Sold my DRZ400sm a few days ago and bought this SV650S. I loved my tard, but needed a daily driver that wouldn't wake up the neighbors at 6am. I will definitely by getting another tard when I can afford it again.

You may be right, 66.5 mph @ 10160 rpm was the reading from hitting the recall button so it could have been 4th gear. |

My 2013 Kawasaki ZX10R. It's basically stock but I installed Woodcraft frame sliders, a Zero Gravity windscreen and cleaned up the back end. The rear fender/turn signals were huge and looked terrible so I changed them around. I put a Vortex license plate bracket and MotoDynamics euro-style turn signals on it. I found a black license plate frame with an LED tag light on Amazon and ordered that the other day. I actually like riding it with the stock exhaust. It's nice and quiet, and it doesn't seem to attract negative attention like some of my other bikes have in the past. I really like this bike. It's stupid fast, faster than my Hayabusa, but it handles like a 600 in comparison. I got rid of my 2011 GSXR750 to get the Ninja and I know I made the right choice. The 750 was a wonderful motorcycle, I put over 10,000 miles on it last year, but I wanted something different. This one was a leftover and I got a really good deal on it. I've had it for about 6 weeks and it just turned 1,700 miles. |

I just realized I never got around to posting pictures in this thread of the addition to the garage, a '13 HD Wide Glide I bought new off the dealer's floor this May. Still a work in progress but she's getting there, over the winter I'll be doing some engine mods and suspension work and general maintenance but here's how she looked the first part of September...

And 18 years before that I rode to Maine, from Arizona, and back starting the day after I graduated from high-school (as a pencil necked kid) At least I still know how to have fun biking in my senior years!   |

A couple my brother built. They are pretty far apart when it comes to the style.
The first is a Buell XB based bike that was at the Michael Lichter Built For Speed display at Sturgis this year:  And the next is his 1940 knucklehead powered build. It's a pretty cool bike. It won the JP Cycles Ultimate Builder Grand Champion Award at the Progressive Insurance International show in Chicago this year. He also took it to the Brooklyn Invitational where it was awarded the Mooneyes Pick. The bike is now on its way to Japan to be in the Yokohama Hot Rod and Custom Show. My brother is the guy in the middle and some of the others are Keino from Keino Cycles and Shige Suganuma from Mooneyes:  |
