Nice treatice ..you summed it up pretty well. One does bond with one's personal conveyance. Be it a rent-a-car that shared some hair-raising, crazy, I should've been arrested moments, to my 60 Cad that has been my partner in crime for 26 years, to my 47 knuckle...still chuggin, to my new bagger. Sometimes it isn't so much a factor of time, so much as what those times were like. My new bike already has 40,000 miles of soul installation. It's getting there... If my Caddy could talk...I'd have to tell her to shut up, luckily we have a deal. My old shovelhead got sold off to witness protection. She definitely knew too much...
How old is this thread anyhow?

 

My old race bike 1999 SV650. Getting jiggy in Turn 2 at Sears Point. Great bike, GSXR 750 front end, Marchecini wheels, 180 rear tire, braced swing arm.

 

My old DRZ400E. Sure do miss that bike, but I didnt ride it near enough. I'll likely have another one some day. Picture taken about 40 miles up in the hills outside Gold Beach, OR. And no, its not a small bike, I'm just a large fooker.

 

The fist pic is my 79 fx,im on the left and my friend/speedmentor ted growbowski is on the right .This was taken at the winners circle at the ahdra finals in rockingham n.c. i just won steetpro ran 10.80in the finals and ran a 10.68@125 fri nite test n tune,a personal best.street trim,no wheeliebar,no airshifter,no slick.the second picks are my 67flh all original inc paint.My wife and i were on our way to mertle beach and after 12 hours we stopped in north carolina and stayed in a flea bag motel.My only request was to stay on the ground floor.I have owned the 79 since 1984 and the 67 since 2001,kinda love my shovels.............1fastfx.....gary

LMAO we have the same knee pucks....

 

Not HAMB friendly, but all I have that runs at the moment! '93 Suzuki GS500 w/lots of mods including full GSXR suspension. Lots of fun in the twisties and on the track...but not a whole lot of oomph in the straights.

Here's some pics of a KLR650 Chopper that I thought was interesting. I found these pics online somewhere.

Kinda homely, but a fun concept I think.

ChopTop and ChopPop (R.I.P.) before and after taking our first Land Speed Record in 2001. We officially held the worlds SLOWEST land speed record, 36 MPH and change. 50cc SC-G class.

 

it felt much sillier than it looks, and it looks pretty silly. ChopPop and I giggled like school girls all way home from the Salt. One of the best memories of the time with my Dad. We had a BLAST.

 

That's where it's at. Records get broken, but a good day out is something you can hang on to.

 

Hell ya! Thats what life is all about. Good for you and your dad. You know he's thinking the same.

 

Here`s one of mine

 

Here is my old one that I just sold a couple months ago..It started as a Yamaha xs650... I liked it..thats all that counts...Basically used stuff that I found laying around and came up with this.

 

Di I spy ARDUN in the background?? You need a 35 year old son by any chance?

 

Here is some pics of my '68 Kawasaki W1
