Thanks.

I always look serious, but, take it like that-I just look serious :D :innoncent:

This is the Suzuki I used to ride two years ago. I don't like being photographed, so mostly it's me who does the pictures. This particular one is of a friend of mine, that bought the bike from me.

This is the Ural, the photo was taken in 2005. We were heading to a biker event in a town, that was 200 kilometrs from where I live. On the 25th kilometer the engine had an oil leak :? and practicly stopped, so we desided to call for a van to take the bike back. But while we were calling, a friend (and a biker, too), who worked for a cargo company passed nearby with his truck and took the bike to Sofia, my home town. :( It was awfully disappointing, but by the time I have allredy purchased the Suzuki and went to the event anyways. :P
By the way, it doesn't look like original Ural, because the front was too low for me (I am quite tall, 178cm, or 5,9in) and i changed it with one from Yamaha Tenere.
Now, I'm becoming too circumstantial, so bye for now, and have a great day :)

I ride a 1994 Yamaha Virago 535...I was hoping to upgrade this spring, but I am not sure that will happen!

Yes was absent for months!!! Sorry!!! I forgot how much I loved these forums :).

Took the bike out today, it was 70 and GORGEOUS!!! Perfect weather again! It's that time again for bike nights :). The boyfriend still rides all the time...I am a pansy ;). I will ride when it's cool, just bundle up!

I am doing well! I am ordering a lazy rider on Friday. I need the back support...and well a place for my purse LOL. I will report on how well I like it. Luckily they sell quick on Ebay, so if I hate it I will just put it on Ebay. I also NEED new glasses! The type I have suck at night!

How are you girls?

Same make, colour and year as mine, good choice if I may say! One question, what is the make of your saddle bags? I've been looking for them for a while without luck.

Hey guys!
I'm new to riding ... and having a blast!!! :mrgreen: (Hey, so what if it IS my midlife crisis?! :laughing: ) Just bought my first bike - an orange '05 Honda Rebel - about a month ago, and still getting my feet wet. :laughing: Taking a safety course in about a month, so hoping to pass and get my license then. Just on my permit now, but getting braver and riding the bike 14 miles to work on nice days. :wink: Luckily a friend of mine just got a bike just like mine a couple of weeks ago and is taking the safety course w/me, so this should be fun! Heck, even the hubby went out and bought a scooter (wus - LOL)! 8) Now I just have to figure out how to attach the saddlebags I bought! :laughing: I don't know how to attach a photo of it on here, but it's on my MySpace page if you want to look - www.myspace.com/tropicswriter . :D Feel free to email me to chat! tropicswriter@hotmail.com [/img]

Welcome to TMW! 14 miles to work and back already! Hope it isn't in heavy traffic!
went out and bought a scooter (wus - LOL)!
Hey! Don't be dissin' the scooter people! Nobody who rides anything on 2 wheels at high speeds on pavement is a wus. In fact, I feel safer on my motorcycle than on my scooter, because it is louder and bigger and a little more visible. He can get killed on a scooter, just like on a bike.

Hi to you all! I'm a new rider as of one year ago. I ride a 2000 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic and LOVE it! Laid 'er down last Sept on a site-seeing ride- lingering too long on a beautiful view of Lake Michigan and missed a curve. Got 2 broken teeth, 4 broken bones and thank God I'm here to tell about it. Anyway, I'm back in the saddle and getting over the "nerves". It's just too bad that work gets in the way when a nice day comes along! It's still chilly in Michigan- brrr!
