they cost as much as a new dirt bike so I bought another Honda dirt bike instead. I still ride the RTS but it has only been around the school track and my Daughters High School to keep my boyish figure.

Hey CBRidgeJockey, I just got home from getting my new dirt bike and saw all the new knee draggers. I can’t tell the years anymore. What year is your F4? It looks like so much fun!!! I’ve stayed away from motorcycles the whole time we raised the kids and now it’s daddies turn to have some fun!

Now that it's out, you may as well use it...

I had a ridgid frame GT as my first "real" mtn bike. Next came a '98 I-Drive XCR4000. When I bent that one at the rear shock, GT warranteed it with an I-Drive 1.0 frame. Seven months later when I bent that frame at the seat mast, my bike shop got a refund from GT and got me a Specialized s-works FSR. That frame lasted about 3.5 years before it bent at the linkage at the top of the rear shock... Along came the s-works epic. :cool:

GT still holds a place in my Mtn Biking heart (attack) though... Thanks for sharing 5S dude!

Man Dude! You play much too hard with your toys! Do you still get the "Urge"?

Here are my babies.

You know, although I had a great childhood, we didn't have all that much. I find it harder now to justify having a nice bike and NOT using it ( that whole Native American "waste not" stuff.)

"If you USE it, it WILL break...eventually." That's what frame warrantees are for... :cool:

Me too! We grew up pretty much the same. I think that's why we appreciate nice things so much in our lives now. My GT snapped at the shock mount and Gary gave me a brand new frame and even offered to powder-coat it for me. The thing I hate most is the lifetime warrantees for stuff and when it poops out you go back to where you bought it and it’s turned into a Quicky Mart!!! :D

I know the new bikes are so plush by comparison but they cost as much as a new dirt bike so I bought another Honda dirt bike instead. !
I have oveer $6,000 into my bike as it sits right now. Probably could have gotten a couple used Hondas with motors for that.

Here are my bikes in my internal bike rack I put together for my Element. :)

Trek 5200 on the left and Yeti Kokopelli on the right. I have since modified the Yeti from how you see it below. Will be upgrading it again this summer.

Hey 5S Dude....my crotch rocket is a 2002 ... I gave up bikes 15 years ago cuz of the new babies...nows its Daddy's time to have some more fun.

Hey NC BLue...you can eat off your garage floor...geeesh

Love bikes in any shape or form....will post my Mountain bike once I get a pic done...

Here are my Race bikes. The Yamaha has been sold. The RMZ is crazy fast.

Hi, 5S Dude,

My company HQ is out in Costa Mesa, and I travel out several times a year. Every time I go out, I look for a new trail, although since the mountain lion incident, I don't go solo anymore. Also restaurants out where you live. Best restaurant - Las Brisas in Laguna Beach.

I dug my antique out from under 10 years of garage stuff and took some photos just for AIBIKR, Skywalker, hnc & mayfielh. It‘s my 1990 GT Team Edition RTS.

Classic!

A photo of my old bike before it went into retirement (read dismembered :D ). It is a Kuwahara Cascade mtn bike that has seen its share of mountain trails. After much riding and multiple bearing swaps, the crank was so worn that it was time to go shopping for its replacement. After 17 years, it owed me nothing.

Hi, Skywalker.

Love these antique bikes. I retired my 95 Trek 7000 SHX late last year when my shop's new mechanic told me how much he loved these 'Antique bikes'. After a two month hiatus, my 7000 came out of retirement and is back on the trails again.

What did you replace the Kuwahara with? Another rigid frame?

Motoman, Great photos! That looks like Ricky’s practice bike!! Very nice! I ride a Honda now (in my old age) but I think it’s team greens turn this year! As long as “Bubba” keeps the rubber side down….

CBRidgeJockey, What cha gonna get for father’s day!! Now that Daddy gets to play?

Hnc, That mountain lion incident put a damper on a lot of trail riding, but you know he was there first and he just got hungry! I guess stuff like that could happen anywhere in the remote areas that bikes travel. Really scary!
I will have to take Cindy to Las Brisas in Laguna Beach for her birthday. Thanks for the hot tip.

