With the recent CCW Motorcycle thread. I was wondering how many other TN guys ride?  It's been a lifelong passion for me.  Anyone else here enjoy it?

A TN Hometown forum ride would be a good time.  

2003 Nomad 1500


2003 ZZR1200

I have been riding for a little over 20 years. I am hoping to pick up another bike in the relatively near future, but for now the one on the left is mine..

I don't have any pictures of mine to post right now, but I currently ride a 2008 Vulcan Mean Streak, the special edition one that is all blacked out.  If everything goes right I will be adding a Ducati 848 Dark to the garage before the end of the year.

My 2 bikes, although the sportster is down for the winter, burnt the clutch out of it last night.

That Sportster looks kind of familiar.  Are you in the Knoxville area?  What year is it?

I live off the Northshore exit of Pellissippi, so I've probably seen you around.  My first HD was 76 bicentennial edition Sportster.  Rode it from Knoxville to Key West and back when I was about 18 years old.  Wish I still had that one.

This was my 09 Suzuki GSXR 600. I got to put 850 miles on it before some idiot kid ran over me with his truck. I have had 5 surgeries, donor transplants, and an expensive-ass helicopter ride since April and am just now getting back to walking again. The moral of the story is: Be careful guys, and have good insurance coverage

Wow... I'm glad you survived that.  I've hit left-turning cars twice in the past 30 years, but always came out with minimal injury.  Most of my bike related injuries were on the race track when I was younger.  They include a broken foot, a broken collarbone, cracked ribs and numerous stitches.  I think my worst fear  is being rear ended at a stop light.

Good luck with healing up.

Yep, been riding on the road (legally) since 1978. Rode Harleys for over 20 years, then I got this in 2002. It's an 02 Road Star Warrior.
 I've got over 30 thousand trouble free miles so far.

I've always liked the Warriors.  I like that V&H Propipe on there too.  Did you change out or put risers on the handlebars?  What's that white cable looking thing on your front brake lever?

I put risers under the bars for comfort. Not sure what you mean about the white cable looking thing, unless it's the brake lines themselves. I put all stainless braded hoses and cables on it.

It may be your throttle cables I’m seeing.  I guess they look tight/straight because of the risers.  I put risers on my ZZR and it pulled the brake line out fairly tight too, although you can’t see it because of the fairing.

It's probably just the way they are hanging in the picture. They are +2" in length, witch worked out to be plenty.

So everyone, when is the first official TN. ARFCOM ride?
