Default C7 and motorcycles

How many the C7 owners here on the forum also ride motorcycles? Washed and waxed both of them yesterday, and left the car in the garage today and took the Ducati for a ride out to Paint Bank, VA on a beautiful sunny day. Such hard decisions

BMW R1200 GSA. I started riding in 1998 and now have about 300K on this, and other BMWs I've had over the years. Long trips include Mexico, Central America, Canada, and Alaska.



BTW, this pic was snapped on Beartooth Pass heading into Yellowstone. If you are a rider and you haven't ridden Beartooth Pass, you must!

Nice Duc! Another fellow Duc owner! Good thread, I'd like to see who else rides?

First one: setting the guy in front up for an over/under pass on my Duc...
Second one: shaking down dealer's Pani, with street tires and street set up to see what it's capable in stock form, back when they first came out.
Third: my MVF4...

Does ex-vette owner count? I just sold my C6Z. Only 1500 miles on the bike and I'm selling it too.

Nice Thruxton! I use to ride a Triumph ST, but sold it and took a break from motorcycles until I bought the Monster in 2014. Living in SW Virginia, one of the best motorcycling locations in the USA, I felt compelled to get back into it.

Here is my 2015 KTM 350exc I just reskinned as a Six Days replica. I know it's road bikes thus far but the KTM is plated so I figure it counts.

Thanks! I was actually debating the new norton commando 961 in silver, sick bike but limited dealer network.

Love the Duc's if I still lived in AZ I would have to have the panigale, absolutly sick! Love the MZ and Aprillias. Damn I miss the track but so far for me and season so short now that I live in WI.

lets see what else I have on this phone you guys might dig this bike 916/933 sadly parted the bike

Wow found my first club racing pic feels like so long ago

Western Wyoming has been on my must ride list for a number of years but I never seem to be able to get it done. Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons...it's not even that far from me in Vegas but somehow the timing never works out. It's also a miserable ride from Las Vegas because of the temperature. You can really only do those areas in mid summer when it's into the 110's here in Vegas and most of the way there. I'd brave the way up as I can leave really early AM but the ride back home will suck.
