Just curious, how many of us are also motorcyclists, and what do you ride? I've been riding 42 years, and current rides are a Suzuki Cavalcade and a Goldwing.

I am starting my second season on a Yamaha XS650, my first bike. Just had it on its first long ride of the year, and it performed beautifully.

The Buell Ulysses is an awesome bike, I'd love to have one.

1977 XL125 (with Chinese 200cc Lifan engine, 12v & starter, geared up) 1980 XL80 (with XL75 tank & bars, tail light from SL125, geared up)

I appreciate a small maneuverable bike. 125 gets about 60mpg in heavy neighborhood driving, the 80 get about 95mpg. Almost all on-road, no freeway.

Riding dirt since I was 13, street since 16, now 34. Bikes I've had in the past include: 73 Honda 350 scrambler, 87 Honda CB750F supersport, 92 Honda Shadow, 04 Yamaha R6, 86 Goldwing. The only two-wheeler I have right now is my 94 Yamaha WR250 dirt bike so currently no street riding for me, except the rare few times my buddy lets me play with his 07 Yamaha R1.

Currently I'm streetbikeless :(, but I have a 2006 Kawisaki KX250F MXer that sees track duty.

I've been through a '76 Kawi KZ650 (really miss that one), an '86 Ninja 600, a '94 CBR600 (really miss that one, too), a '94 CBR900RR, an '04 Honda Shadow 750, an '84 Honda Hawk GT, an '05 Suzuki Burgman 400 and a '99 BMW R1100RT.

I'll have another streetbike someday, but I'm not in a hurry.

Interestingly, my brother just bought a 1981 GS450 yesterday for his son to ride. It's in really nice shape, only about 8,000 miles on it.

Used to do the crotchrocket thing; had to give it up. Still keep my licence, though.. never know when something might pop up.

I only have one pic of the KX, which is kind of sad, for what should be fairly obvious reasons.

I've been riding since I was 10 but I haven't ridden much in the past few years. I still have a Honda CB 550F Supersport under a dusty cover and just for kicks, I picked up a CT70 Minitrail last fall.

The GS is a good bike. Check out GSResource for all your bike fixin' needs. It's been simple to work on so far - mine has all of 5k miles on it!

If I can find a place to store one, I may get a bike shortly.

I like the GS450 that 914driver has, what I can see of it anyway...
