Yep that's me...but definitely not taken in the DR! There aren't a lot of good roads here for stretched choppers, that's for sure...

It's the same link from cobraboy's post...I figured out how to re-post it, here you go...me on my Bourget Low Blow Chopper....cruising down A1A in South Beach, FL...
I used to have a plastic plated crotch rocket (Honda CBR 600) when I lived in the UK.
Here in the DR I've got a United Motors trailie bike. A Korean copy of the Honda XR200, which isn't bad. Better than the Chinese bikes.
I'm no where near old enough for a Harley though.

Here's my runabout in the UK. 2005 Kawasaki ER500. Nothing fancy, but does the job.

My main ride. I'm not much for big and heavy. This will take me anywhere I want to go (just not as fast!)

This is my original dual purpose 1970 Yamaha that I still have. Lots of fun to ride back in the 70's. I just keep it around for old times sake but it makes me feel right at home in the DR.

Nice common sense standard...

NICE classic Yamahammer. Wow! I had a YDS3 of around the same vintage,my first real street bike. I had a 60's Cushman Eagle before, but that was different...
My first motocycle was a Honda " trail" 90, and my second one was a 1975 Yamaha RD350 orange and white rocket. I loved that bike. Bike of choice now would be a Triump Street triple R. http://sportbikemoto.info/wp-conten...mph-Street-Triple-R-Detail-Review-Image-9.jpg

I was Brit bike nut for many, many years (no mas.) had gaggles of Trumpets, BSAs, Nortons and Royal Enfields. Never had a Vincent, but loved Hunter S. Thompson compositions about them (Best ever motorcycle review: Song of the Sausage Creature.)
My most rare find, a '70 Bonneville, acquired sight (and mileage) unseen in 1994...with 36 original miles. Heck, it still had the original mineral oil in the crankcase and transparent stickers on the gauges. Now sits in the Suzuki museum in Tokyo...:
(Yes, it's in the dining room. Too nice and rare for the garage...
Beautifull. Haven't seen a Bonneville in .... years. Do you let special guests sit on it for dinner?I was Brit bike nut for many, many years (no mas.) had gaggles of Trumpets, BSAs, Nortons and Royal Enfields. Never had a Vincent, but loved Hunter S.

You'll covet my old daily rider, a '70 BSA Lightning in near-flawless condition (I changed the ignition/charging system from the Lucas):
Another very rare ride, a '68 Triumph T100C Scrambler, a fun, fun bike...the emblems were being restored...:
Real men kick-start their motorcycles...:smoke:
Did you read that HS Thompson review of a Ducati I posted earlier in this thread? You really need to. It's Gonzo journalism at it's best...
