I know I haven't been around much lately. I have been pursuing one of my life long dreams. Over the past few weeks, I figured that if I didn't go for it soon, I would lose interest in it all together. When not riding, I will be hanging out here so you should see me posting again.

So here is Obsidian...

Yeah! The Bike is very loud with those "Big Gun 3" Pipes on it ;D They can hear me ;)

It's a 1450cc/88ci, 6 speed.

Lots of torque  

I'm just starting to get used to it. I'm not as shakey when I get off now. I've never owned a Harley before but I have driven the 1340cc/80ci, 5 speed and a few friends have the 1200cc/74ci Sportster. I'm the last one of the group to get one.


It's a lot of fun :)

heh A friend sent me this, I nearly had to cry :')

Not sure? Here in the States we do MPH and it's a U.S. bike (no KPH on the speedo) I haven't had it over 90 MPH but I'm not suppose to be on the Freeway yet cuz I only have my motorcycle permit. No night driving and no passengers. I have done all but night driving but don't want to push my luck. Thursday I take my "behind the handlebars test".

I don't think I want to go much faster than that. I had too many close calls on those rice-rocket bikes in our younger days. We all sold those bikes and decided to go to Harley Cruiser style bikes.

Just getting old I guess :-/

Those are nice bikes too..

But I've owned Hondas and Yamahas all my life. It was time for me to get an American bike for a change. (That is if I want to ride with my friends).

That bike would be much more comfortable than mine :P

well yours has more style imho :) that red one looks too PIMPed :-X not that into PIMPed stuff it looks ghey.

Well, you really can't compare the two, one is a cruiser and the other is for touring. They're both nice but of course I like Obsidian (Sid) better ::)

I know, I'm a little strange, cuz I name my vehicles :D

haha that ain't strange we have something in common I name my PC's

Sveta the AthlonXP 2700+
FireFox the Athlon64 X2 4400+
Yoda the Pentium4-E HT 3400 ;D[Laptop]

My Brother in law named his farmcar The Green Bird lol, it's a Citroen Berlingo lol.

The old car was a Citroen Visa Combi that one perished, he crashed it of a dijke :-X so the Green Bird was the runnerup haha, only I wouldn't reccomend Citroen since it ain't that reliable, I rather choose a japanese brand like Toyota, Mitsubishi or Subaru

Does this look familiar?


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170041255830

yeah looks like the same as yours :) only 14.8K not bad since it only has 936 miles on it.

Yeah I tried to get a deal locally in San Diego but the same bike new 2007 was 20,000USD It was well worth the drive (100 Miles).

yeah agree on that one nice price for 20K for a new one 8) anyways I'm off to bed now, it's like 02:25AM allready haha till later this day, and congrats with your new 2K7 Obsidian Bike ;)

I have to be honest. My bike is a 2006 not an 07. I couldn't snag a wallpaper for the 06 from H-D you can only get the 07 model from their web page.

They look the same though ;)

This is my 1959 Simson Sport, 250cm3, 14 horse power  ::).

Man! That bike looks great for being that old. Nice! It reminds me of a BSA or Triumph.

That bikes almost as old as me :-X LOL!

@ mikulaish

very nice  old timer you got there ;D don't see them much around these days!  8)

That is because they are a pain in the @$$. Right now its engine is in my room after having suffered a surgery.  ;)

It must be difficult to get parts for. I once owned a Honda CL 70 Yr.1970, That was back in 89-92, the Honda dealerships wouldn't help me, told me it was too old. It was a great bike for just putting around on. It was street legal and I basically used it like a moped.

That bike is wicked, but that rider is even more wicked!

;)

LOL! Thanks but the bike is definately more wicked than this old dude :D

Not bad at all gamma!
Nice weather to go along with that bike too.
Did you just mention it cost US$ 20,000 ??

No that's what a 2007 similarly equipped bike would have set me back. I found it listed on eBay for $14,888.88 with 936 miles on it. I got him to cancel the listing and sell it for that price. It's really hard to buy an almost new bike on ebay in California, the State Dept of Moter Vehicles won't let you bring cars or trucks into the state with under 7500 miles unless you can prove ownership and that you are relocating to the state. So I was limited to finding a deal in CA state as I wanted nearly new. I plan to ride today, it will be in the mid 70s F. San Diego weather is about the same as Los Angeles as it's only about 100 miles away which is where I bought the bike. I have over 1800 miles on it now ;D

Stupid state government has to screw everything up.
