BMW for me too. I like Harleys, but I prefer a bike you wash, not polish.

I like BMWs and Harleys too but I don't feel grown up enough yet to keep it on the street all the time, and when I go in the dirt, it isn't pretty.
Honda XR650 dual sport. Street legal, air cooled and virtually indestructible.

Not on this bike yet, but on other BMWs. We rented bikes when we toured Iceland. This BMW hasn't been far and wide yet, but it's going to get some miles on it!

Bought my Sportster new in 1989

for 17 years it looked like most other Sportsters, little chrome here and there and new pipes. This past year I decided to do a makeover and restyle in the look of the flat track racers I have enjoyed watching since the early 70s. So here is my 1989 Sportster homage to the XR-750 dirt track racer. Its a hoot to ride too! :)

Regards, Tim in Hawaii

Before the makeover:



After the transformation:
