Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have


The thread about what AudiogoNers drive is fun to see, but I was wondering what kind of motorcycles are represented by the crazy people here? I know this has been discussed a little on other threads, but If we can slip this by the censors, it might be fun.

I have a Victory V92C. It's a few years old now, but it still a fun cruiser!

What about you?

So we are now into the musical portion of the program. My ride is a Honda VTR 1000 sportbike which is just a clone of the basic Ducati design (same bore and stroke--but not the exotic valve arrangement). I used to be a Honda V-4 man and that beast was quite musical. The V_4 had a rather pleasant mellow attack with a beautiful resonant soundstage. Most people would comment on the excellent midrange but I am the kind of guy who likes a liitle more authority and attitude so the VTR (V Twin)fills the bill quite nicely. Now I have serious bass and very fast attack and well the imaging is beyond anything you can imagine. Color me crazy but that big savage beast can really sing. As a drummer I quite appreciate the thumpa thumpa cadence that exits the tuned exhaust (no black diamonds here!) Indeed I have been known to drive for hours while working on beats----HEY it sure beats practicing with a metronome!

As anyone who enjoys riding will tell you having a partner to ride (with) can be a lot of fun. My partner (wife)couldn't stand me having all the fun so -----you guessed it she found her own twin which is identical to MY!! twin.
So much for being manly. So there you go a little story about Mike and Barb two twin biker folk. Oh I almost forgot to mention that she likes tubes, Miles Davis, plays a mean Fender bass and has absolutely no fear of cueing up our Rega P-25 turntable. How bad is that?
