Hmmm...bikes? Yeah...I've got a few. I ride 5-6 days per week, 52 weeks per year (not super easy in IL).

Kona Kilauea steel singlespeed mtb
Milwaukee Bicycle Company steel singlespeed mtb
Quiring custom steel fatbike...5" tires
Trek Madone carbon road bike
Breezer Lightning steel mtb (lives in Colorado)
and my new baby...
Ibis Ripley carbon full-suspension mtb

I probably put more miles on those than a lot of guys put on their motorcycles, lol.

Seems only right that I combine my two loves, no? We travel like this frequently...well...with the bikes wrapped up in padding and bungee'd to the bolster...

Well, between the Madone and the Ripley, you’re well over MSRP on a new Sportster. You could always trade in the compression shorts for some leathers, but be warned- it ain’t easy being fat and greasy. LOL

Tractionless

Ducati 1098 and HD VRSCR. Prefer the boat to both as it's more exclusive. Plus, I've been motorcycling, including road racing for 15 yrs. so meh, been there done all of that.

I have a custom with a 330 rear, its not as bad as people think, its not something you want to go on a long ride on but to spend a few hours out and about its fine....

Not sure if one is better than another, on the road i am avoiding idiots texting or whatever, in the water I’m avoiding jets skis and weekend warriors. Seems lately they both have just been sitting and my horses/cattle been getting all the attention.

After 24 years of not even sitting on a bike, I got back into riding about a year and a half ago. Bought a FI FatBoy. Took my Wife for a ride.....she didn't like being on the back. Off she went to HD Riding Academy. Had never ridden a motorcycle before and two weeks later, she gets her own FatBoy!! She's got about 1000 miles under her belt and is doing great!! A few months ago, she says that I should get a bigger bike so she could ride on the back on days when she doesn't want to ride her bike. Who am I to argue?!!! LOL
So, now we have three bikes. I pretty much ride every day, except on Wednesdays, that is golf league day, so I drive my car.

Craig bikes look great, seems FL has been a good fit!

What was the outcome with your water in fuel issue?

OldSchool

LOL, retirement has been a good fit!!!

Haven't messed with the boat, other than using it. I just spend 5 minutes before boating and check it. Sometimes there's a bit of water, sometimes not! Weirdest chit I've ever seen!!
