I am in the motorcycle industry this year marks 20 years for me. The boat has evolved into a tool for me to recharge the creative juices, to get away from the 2 wheelers for a bit. Wrenching and running the boat has inspired 2 bike products, 1 in our list of offerings and 1 in development now. I have found many people on here and at Poker Runs that ride bikes and many conversations have gone way long talking about riding, road racing, building, etc. Some of my current bikes:

Sweet scoots. Makes me want to build another brat. Sold my DS7 and RD350 several years ago, and had a CB750 with goodies from CycleXchange prior to those. But if I find a barn find CB or KZ, VoodooMoto will be my first call for some copper pipes. That Repsol replica Fireblade is wicked, too!

Worked on the copper coating for awhile, really looks great on Cafe builds. Give me a shout when ready, I know a guy.

Bikes & Boats-20161029_132317.jpgBikes & Boats-img_20161022_102039.jpg2 bikes right now.....'02 HD Deuce and '16 HD Street Glide. Currently boatless and looking. I always said I could give up the boat, but not riding. Not that I don't truly love boating, but the bikes are less hassle and less expense.

I have a 2015 Harley Road Glide Special I bought new....did a 3500 mile ride in 2016 to Sturgis, then circled north through Canada before heading back south to home. Great experience and I love a good road trip! Always had bikes, mostly sport bikes, then started a family 20 years ago and bought a boat and sold my bikes. I told people I had just as much fun on a boat, but you can bring people along for the ride. Didn't have a bike for years until 2015 when I was really missing it and the kids were in High School; so bought another one. Bikes are just so much easier. If I have a couple hours free; the bike is right in the garage and I can go for a ride. The boat was always at LOTO 2 hours away; so it was a weekend commitment.
Now I live in a smaller lake community; so the marina is 5 minutes away.
I love them both!

I have boats and bikes....I still have the boat. I have much more fun on the boat over the bike.

1966 Triumph Bonneville T120R. Love it, but will never replace the boat.
