This is a pic of my '85 FXSB before replacing the FXSB dash and frontend to a FXWG. Sold a few months ago because I'm getting too old to ride very far without hurting. Had it for 17yrs. Before that, I had a new '79 GS750 that I'd built before it had 5k mi.

Nice... like the forward controls and Mustang seat... they are awesome!
Sorry you had to get rid of it... I don't like the thought of NOT being able to ride, been at it for nearly 50 years now, but all good things come to an end at some point...

Had this bike for 16 years. I must say I haven't ridden as much since the C5 purchase between the distracted drivers, deer, and other varmints it just isn't as much fun as it used to be.

I don't really care for the wagon wheel... and maybe some ape hangers would help... I would lower it just a tad also.. I do like the color

Sorry about your accident...

Been riding for at least 40 years. Have had the opportunity to ride to 49 states and 4 providences of Canada. 2 wheels have always been one of my passions.

My former ride. Crashed way too many times. The bike is gone and i am now loving my 2001 C5. Had a blast on the bike for many years. But it was time.

It was a 2000 Ducati 996S. With a bunch of go fast and stop fast goodies.

My last bike was a '93 Dyna LowRider that I did alot of performance mods to. If I can find a pic I'll post it. Sold it due to less riding since also having a street rod and my Vette. However I still have the bike I bought almost brand new in 1971, it's a Honda CB750 K1 with only 12,000 miles on it. I built it into a cafe racer in the early 70's and now I'm trying to get motivated to finish rebuilding it and putting it back on the road. My wife would rather I sold it but at this point that isn't happening.

I don't ride anymore. Last week found pictures online of when I was at the Dragon in 2003. I miss riding but decided to to get a convertible for the open air.

I am finding it less stressful in the vert as opposed to riding... riding just takes soooo much attention, it makes the vert seem like a much safer place to be ... and I suppose it is

A passion of mine as well. Owned 2 wheels since I was 8. At 55, I have logged many miles one up, and two up. Harleys, Honda sport tourers, and Triumphs to name a few. Also a member of the Iron Butt Association. Sold all of mine and bought the Vette. The more idiotic things I saw on the highways involving cell phones, the more I moved away from traveling on bikes. To be fare, it was more about my passenger and my wife of 35 years than me. Loved every mile and minute of it.

A few photos on the Dragon and elsewhere