Skywalker, I used to ride with a fellow engineer at work and he brought that very same scooter to the chair lifts in the SoCal mountains. I had just bought my GT and as we descended down a really rough section of single track, I looked over my shoulder to see how far back I had dropped him and to my amazement, he was right on my heels. When we got to the bottom, I had a whole new respect for this crazy knucklehead.

Isn’t kinda a funny, When we all started riding, most of us start on a small relatively docile bike and progressively elevate to a crazy faster bigger bike! And then when we get older (& hopefully wiser) we tend to gravitate back to the smaller less crazy scooters so we don’t end up killing ourselves?



You guys all have a great week!

ROC-on!

I was going to go with a hardtail, but after riding a Rocky Mountain Instinct, my old bones welcomed the full suspension and lightness of this bike (see post 17 of this thread for the photo) . The manufacturer had changed the naming convention of this model, it was pre winter and the Bike shop wanted to make some room, so I ended up getting it at cost.

Take a look at the Rocky Mountain Bike website, lots of good bikes. They are based near Vancouver BC.

I saw your post earlier and wasn't sure who made that bike. I know the Rocky Mountain bikes and they're great. The new Slayer is supposed to be an incredible ride.

You've got some great trails in your neck of the woods, and your Instinct looks like a great bike for them!

Guess which one gets used the most...

When I saw, Bikers post some pics, I didnot realize you meant Mnt. Bikes. until I saw your great pics. Looks like a lot of fun.

Down here in the swamp lands, When you say Bikes, they are refering to Harley's Honda's etc. We do have a lot of ATV's and Dirt Bikes run in the nothern woods of La. Great fun.

For me, I will ride Big Red on the highways and byways of the Rockies this year, if all goes well.

BCP:D

Nice cruiser, CCR. I would love to get a bike with a motor someday, but right now, flying past trees in the woods at 10-20mph under pedal power is great enjoyment any chance I can get it.
A motorcycle? My kids don't see me enough already.;)

Get them all on a motorcycle and take um with you! Very rewarding!!

Here is one of the many reasons I purchased the Ridgeline - you can bet I did some serious measuring before buying my Ridge to make sure my BMW R90s would fit!

Hi beemr, Man it's been awhile since we've heard from you! Hope you had a wonderful holiday and all is well. Thanks for the photos. you are the one who inspired me to get a folding loading ramp! Thanks for that idea too. Works great.:p

Hey, Trizzane,

Yr RL looks cool with the bikes in the bed. Are those his/her Treks?

They sure are - Good call ;)

Trizzane - Is that a home made rack? I would love to see more detailed pics of your setup as I am trying to come up with something similar. Did you use square steel tubing?

Thanks,
TS

Its actually angle iron - the stuff with holes in it. I have a post in the Racks, hitches, etc section with more info. Ill try to get close up pics one of these days. :)

Trek Fuel 95

Here's mine. It's not elaborate, spent about $150 at a bike shop, and $2 at walmart for the clamps so I wouldn't have to drill into the truck. It will definately get me to the trailhead.;) :D :D

One of my favorite "bikin" photos. A buddy of mine on a muddy :) trail near Jasper Park Alberta.

Awesome photo Skywalker! It's so cool to see these photos of the great outdoors from inside my dark dank cubicle! Thank you!:p "Crap! the boss is coming see ya!

I thought you closed down this week or was that just Door Sill production?

Just the door sill machining facility (Which resides in my parents backyard) was closed on Saturday so I could spend time with Cindy on her Birthday. I'm a CNC programmer for a large surgical products manufacturing company during the daylight hours.:p

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's some terrific videos of the world famous "Great Flume Ride and the T.R.T." mountain bike trails at high in the sky Lake Tahoe. The vids are each about 4 minutes long and taken by a MTB'er with a helmet cam.

The Upper Rim Trail video is the tamer of the two but has a funny ending.
The Flume Trail video is phenominal with breath taking scenery and exteme drop offs.


