It's Winter Time, Since We Can't Ride 'Em Post Pics

[churchmouse]

Ahhh, thanks for the motorized porn pics here guys and gals. Keep 'em coming!!!

It's great to look at, although I can't contribute seeing as I don't have a bike of my own. The wife put her foot down and said absolutely no to me ever owning one. Unfortunately, 12 years ago when I said "I do", I put my balls in her purse and handed her my crown. I have seen neither since. Hell, after posting this I know someone on this forum will take my man card away, too, removing my last shred of masculinity and dignity. To the three people on INGO that actually like me enough to tolerate me, I hope this doesn't make you no longer like me.

My wife felt the same way when we said I do. The Dyna Wide Glide in my post (#26) is hers. It is no way near stock if you look at the header. Hooker, stage III carb kit, Spec ground Cam lifters and adj. push rods, dual fire ignition. Bike ran mid 15's out of the box and as pictured ran 13.26. Not a rocket but it does roll.
They are trainable sir, they really are.

My mom said the same thing to my dad (bob2) and I. When we finally broke her, we had 4 bikes between the two of us in about a year.

Yes they are, for the most part we all know WHY we do what they say....

One thing nice about growing older is, while at 56 I still enjoy "it" as much as ever, "it" is no longer a controlling factor in my life. "Honey I'm thinking about buying a motorcycle, OH NO YOU'RE NOT. Uh yeah I think I am"...... The freedom brotha!
In my case my wife has her horses, talk about dangerous!

My sister "Had" horses and the property to ride them. Expensive and dangerous. She was thrown in the woods when the horse was startled by whatever (un-known) and she was busted up pretty good. Shoulder surgery and a long recovery. The horses are now on to new homes.

and we did about the same thing with firearms , although they still aren't nearly as easily accepted by her as the bikes were...

Expensive, hell yes much more than my bike. Dangerous hell yes they are, my wife ended up on her head Christopher Reeves style a few years back. Scared the crap out of me as she just laid there for a few moments before she moved. Needless to say that psycho horse is GONE... She loves her horses and nothing I could say would keep her away from them.

I bought this 79 CX 500 Deluxe Feb. 2012...The 70 mile ride home in 20 degrees was the challenge...froze my butt off! I had a Kawasaki 500 Ninja before this but gave it to my son...somehow having to wear a backpack in order to carry something didn't appeal to me.

2 cycles.....not common these days.

I get that having owned several, but a CX 500 was NOT a 2 stroke.

Hmmm. I always thought the CX's were 2 strokers. Learned something.

I'm not aware that Honda ever produced a 2 stroke powered street bike. Honda's claim to fame has always been making power from the 4 stroke engine. They even produced an oval pistoned race bike. It didn't last long as it shredded rear tires. Honda has always done it Honda's way....

Here's my VFR. I gotta get shots of the old-school Honda CJ360T and the Allstate Moped. I'll post those later. I didn't read through the whole thread yet, but I hope you guys are taking advantage of the warm days we have had this month!

Current Ride 02 K1200LT

It's winter, I had it out a couple a weeks ago.
Heated seats and grips and a full windshield do wonders.

Love these. How's it been for ya thus far?

I was out a couple of weekends ago when it was "warm". It was nice to get back out. I had to rejet mine to get rid of a surge and partial throttle flat spot, to test it out I got out Christmas morning and rode it around for about 30 minutes. Had fun dodging the icy spots....
