Get a restored 1973 Norton Slightly off topic. My step son is going to restore a 1950 600cc Norton. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/XiUaajf.jpg) That should keep him busy, looks like a project..

Just got this one two weeks ago..a leftover new 2022 Trike.. Only because wife - in her current medical condition - cannot get on my other red one... I might use this only 1000-1500 miles/year.. When she's not on with me, I'll use my other red one that I've had for nearly 10 years now ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/BbCZVhC2/Trike.jpg) That ought to cruise in comfort. Actually , it's hard as a rock.. Only have 6 miles on it and next thing I need to do is ease the shock's pre-load settings....

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. All great choices, and I'd happily own any of them. Those Concours are known for being able to run into the 100,000 mile mark. Very strong and reliable engines. Disappointed that Kawasaki never put cruise control on one. As I scan the market now, there are some good deals out there on them. I had a V-Strom 650 many years ago and rode it up in your neck of the woods. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/cJ9wDBN2/motorcycletrip056.jpg)

The buffeting from the windshield was terrible. I never could figure out how to fix that.

Not many people appreciate the pedigree and traditional lines of the Triumph Bonneville. This is a 2002 Bonneville America and has all the class of a clean road bike without a bunch of baggage hanging all over it… ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/c17XZbxm/C67-B788-F-5150-429-A-B6-CC-9-EAB04075-E16.jpg)

A much better way to explore the beautiful backcountry and deviate off the "beaten path" so to speak.  ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/vHfbVzt.jpg)

I've never owned a motorcycle. I'm just a cyclist, and only that since age 50. I've really had a craving lately for one of these. It would be all the motor I ever need. https://www.cycleworld.com/story/buyers-guide/2021-honda-trail-125/

Why Kawasaki has resisted the urge to update to electronic cruise control is beyond me. Even if they offered it as an option for $1k my bet is 75% of new buyers would opt for it.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I had a Husqvarna 360 CR, the same bike the year before that won the motocross championship of the world, but the thing kept trying to leave without me. It idled at 123 db according to the company meter. Nope, it is quiet, street legal Honda CT110, the one with the big rack and high and low range for the trails and a Rokon for off road for me now. After 12 motorcycles, I’m done with the big ones.
My other auto is a .45

I bought a new TW200 last year to back road and scout on. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/L6nyzMQY/IMG-20220520-130339.jpg) Get rid of that front tire. I ride TWs with a bunch of guys and we quickly learned to replace the Bridgestone Deathwing on the front.

I've been tossing around the idea of getting back into motorcycling again. This time probably be an adventure bike like a klr, tenure or African. Been talking to a buddy about buying his non-running xs650 as something to ride until I save up enough for one of the above. I friggin love the Africa Twin and Tenere. They'd be at the top of my list if I was willing to spend that much. My son rides daily, weather and circumstances permitting. He makes it a point to ride some every month, lives in Missouri. He has always had 3 -5 bikes in the stable. Then he got a Honda Africa. After a few months he realized it was all he was riding anymore. Now it’s all he’s got.
