Here's a shot of my CB 750 K2 (with me on it) and another shot of my mates CB's next to mine...

Big-Foot · 03-04-07, 10:35 AM

Okay - Picture time..

One of the finest machines made..
Here's a picture of me on my 1999 Victory V92C - This is the 106th Victory made. I named him "Big-Foot" and he carries the licence plate BG-FT.

I was just finishing up the assembly of the freshly painted tin and hadn't a chance to install the saddle bags when my wife asked to take the picture..

They're very good in the acceleration, braking and overall handling department. The Freedom design engines (which were introduced in 2002) are much better looking (in my opinion). For those that care about such things - The American content of the Victory is higher than that of the Harley Davidsons. These bikes are built in the upper midwest. Plants in Osceloa WI where the engines are all hand built and broken in on a Dyno. The main assembly plant is Spirit Lake Iowa. Headquarters in Medina MN (just down the road from me in Minneapolis).
Pretty darned hard to go wrong on these bikes. They've made a number of advances in them and make a number of different variations so there is something for almost everyone..
With almost 3 feet of snow on the ground here and the temp being roughly 7f degrees - it will be a while before Big-Foot and I will be going for a ride..

Oh how about a Confederate Wraith..............One day, hopefully when they're alot cheaper.

The current mount - 2005 GSXR 1000. Best off the shelf performance bike ever...... for now. Each year bikes just get better and better for 2007 Suzuki is introducing traction control ...... cant wait to check that out. BTW I am waiving with my foot on the cool down lap, for some reason I just like this goofy picture.

I found this picture the other day of my wife's bike, a 89 CB1. Little 400 four that back in the day was quite the revver to like 14k. It used to be blue, but she had to get off one time and so we repainted it purple. Cool little machine.

Here is one of my Duc MH900e 2000 made in 2000. A bit of a pain riding position but lovely manners and a great looker attracts a lot of attention much like the 40.

I used to have two of the original Ducati MHR's, one of which was heavily breathed on by Steve Wynne of Sports Motorcycles. That was a fun bike.

I now have a Harley Fatboy and a '51 Vincent.
