Some nice bikes in here. Here's my little scoot:

My first motorcycle, just started riding last year. My enthusiasm for cars has dropped off precipitously since then :)

You can't control that? You had better be careful when handling your balls then, that could be a disaster :p

This is my buddies Custom I'm sitting on. The front light has got to go, but other than that, the bike looks pretty wicked, with a chameleon paint job and some ghost flames.

And I would love to pick one of these up, an '03 Aprilia Mille

The whole front end looks strange to me, but the lights are way wrong. Do you have a pic from the side view?

Yeah, from the front view, the light setup looks very strange. Believe it or not, they look a lot better from the side. I'll see if I can scratch up a few more pics on this bike. I know he payed a whole lot of money for it, and it looks pretty badass. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's not balanced very well.

Yeah...The whole front end isn't working for me, but that's just me. I like bikes with bigger front tire/wheel combos. IMO there is too much space between the fork tubes and wheel/tire, and it just looks boxy (if that is a word)

That's a pretty bad example of the bike, because it is much longer and slimmer than it appears in the picture.

I had a ton of pictures on my office's server, but they magically disappeared, so I'm gonna see if I can find some better pics of it, because it is one of the better bikes I've seen, especially with the paintjob.

But the front light is actually really cool looking from the side, but dead on it just really doesn't do the bike justice. I think Jeff paid +50k for it, and there are a lot of specifics of it that I don't know right now off of the top of my head.

I hope to see some better pics! I also hope it doesn't look like one of the Tuttles POS bikes, although from the front view it looks better than that. I HATE OCC. Pre fab crap. Indian Larry was more of my style. Or Choppers Inc.

Here's a Yamaha Warrior 1700 that is sitting in our warehouse.

Very loud and FAST bike. Very, very well balanced. I've got a pretty funny story about this bike...