Islandpete found these vids and we've been flaunting them around in the EOC, getting members all jacked up and making personal pledges to take on these trails while attending the EOC/ROC Lake Tahoe camping trip this August.
I know there are a few Ridgeline members planning on making the Tahoe trip and thought you guys might like to see these vids.
Enjoy the ride!

As Islandpete said about these videos..
"They are guaranteed to make you feel younger"

Thank you Steve Wolf!

Here's my toy. '97 Road King Fuely. Lotsa bling. Gotta love bling! Yeah, yeah, I know "Chrome don't get you home." But it's got Stage One and Two Screaming Eagle kits in it, so, for an Evo, it goes pretty well.

I need to get some pics of the V-star in the garage before I sell it. I'll miss her, but I'll have a bigger better cruiser once I finish school.




Oh, I've got some leathers for sale in the trading post for you sportbike guys. :cool:

Here's my bike. I only ride her on the track (replaced all the stock plastics with race plastics). I'm thinking of getting a cruiser for the streets. Honda of course. Probably the VTX 1800...now that is a sweet ride!

Let's get back to where you have to do some exercise....
My Trek is my usual cargo.

I had too much light in the last photo, it made my Trek look orange. Nice scratches in the bed, eh? Thats when you carry kids bikes with the trick axles for the first time and don't secure them properly...grrr Not my kids, so I couldn't kill them! :)

Let's get back to where you have to do some exercise....

Clearly you've haven't spent much time riding dirt bikes. Ride 5 miles of sand whoops and tell me you didn't get any excercise!:D

Of course we like to kayak most often but we also bike with friends occasionally. I looked the truck over and did some measuring and found I could get four bikes crosswise in the back of the truck. Two fit fine with a kayak on top and the truck still opens to stow gear as you can see. I used a locking mount from Thule, which allows me to secure the bikes when we are kayaking. These pics are from a trip we took today on the American River parkway in Sacramento.

my baby, taken today for the sale ads. :(

Please tell me you dont compete in the Iron Butt with that seat :eek:

No, I do not. I just finished completeing the custom exhaust. Factory header pipe, with two bros twisted carbon fiber pipe. All of the aftermarket exhaust systems are anywhere between $800 & $1000, that's 2 steep for me. I have a buddy in northern MN that works in a custom streetrod shop and has all the tools to do the job. Took complete exhaust system off( 1 piece from header to tailpipe) cut off the exhaust at back of header, before catylitic converter and had my by make a 4 into 1 collector and used jetcoat to coat the entire exhaust except the tailpipe. Have been riding it the last couple of weeks and boy what a difference. Plus alot louder, which it was totally quiet before, now I like the sound so much, I think I am going to get in trouble(like being on the pipe alot(exhaust)). It can do the twistys and also tour with the goldwings. Has hard bags to attach and also tank bag & tailbag. It is a great bike.:D

I posted these pics up on the "Racks" discussion, but here they are again. I started mountain biking back in February while going to school in Charlottesville, VA and did my first mountain bike race in April. I entered a road triathlon at Dewey Beach, DE and that's where I was when I took these pics. Notice the busted blue road bike in the middle that I bought online for 50 bucks!!

That 2x4 roof rack is what I consider a custom design! not bad for $40 cost and 30 minutes install though...

Here are pics of two of my three other rides. The P2C is the newest and most cherished member of my two wheeled family.

Here are pics of two of my three other rides. The P2C is the newest and most cherished member of my two wheeled family.Those seats look like thay are sitting pretty high, especially the off-road bike (orange). Did you get the frame sized for your body size?

This is my first bike that I bought that was fitted to me. What a difference in comfort. I can ride all day without getting a sore back from leaning over. I am 6' tall and here is how tall my seat is. Sorry, I don't remember how big the frame is off-hand.
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q178/keith_757/2006%20Honda%20Ridgeline%20RTS/P6090034_.jpg

The seat heights look appropriate. Mt bikes and newer road frames use compact frame geometry to keep frame weights low and to improve clearance whenstraddling the frame.

