Hey, sorry I've been out of it for a while. The facility I work at in Portland, and the one I support in Seattle, was purchased by another company... and the transition has been a PITA! Luckily, though, they offered me a job, so I'm ok there.

The Guzzi is SWEET! No, I haven't seen it. I was SERIOUSLY looking at a Guzzi Centauro at one point, as well as a V11 Basa. But when it came down to it, money wise, warranty wise, I ended up buying an '05 Suzuki Boulevard C50. I need to post pics. I've lowered it 2.5", taken off the pillion seat and added a small curved rack... looks nice. I'd like to start "un"-chroming some things and blacking them out... like some blacked-out exhaust pipes I'm modding, the air filter housing, bars and risers.

We'll see. Nice Guzzi!

That Motoguzzi is FINE!

I think most of you have seen my two bikes. My '97 TL1000s and my lastest edition; The Aprilia RS250. My bike scene began when my oldest brother came home from the Navy in '72. He bought a CL350 Honda; I thought that was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen! He took me for a ride and I was hooked! my first bike was a TT250 Suzuki (2 stroke) which fouled spark plugs continuously! and then had a '74 XL350 street/trail bike which I had a lot of fun on! Then an Ossa 250 trials bike of which I learned a great deal on! Then another XL ,but a 250 which was more fun than the 350!

Believe it or not, but I had a BMW 750! faring, saddlebags, etc. Provided me with a lot of trouble and great expense in spite of what BMW's history.

After that, I got married and all the biking seemed to disappear until about 13 years later when the divorce came about. I met a guy that had a Beautiful Haybusa and I immediately found my first sportbike: a 97 Suzuki Katana, then a 98 GSXR600 (crashed it), got my EX500 race bike and had it until a few months ago when I upgraded to my RS250!
I then had an Aprilia RS50 which was REALLY fun! but had to sell it due to finacial things!
And finally, my 97 Suzuki TL1000s which I dearly love!

I hope one day to have another street/trail bike and a couple more for my daughters! and hopefully my husband! and I would like another RS50 too!

I love motorcycles!

I started on a Yamaha DT250 in 1974. Bought a Suzuki GS-400 in '80 for my fiance. We soon sold the Suzi and bought a '76 KZ-900, which I rode until going overseas in '87. Didn't get another bike until '96 when the wife and I bought a pair of NOS '92 CB750 Nighthawks. I traded my tired Nighthawk for my current ride, a new '2000 CBR-600F4, in Mar 2000, and had a lot of fun racing (errr, riding) with the litre bikes up in the mountains west of here. Late last year I toyed with the idea of upgrading to an '05 Goldwing. But my commute is now 90 miles of bumper-to-bumper traffic and I have little time to ride any more.

For 3 years ('94,'95,'96) I owned a 1980 Harley Davidson Sportster 1000 bored out 30 over during her rebuild by previous owner. Also had a Makuni Carburator and was black & Chrome with Black leather saddle-bags. Picked her up for $2500.00 and put 9K miles on her over the 3 yrs and sold her for $3000.00

What's everyone think of the Honda Valkyrie Rune? :-)

[Dallas4u]

About the Rune... you'll get a lot of people called it the 'Ruined', but I gotta say Honda had some large cajones to put out a factory custom like that.

It's big, but in person, it's awe inspiring!

What's everyone think of the Honda Valkyrie Rune? :-)

Too big...too heavy...too expensive...to bling-bling to be taken seriously. (but no bike can ever be too fast.)

Anybody catch the recent episode of Monster Garage where Jessie James was trying to cram a Hyabusa engine with turbo into a go-cart frame? That's insane. That wouldn't work with a stock 'Busa engine. Shame to see a decent drive train go up in flames.
