Bought this over the winter.

Still trying to get it sorted out.
Hope to be riding it this season.
I have 2 other modern bikes that I ride almost daily

Last time was the Rally. Still need to clean it and also figure out where that darn oil leak is coming from, somewhere on the bottom. I have a new toy to add to it so that should be some inspiration. Too many house projects and keeping up with the kids. And now, it is too friggin HOT!

Maybe this weekend I'll get to it. The Venture has not been started in a while either. The kids want to go for a ride. I only let them ride on the Venture, it has a backrest. They like to talk to me while we ride also, it has an intercom.

I do not like the bikes sitting out in the heat for a long time. I have had one seat melt (yea, chunks of it would stick to my arse) and that recover cost me almost $500.

Rode the CB750 early this afternoon. After the ride I parked it in the garage. A little while later I decided to work on my 71 BSA Lightning. The centerstand on the BSA became stuck in the expansion strip which runs down the center of the garage floor. I went to free it and it went over on its side. The CB with it's 500 pounds of solid muscle stopped the fall with only a tweeked front fender on the BSA. It's nice having a big brother to watch out for it garage mates.

The last time I rode my bike was the 6th of this month. (I had to go look at the scavenger hunt thread to see when I made the windmill mark.

)

I'm on mine at least once a week when the weather is crappy like it has been lately, cold and wet. My missus has actually said to me a couple of times that she left England to get away from weather like this, this year has been the coldest and wettest winter I can remember around here. Normally we rarely get below 15c maximums, and the cold days don't usually get here till the end of July, this year we have already had a few days colder than that and it has hardly stopped raining, and this is our dry season. When the weather is good, I'm on it nearly everyday, the car hardly gets used.

I don't think I'm a poser.

I bought the bike with a stuck engine and I am trying to find the funds and time to get it back together after tearing it apart.

Somewhere between every day and once a week. I rode every month for the last year and a half. it was a mild winter for here in the midwest.

Same in Virginia. I wanted to do frame up over last winter, but the winter never came.

Hot here today in the mid 90's so we just came home from a night run around the city. With the wife on the back we started out around the chain of lakes, Cedar Lake, Lake of the Isles, stopping at Lake Calhoun for a sunset dinner on the waterfront patio of the best fish and chips joint in the city. Continued on around Lake Harriet to Minnehaha Creek and followed that parkway to the Mississippi River where we picked up West River Road Parkway and followed it into downtown. Took a little break at the Stone Arch Bridge for a walk across to check out St Anthony Falls. Lots of rain in the state recently and the falls are roaring near flood stage. 200 yards back and 100 feet above the falls we had a breeze that blew the mist from the falls to cool us off. We then took a ride down Hennipen Avenue, the heart of the city club and theatre district. Bright neon lights, clubbers, hustlers, hookers, gangbangers, suburbanites coming in to catch a show, always something to look at. Topped off the evening with a stop at Sebastion Joe's for homemade blackberry chocolate chip ice cream. Man, I love this city.

been almost over a year. It was july last year when i pulled a freshly rebuilt, 5k mile motor for an oil pump related failure. trashed pistons, rings, cylinders, cam and towers. My 76 750F now sits waiting on rings for a confirmed under 500 mile 78 F3 motor that has sat wrapped up under bench at a dealership until my part time boss aquired it.

Rode it to go look at a car.
Rode it back, had someone drive me back to buy it.
Couple of days ago. I ride it mostly on weekends, but sometimes during the week.