The seat heights look appropriate. Mt bikes and newer road frames use compact frame geometry to keep frame weights low and to improve clearance whenstraddling the frame.ah ok. My Trek is only two model years old and definitely not in the same class of bikes as those. Then again, I am not a hard-core biker, but do like to kick up some sand/dirt. :D

Those seats look like thay are sitting pretty high, especially the off-road bike (orange). Did you get the frame sized for your body size?


I'm about 5' 10" with a 31 1/2 inseam. The Superlight (the orange bike) is a medium frame which equates to about a 17" frame. The P2C is a 51 cm. Frame sizing is not as straight forward as saying a person of x height should ride x size frame. When sizing a bike you need to also take the top tube length into account because some people have long legs and short torso or maybe a long torso and short legs. Unless you are having a bike custom made you end up picking the closest frame size the company offers and making it fit by adjusting the seat height, stem length, seat position, crank arm length or a combination of all. Other considerations have to do with what will you be doing with the bike? If you are racing it and speed is all you care about you will have an aggressive set up that might not be extremely comfortable to ride but allows for better power output.

I'm sure that is more than you were looking for but I wanted to give you a some what expanded explanation. As for the getting fit question the answer is yes. I've been racing bikes in some form for a bit over 14 years at this point and all of the bikes I've had for the last 10 years have been fitted professionally.

If the bike you have now feels comfortable when you ride it, isn't causing you any knee pain and it is serving your needs I wouldn't worry much about it.

I also have a medium sized Santa Cruz Superlight (plus 4 other bikes). I prefer my top tube lengths (parallel to the ground) to be 23" or so. I have been a mt biker for many years. I pretty much can buy a frame online from the geometry specs and know if it fits me or not. A lot of novice riders still size frames from the old school way - you stand over the frame. If there is an inch of crotch clearance then "it fits." Unfortunately it is a LOT more complicated than that.....

A lot of novice riders still size frames from the old school way - you stand over the frame.


Very true...on top of that a lot of those "novice riders" are working in bike shops fitting the bikes they sell that same way.

My Bike is a scooter!! :)

Road bike set up. No drilling required. Bar made by Thule, cost 120$. All you do is adjust it to required width and lock in place. I drove my ridgeline from Florida to Wisconsin with my bike in the back with set up and had no problems at all.

I just picked up a Ridgeline to haul my bikes around. What type of ramp works best?

Here you go:

Here's something you don't see too much of anymore. That's a custom Medici I had made for me around 1976. I restored it 3 or 4 years ago with the original Campy Super Record components. Medicis were made in California by a guy named John Simonetti, a former Masi builder. It is made with Columbus SL. I bought the DeRosa around 96. It's made with Columbus SLX. Fully lugged. Campy Ergo 9 speed. An Italian beauty. I also own an Atala Recoed with the original Nuevo Record components. The Harley is an 01 Lowrider with extensive engine work.

Love to see those sew-ups. Simonetti sponsored a club on Long Island back when I was racing. They used to run a criterium in a mall parking lot.

I have the same components on my custom. I'll have to take it down and take a few shots of it.

Where was that Shovelhd?

I honestly can't remember. It was on Long Island somewhere, not too far out from the Bronx. I only went once, it was such a haul for a flat criterium, but they paid well.

Yeah, I love the smell of glue in the morning. I wonder if that was Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Crits were not my specialty. I favored hilly courses. I think the most interesting thing that happened in cycleing and endurence sports in general was the approach to training. The heart rate monitor changed everything. I could always climb well and I could hold my own in a sprint but time trialing was my weakness. Once I got the monitor you could be very specific. Intervals made a whole lot more sense.

I was exactly the opposite, a sprinter who couldn't climb worth a damn. I raced every kind of road course but preferred criteriums, circuit courses, and time trials, both team and individual.

Here's my 2002 Honda CR 250.

This Was My Big Red For 11 Years. Sold It Last Nov.
Miss It Now, Great Weather For Riding.

Send in some shots of your bike. The new carbon fiber stuff is great but when I show up with one of these I get a lot of nods.

I sold all of my other bikes (Basso, Fuji, Miyata, track bike), so all I have left is the custom Ted Wojcik. Ted is a small builder from NH who makes custom motocross and road bicycle frames.

