Finally a Buell that looks cool. I wouldn't have stretched the swing arm but the rest of the bike is very nice.

What is the point of stretching the swing arm? Seeing that a lot lately.. Not liking the look, could it be a performance thing?

I like the look of the tire being "away" from the bike. but there is such a thing as too far.

I think it pulls from the drag bikes and people have just been using it as another from of creative bike building.
Unless you're drag racing I can't think of any other reason.

Hehe, sorry man. It's not that I don't like them it's just that I never see them customized in a way that makes want said custom.
When I had my chance to ride any bike Harley made at '07 Sturgis the Buell was the one I picked. I didn't mean to come off as hating on them. ;D

Okay, a local museum has a motorcycle display going on. Some classics, some choppers, some race bikes, some dirt bikes... here is a bit of a selection as taken with my camera phone (sorry if some are repeats):

The Jesse James side car bike:


here's one just for Bill:


I would LOVE to own this one:





A rotary engined Suzuki:







A small herd of Maico's:


Some race bikes:







Umm.... I don't know...


This one had a cool video of it running going on in the back ground


A Ness, dual V-Twin chopper. How would you like to muckle onto this one?


A local Artist names Tommy Graves built this one. He calls it, "Smack Down."

why do they cover up the engine song on those videos.
I don't want to hear rock'n'roll, I want to hear ignited fuel blasting out of tuned exhaust pipes.

edit: a V12 BMW makes one of the prettiest sounds in the world. then add a chirpy blow off valve in there, and a nice open wastegate....   MMMMMmmmmMMMM #$%*!

I'm glad somebody else noticed it - I could have sworn this thread was up to the high 160's or low 170's in pages.  ???

I'll have a Samuel Jackson.


The quad-bike reminded me of the Dodge Tomahawk.
No matter how fast or how far I rode, I couldn't leave her memory behind.
