I love my Speicalized Rockhopper. It's a great starter frame for some wicked future mods.


Soon as I graduate, I plan on picking up either a new Buell XB12scg, or the new KTM CR8 superbike. I know Grant loves motorbikes and otherwise, anyone else? Post some of your photos!

I'm a big two-wheeled fan.

I rode a 2001 F4i for 5 years, and over summer sold it to buy a 2003 Buell XB9R. In a couple weeks, I'm going to pick up a vintage '67 Honda 305 Scrambler (CL77).

Pedal powered, I ride an '05 Gary Fisher Sugar 4+ and a 2006 Trek 1500 road bike. Getting ready to go ride up Lookout Mountain right now...









That's the best road bike pic I have, yeah it sucks.

I'm also a big fan of renting downhill rigs at the ski resorts over the summer:

I've got a 2008 Specialized Allez that I'm in love with and a Jamis Dakar that is being neglected. I've had the roadie for a month and a half and put on over 200 miles so far. The best part of riding is passing everyone who is driving to campus Smile.

Pics will come soon... I promise.

Is the road bike equipped with an "I Love Jugs" sticker yet?

I ride a 1986 (as old as me) honda cmx450.

And a POS Magna Excitor (bicycle) I got for next to nothing because my other one got stolen. It's really heavy (Steel frame the size of most of the aluminum framed bikes i see around), all of its parts are crap, it can't shift quite right, brakes barely work even when after adjusting (before that it didnt stop at all), plastic break levers i think i will break whenever i squeze them, A huge amount of rolling resistance, good tires(from what I hear, the bike is not worthy of them, everything is rusting... I could go on a while. After about a month ive gotten used to it though. And it's only a year old. The chinese should have spent the money on something other than that sorry excuse for a suspension, and it would be an ok bike im my opinion.

'86 VFR750FG Fairly rare in this country with the mid eighties 'harDley tax'

2000 CR250R - don't ride it nearly enough...to be honest at 26 i must have a much higher value on my life then i did when i was 19.

i'd really like to get a Beta Techno or Zero trials bike. My buddy has a rock crawler, and I think it'd be really fun to go with him with a trials bike, plus the speed reduction over the CR.

I have also owned at some point in time
1981 XR80
1978 RM125
1990 XR200
1981 CM400C
1994 CR250R

Add to my list a 2004 Honda CRF450R.

It stayed in dirtbike form for about 24 hours. Now it's half taken apart getting chassis measurements.

After incubating in the garage, it will emerge as a 450 Super Single race bike.

Good to see plenty of bikers on here..



So much fun riding around like spiderman. Just don't get caught without a helmet kiddies! Best thing I ever did to it was to put on a set of Pirelli Super Corsas. Amazing.

2008 Giant Rincon
Just put the Kenda Kinetics 26x2.6 on there for trail riding. I usually have Kenda Kross 1.8's on there for riding to campus.

Made the flashlight bracket because I'm not spending money on a light that is only for my bike. Why not use a nice Maglite?

One of our guys found an old bike sitting in his yard and built this saturday night in the span of about 2 hours. They later changed the handle bars.

I just joined the motorized 2wheeler crowd this week!

Its a '99 Honda XR400R with what looks like 20 miles on it. Awesome shape. I'm taking it out tomorrow morning, hopefully I don't break too much.

A 2008 Bajaj Pulsar 220cc DTS-Fi. You probably haven't heard of it but this is one cool thing to have. One of the best performance bikes in India and a rare sight on the streets. 2 weeks old and more than 300 miles on it (500kms)