This bike is built from Columbus SL tubes with SP track stays for stiffness. The top tube is 1cm longer than normal for this size as it was built for time trialing and criteriums. It has a full Super Record gruppo, although the pics show Superbe brake levers as they take a beating. I have the SR levers new in the box.

I used it for training and training races as I rode sponsor bikes in the real races. I did ride it in a 7 day stage race in NH for all the races. I have not ridden it in at least 15 years.

a few of mine......
custom Marinoni - Sherco trials bike....guess which has the most comfie seat

riding and racing a Pinarello these days

Chrome chain stays and fork. They don't build em like that anymore. Down tube shifters. It's like driving a stick. I haven't ridden competively in 8 years. It's not like softball, it's way to hard to train like that. You never see a pro cyclists retire then try to make a come back. That Marinoni is BIG. You must be a tall dude. My rides are 52cm c to top

No, what they do is race the criterium circuit in the USA or Europe, where they get several grand just to line up. They don't even have to finish.

I quit at age 26 (almost 34 years ago) as a Cat II.

Some where out west....

Classic VFR in beautiful shape.

I've really enjoyed all the bike pics and it's been cool to learn how many of you are accomplished cyclists.

I took up cycling about 10 years ago when running was becoming too hard on the aging knees. Although I've never raced like some of you, I have ridden on many charity century rides and have done the BRAG (Bicycle Ride Across Georgia) for the past 7 years. A couple of years ago I got my dream bike; a Litespeed Tuscany and I really enjoy it.

Attached is a pic from this last summer's BRAG ride. It's memorable to me because the photographer was at the bottom of a long down hill and I recall my cyclometer reading 42 when I went past. Not fast to a "real" cyclist but plenty fast for this 54 year old!! The pic is a bit blurry but you get the point....

Glad to see some Roadies on the forum. Believe it or not, I bought my Steel Blue RTX to haul my new bike around. The Dakota had a hard cover, and was a bit long in the tooth, so I traded it shortly after I bought my Orbea Onix.

I'm the slowest guy on the ride, but the best looking - :D

Yes I did, although I was toast. Not my kind of race. Did you know Tony Chastain? He raced for Stowe for quite a while, was a Cat. 1 national team member at one point. I used to smoke him in sprints.

I remember Tony. I was a junior around that time. I worked at the sponsoring bike shop for a lot of years. The team had some good riders. Remember David Ware, Chris Carmichael or Jack Nash. I did the Stowe and the Mt Washington races and hill climbs. The best I can brag is that I finished.

David Ware and Chris Carmichael, yes. I raced criteriums with Chris. Shortly after I got out he moved to Colorado full time to work at the Olympic training ceneter, and became the national team coach a few years after that.

He was also the brains behind Armstrongs comeback. He can custom taylor a training program for anyone willing to pay. Just send him the info you downlaoad from your heart rate monitor.

Good? He nearly wads it twice and takes himself out trying to pass a trailered boat. Dumb.

but be careful!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're doing to a family gathering in Ashville, NC next July. I intend to make atleast one pass of the Dragon on the way there or back. Won't be quite the same in my RL as it would be in my WRX, but will fun none-the-less.

1957 Harley Hummer (1 of 38 known to be registered) and museum quality 1949 Indian Arrow.

Sweet, both of them. I used to pass by Hummer rollers and parts at the swaop meets years ago. Nobody wanted them.

Pretty sweet bikes. I am not really a harley fan, but I would love to have that one or the Indian.

Yeah that bad boy was sitting from 2006 till feb this year while I was deployed. And the bad thing is since Ive been back and having to move I have only ridin it enough to just turnit on. Hopefully That will change here in about two weeks.:D

you were deployed, rickjr007? thanks from all of us for serving. hoooah

I have a SCOTT RANSOM with a thru axle front and got the bed extender -- haven't tried to lay the bike in the back (just got the truck then had to go out of town on business...) -- I'm pretty sure that will work for one bike but I was wondering if anyone had any pics/setup suggestions for a thru axle. I don't want to take the front wheel off...do you just use tie downs and some bar end holders like tying down a motorcycle or is there some other sweet setup. I dont' want a roof rack as that takes even more gas and I'll have clearance issues and forget to take the bike off...haha.

