![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/tNCSXZl.jpg) Plain Jane 2009 Harley Lowrider. Nice bike, all stock. I'm an old guy, and I ride like one. My wife is usually on the back, and I don't want to kill her! Kinda a deviation for me. Most of my bikes have been more sport oriented. I've done it since 1972. That thing is clean! My first real motorcycle was a Honda XL100 that I bought in 1980. I have had everything from touring bikes, to super scooters, to sport bikes, to adventure bikes to dual sports and now these scooters. I guess it's in my blood. I ride like an old man too...most of the time. Has 36,000 on it. It isn't hard to keep clean. I don't ride in bad weather much. I got it 3 years ago, with 10000 on the clock. Back when I commuted on a bike, I rode in everything. A lot more miles than now!

I bought a new TW200 last year to back road and scout on. I have always liked those and could easily own one if I had better access to some trails and gravel roads. Man, they hold their value too. I have been surfing ads lately, and haven't found one selling for less than $4000.

![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/640x480q70/922/Gqv5KF.jpg) Works great for camping in the mountain, trout fishing and gets very good gas mileage The rifle scabbard was kind of a pain, now I just Bungy the rifle across the ppaniers and it is easier to camp with. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/640x480q70/922/DIlf7o.jpg)

I also had a 75 R90/6 (the one that hooked me). I've had a lot of Harleys, and various goldwings including a Valkyrie and none compare to to old airheads.

Picked up a little 250 Nighthawk last year to putt back and forth to work on the cheap after being without a 2 wheeler for several years. It feels like a bicycle compared to the cruisers I'd owned previously, but it was cheap, is really easy on gas, and just plain fun to buzz around country roads or in town. It's basically a 5 speed scooter 😂 ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/qhwFqMWm/IMG-20230219-140620.jpg)

Always wanted a bike but I'm a clutz and prone to accidents and know I would kill myself on one. So I admire them from afar.
However I am digging the trikes!

The last four I owned were my most favorite. Each had a different style depending on my mood for that day.
Suzuki V Strom 1050. Great do it all fun bike. It could of used cruise control.
Kawasaki Z900, really fun but needed another 20-30 hp. Surprised it fit my old body
Triumph Tiger 800. Very comfortable and fun.
Kawasaki Concours 1400. Better be on your A game if you decided to open the throttle the entire way.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

V-Strom does a lot of things well. I’ve been out of the MC game for a while, but guys used to use a large O-ring as a low rent throttle lock.
