    Just wondering if anyone else is a motorcycle junkie out there. I always start getting stir crazy around this time of year. It's been too long I wanna ride.
    If there are any others on the forum what do you ride?

    This is my other passion besides the fishes.
    2003 Buell XB9S Lightning that I converted the tail section to that off a XB12R. For anyone that doesn't know buells, It's basically the sports bike divison of Harley. Take a harley V-Twin engine and shove it into the shortest wheelbase possible and you have a mean bike.

    That is a cool bike man - have a buddy who used to have one!

    My first was a 78 Honda Cb750K - loved that bike and still on the road today

    One of my college professors rode one of those 80's Suzuki GL1100 and I was surprised at how much pick-up it had.

    I started out on a 1996 Yamaha 600. 6 months into my first bike a cager pulled out in front of me to cross the 4 lane highway I was on and I t-boned em at 60 MPH. Totaled the bike, I was ok just a broken leg, fractured shoulder and some road rash. Bought a 2001 GSXR-750 while I was still on crutches, sold that when my son was born and I just got the Buell 3 years ago.
