Reader Ride. A Death Valley Warrior.

Jay Writes in:

I love the site; please keep doing what you’re doing.
This is my 2006 Yamaha Warrior on a recent trip to Death Valley.  It’s not a cafe or vintage ride but it has taken me to some cool places and keeps a smile on my face!  The picture was taken from Dante’s View at 5,550 ft elevation, or 5,832 feet higher than Badwater Basin in the valley below.  Death Valley is a great place to ride this time of year, especially when home is still snowy and cold.

Thanks,
Jay

More proof that ANY bike can be an adventure bike. Great Stuff. Thanks for the shot!

Going for a birthday ride…

Posting will be light.  It’s 80 degrees here and I’m taking the day off for my birthday ond heading out for a ride.  I’ll try and grab some interesting ride pics for ya!

And as a side not I sure hope that as the weather warms up that you guys take advantage of it and go riding (AND take pictures!).  The internet’s great and all that but don’t waste any good opportunities to enjoy the spring…

See you tomorrow folk!  Thanks

A tasty Honda cafe…

There’s a LOT of nice bikes out there being let go of.  Wish I had some coin to spend 😦

From Justin Johnson:
I am sending you some pics of my 1953 FLF. I have owned this bike since 2002 and it has slowly evolved into the early style custom that you see in the pictures. plans for this year include a new seat and some coker tire wide whitewalls. also included are pics of my two owner 4500 original mile 1963 Topper.

From Tony Silva:
Here’s some photos of my 2000 Triumph Speed Triple that I had to put back together after T-boning a truck. The after picture was taken at Tempe Town Lake in Tempe Arizona.
Enjoy.

Great Flattrack Racing Video…

I even kinda like the soundtrack..  from the comments.  It’s clips for “On Any Sunday” !

Insert the sound of my hand slapping my head here…

Reader Ride. I never get tired of those custom Bonnevilles. Expecially the scramblers.

Hi, I customized my Triumph Scrambler with lot’s of help of my neighbor and a lot of inspiration of your site. On my tour today I passed my new Garage and took some footage with my GoPro. The pic are stills from that footage and a little pimped in Photoshop. Hope you like it anyway.

Mit sonnigem Gruß, best regards,
