Don't ride any more, but I had a Honda ST1100 which I loved but it was too tall for me. I dearly wanted a Kawasaki Concours a couple of years ago but decided I wanted to live a little longer. Lots of people get killed in Jax. every year. Some through their own fault, some through the fault of others!

That was my last bike. A little high for me but plenty of punch in the brown stuff.

'88 Ducati 750 Paeso. Last one with carbs. Going to have to sell it because I'm getting too old to feel comfortable on it.

1986 Suzuki GSXR 1100. Near mint condition, never dropped or repainted. A couple of thoughtful upgrades, and a LOT of candy for a dime. Regretfully, I have it up for sale, as I can no longer ride it.

Its been two years since selling my last bike and couldn't stand it anymore. Picked up this new 2018 beauty for just under $10K. Even though it is classified as an "Adventure bike" doubt it will see much gravel. Tons of power, very smooth, comfortable upright seating position and so far close to 50 mpg. Way faster than I need. Was originally looking for a 650 but seemed Suzuki had a glut of 1000 models so they were being discounted heavily while the 650's were selling closer to sticker. A set of nice panniers will be added soon.
2018 Suzuki V Strom 1000 XT

Really like that bike. I see a lot of different bikers come through my small town, many (I believe)
head up to Jackson Hole.

One guy had a bike like yours and started on the east coast, came through Utah, and was headed to Newfoundland.

I bought a KLR 650 (older model) last year. I like it so far. I will probably do some back country riding

I don't ride anymore but in the day,2 of my favorites were a Norton Commando + a Triumph 650 Bonneville.About 3 years ago my son (who rides all the time) bought me a H-D Electra Glide.I told him I don't want it,thank you anyway.I felt too old for that + I've already done my time not to mention even a minor accident would put me out of business or deads.Funny how time changes some perspectives.

1. 2018 husqvarna TX300
2. 2016 Gas Gas Raga Replica trials bike 280cc two stroke
3. 2013 KTM 250 Xc
4. 2009 KTM 200 Xc really a rare and great bike
5. 2006 KTM 950 adventure with extended suspension

And here I am, almost having died of DKA at 54 wanting to get everything out of life..........and googling where I can get classes for a motorcycle license.........

2005 H-D Fatboy hardly ever ride it.

I like your attitude! I hope you are on the mend!

That Indian has to be about the coolest thing I've seen in a long time ... maybe ever!!!

This is my old guy.. A 1935 VLD low compression sport model.

This is what I use to do for the "Need for Speed"!

I stopped riding about 6 yrs ago as I live in the middle of the concrete jungle and people pay little attention to anything other than their best friend in life (cell phone).
I still have my 99 wide glide being little more than garage art.
I sometimes dream about a bagger and getting out on the road.
Miss the wind in my hair..
Bought a convertible but it is not the same.

My GenII Busa.

2012 H-D ultra Limited, just turned over 42,00 miles.

My latest is a 2019 R1250GS in Namibia. But I'm currently without two wheels here in the States.
