Post pictures of your other bikes
Just to help with kiiling time before the official reveal of the HD Street later, I thought it would be nice to see what bikes we all have and owned in the past.
Post them up!

Any pictures from when it got rear-ended? Curious how it looked after although it's kind of obvious. Sorry to hear that happened.![]()
Steampunk themed Vespa P200e, airbrushed by yours truly.
Rear-ended by a Jeep Grand Cherokee Sept. 2008

Have you done any other air brushing since this p200e?![]()

I wish I still had the CBX simply as a collectors bike. It was a hand full size wise, but boy did it sound sweet! I put a set of Bill Werges (sp) chambers on the KH400 and it would fly. All in all the GPz was my favorite, notice how I started small, went big and returned to small.beautiful line up of collections you have there.
Here is one I test rode when they first came out and would kill to own now. There have been several pristine one's on ebay recently. You had better have had a firm grip on it when the turbo spooled up...

Interesting bike I have to look further in to this. I have never ridden a turbo bike before. Have you? It must be intense when the turbo kicks inI wish I still had the CBX simply as a collectors bike. It was a hand full size wise, but boy did it sound sweet!

Yes a Honda dealer I bought several bikes off of let me take a CX500 Turbo out back in the '80's when they first came out. Granted the CX was only 500cc's but WOW when the turbo spooled up it felt like it was trying to run out from underneath you. BIG grins on my face! I can't imagine a Kawasaki 1000 turbo which Kawasaki sold for a few years.Interesting bike I have to look further in to this. I have never ridden a turbo bike before. Have you?

It's been far too long since any turbo has been made. I wonder what happened? From what I could remember it was only around the 80s when they were out. However Kawasaki is bringing back forced induction bikes. They are coming out with a supercharged engine.Yes a Honda dealer I bought several bikes off of let me take a CX500 Turbo out back in the '80's when they first came out.

The CX5000 turbo must have felt like a liter bike with an extra punch. To think about it turbo engines would be great for both efficency and power. Now you got me curious! I need to ride one!
I had a GSXR1000 a while back, no photo's of it, i lost it all but to those unfamiliar with them....

I remember seeing somewhere when the CX500 Turbo came out a picture of the impeller of the turbocharger. I'm thinking it was the diameter of a quarter or dime. It was VERY small, but you still had turbo lag. But BOY HOWDY was it fun to ride!
I actually don't own a harley. But I do work at a Harley Dealership Seasonal every year (March-Nov) So I am very interested to see these bikes in the show room. Here is what I ride.
