What would be your next motorcycle?
« on: July 13, 2017, 08:11:07 AM »

If money was no issue and it didn't matter if your rode two-up or not what would be your next bike? (include a photo if you can)

for me it would have to be a Triumph Thruxton 1200 R

I ride with the Triumph group sometimes. Kevin is a Thruxton fan. Puts knobbies on it and rides the back roads of Big Bend twice a year.

I want to try an Adventure type bike. Money no problem, a KTM 1290 Super Adventure.

To clarify, I plan on riding my Street Glide until I cannot ride any longer.  However, I have been eyeballing a used FZ07 as a possible second bike...very light and lots of pep.

This may sound strange coming from the mouth of a hard shell 1800 rider but I've wanted a Harley, yes it's true Rocket, for awhile now but nothing out there in their line really tickled my fancy until I saw this one west of Llano about 20 miles at a bar one day. It looked like me and I'd love to have it.

What I do today is very important because
I traded a day of my life for it.

Whatever you want to do, do it now.

Your Street Glide won't last that long  ;D

I would just like for my home life to settle down enough so I can go put a rear tire on my 1800 and ride it. Well, after I get it inspected and registered again. LOL. Connie and I tried to get some rides going when we first moved here but didn't get a lot of response either.

Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.