Let me know what you guys have and let me see some more mtb pics!!

I also have a nice Thule hitch rack on my gf's Honda FIT...but I'd rather not have a hitch mount rack for the Ridge --
Not too mention my 08 RTL didn't come with the standard hitch that they are putting on the 09's......that and the fact that the Ridge didn't come with an aux input jack....that's my only complaint so far -- but love this truck. Definitely a great vehicle....I just wish I could get an aux input jack..that's a little cheap for Honda...My gf's FIT has it but not their top of the line 30K truck? what gives.hahaha...oh well. XM is nice.

I got into bicycles a little over a year ago. Here's my first road bike (in 40+ years!.. counting my old Schwinn Collegiate 5-spd as a road bike)
2006 Trek Pilot 5.2 with full Ultegra gruppo (triple)
http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/8053/img3229rs4.th.jpg (http://img410.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img3229rs4.jpg)

It was totaled at the end of July/08 when an oncoming car turned left right in front of me and I T-boned the car. I escaped injury other than a scrape on my right elbow where I glanced off the car. The bike had a broken fork up in the headtube... which basically totaled the bike as it also compromised the frame (full carbon).

I replaced it with this:
2008 Trek Madone 5.5 with a Dura-ace/Sram combo (compact double)
http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/7259/small01fc6.th.jpg (http://img522.imageshack.us/my.php?image=small01fc6.jpg)

Right now I'm riding about 4000 miles a year and would like to pick up the pace... weather and schedules permitting.

I've dropped weight (~18 lbs), have seen a major drop in cholesterol (30+ points) and triglycerides (over 100 pts), etc. Resting HR runs about 60 now, BP down a few points. It's amazing what a bit of exercise can do. I was shocked when the blood work came back from my last physical. (so was the doc).

When my last truck was totaled a few weeks ago, I had to have another truck.. if for no other reason but to haul my bike around!

Had motorcycles too, but no more. My last one was a Honda - 1986 VF700C. Loved it... loved it. Wife hated it... hated it. When I had a serious accident on it, my motorcycle riding days were all over as I valued the marriage more than the motorcycle. But I missed that bike for years afterward. sniff.

Mine was similar to this:

My pickup has always been for hauling bikes. The Ridgeline presented a challange to using the Yakima truck rack that had been on the last three.

Currently using the Delta bed rack.

Shedevil,

Nice build, very stealth. What is it? Looks like it may be a 29er.

Here are my rides....a 2007 Piaggio MP3 250...I so fondly call "MySkyMiZeR"
(sky blue in color and a MiZeR on gas) and 2005 Honda Shadow VLX/DLX 600 in Candy Orange (only year that Honda used this color on a 600 Shadow and the 600 is no longer manufactured). I'm liking that ;) Her name is "Tango." Total mileage on her (are ya sitting?) 906
Sadly, I may be selling her....seems the MP3 and I are going steady now

Here's one I haven't put up yet.

Nice scooter, Luder.

Here's my other child...another damned Honda but a little faster than the Ridge

Beautiful 1kRR!! :cool:

That is niiicce.:cool:

Well, here is my 1967 Norton Atlas. She needs a lot of work but I think by this Summer I will have her either up and running or sold. I hope she is running she was quite a blast to drive. And here is the Ridge in Snow

Nice Norton!!! Love those bar end mirrors.

yeah those are for show only and 'cause the law says I have to have them. You can see out of them only when the Bike is turned off. It is an Atlas so the 750cc engine is mounted directly to the frame. The vibration doesn't bother me I just can't see out of the dang mirrors when she is running!

OMG Don`t you think it`s a little dangerous?

WOW your wife lets you ride the baby like that? That would have been my last ride, she would have killed me. I'm not slamming you, I am just saying this wouldn't work in my family. Good luck

Your Repsol replica is so very nice! I’ve heard of a bunch of So.Cal knuckleheads putting CRF 450 motors in their Ruckus and staging parking lot Supermotard racing but that baby on the luggage rack is totally insane! IMHO of course…….

