My name is Mike.  I used to frequent the forums before Facebook and then I stopped giving a shit about the time I had kids.  I got a new bike last week and have started to enjoy riding again.  My old bike is a runner and she was not real comfortable.  The new bike is an old man bike, but her guess what? I'm fucking old.

 

Anyways, hello!

 

 

 

 

Picture of my new bike - 2014 Honda CTX 1300

 

My old bike some might remember - 1988 Honda Hawk GT

Welcome back from your hiatus.

That Hawk looks incredibly well cared-for.

I've had her for quite a long time.  Lots of fun, but it's not really comfortable to ride long distance.  It's a great around town bike.  I had the motor punched out to 700cc's. She's a certified ripper.  Sounds great too.

fork swap, polished frame, carbon infills, bendy radiator, vfr rear whl, single seat cowl/race seat, led dash, tyga rearsets, bout 699cc, penske shock?

Fox twin clicker shock with a hyperco spring.  CBR RR front fork and wheel, motoscope pro dash.

The motor is built by Hordpower.  It's got head work, cams, pistons etc..
 

But essentially you got it.

This ain't a Jeep forum.  Are you lost?  Do you wanna borrow one of my bikes?  😂

I still like to keep tabs on my previous more fun life 😎