Thanks for posting the pics!

jasonnn! that baby seat strapped to the back of your bike has got to be photoshopped?

...if it were real you would have leathers and a helmet on teh infant

I was just reminded of the movie "Raising Arizona" though it wasn't a motorcycle.

Acutally, at one point the bounty hunter had placed the baby and child seat on the front handlebars of his bike, after grabbing the seat as it sat in the middle of the road. I don't quite remember how the baby got off the bike.

oh yeah, I forgot about that...I was just thinking about the baby in the middle of the road.

Alright you caught me! We used that for our baby announcement. We took the picture in front of our house and even the neighbors driving by were giving me looks! Our second son was very premature and ended up coming home in a car bed, there was no way to strap that to the motorcycle...

lol thats great man! :D

...nice chop btw, very realistic lighting and shadows

I can only wish I were tall enough to reach the ground on that new two fifty Yammi! Being of midget stature, I’m relegated to the KLX250SF with knobbies and even then I may need a “KoubaLink” and a 350 kit to stay up with my buddies. What I’d like to know is how come they equipped the little Dual Sport with fuel injection and give the fastest Super Cross racer of all time a frickin carburetor?!?:p

Sweet bike, ride safe and thanks for posting.

Now that I go back and look at it, it does look like your leg is in a position to hold the bike upright, instead of on the footpeg. Nice job

I sometimes wish I went with the WRX to have a little more fun on the streets. The SF is cool looking, and if you have the knobs, you must be able to play in the dirt. Being a 250, my friend kills me on the street with his XR650. But I'll take the lower weight of the WRR for dirt. :D

Yeah, kind of odd Stewart doesn't have FI. He's been dominating since he dumped in race 1 or 2(?).

I bought the Ridgeline mainly because I need to haul a bike to the track for track days. Had a Grand Cherokee before the Ridge and used a trailer for the bikes, but the trailer was taking up too much room in the garage so it had to go. Haven't had a chance to load a bike in the Ridge yet, and I'm usually going to be taking my friend's bike too, so we'll see how well both bikes fit in the back...

Anyway, here's some random pics of my bikes through the years. Don't have a pic of my current bike, but it's just a stock 2005 R1 so nothing exciting...

1) On the grid for my 1st race ever, riding a 1997 ZX-7R
2) Same bike but with green fairings right off Doug Chandler's superbike
3) Replaced the Kawi with a 2000 GSXR750

1) Same GSXR, new paint job
2) My pride and joy, a 1999 R1 with custom black paintjob and other goodies
3) What can I say, I'm a big squid at heart...

Flip flops, shorts and street wheelies...:eek:..well at least you wore a helmet:rolleyes:

sick bikes pgrider! the flip flop wheelie is b4d455!

I can only wish I were tall enough to reach the ground on that new two fifty Yammi!
the dealer tells me you can adjust the suspension a bit, to lower the seat height, but I think he just means lower the pressure which would in turn soften the ride. unless it has threaded shock housing?? :confused:

I sometimes wish I went with the WR250X to have a little more fun on the streets.

wr250r is a sick bike! I am having the hardest time deciding between the x(sumo) and the r(enduro) I love them both but for different reasons!!

is it possible to get a wr25or and then get a different rear sprocket and 2nd set of wheels with street tires? ...if possible, is it really feasible to think i could switch tires when my mood changes?

spun, here is link to a thread on ThumperTalk that has some info. Lots of good searchable info on the Yamaha Daul Sport forum on this idea.

I agree. Please tell me that is a photoshop.

My favorite ride..... 2006 Harley Softail Deluxe. 100% in Chrome with custom paint. It's made one Budweiser Ad 2 years ago; but I never touch the stuff. I got heart and soul and my wallet in this one.........

Honda, Honda here's mine "86" Magna 10231 miles.

Oh man... does that bring back memories of my beloved 1986 VF700C Magna. What a terrific bike.
