What are some of your favorite motorcycles? What are your dream bikes? What do you currently own? All types of bikes welcome...

For dirtbike, I own a '06 Honda CRF40R - though my dream dirtbike is a KTM 350 EXC-F.

Street bikes, I don't own one, but I am very partial to naked bikes, especially the Ducati Monster.

    This is the absolute and embarrassing truth.

    This is the last motorcycle that I rode:

    9beb9a17c055cd18169a1d3c586f0f7e.jpg

    okay, that's a lie.

    I didn't ride it. It rode me, that is, until I crashed it into my cousin's garage.

    And when I say crash... it was like confusing the throttle for the brake (the garage won that day.)

    I learned pretty quick that motorcycles and I don't belong together in any way imaginable.

    That's no reason to be embarrassed! I crashed my first dirtbike into the side of a van at 3 years old about 8 seconds after I got on it. Didn't get on another one til I was 18...since then, I've probably been down a good 75+ times...and had a few concussions along the way

    gotcha.

    I traded the Honda motorcylce for a bicycle, a BB Gun & Jimi Hendrix album..... it worked out in the end.

    I ride a Yamaha TW200. So much fun on the trails here! But I would love to have a CBR500R as my next bike. Maybe something more, but that would be my minimum and I like the way it feels.

    My bike is a junkyard themed CL350 ... very heavily modified ... basically entirely hand built. And all by me.

    I crashed my first bike ... and it caught fire and melted in front of me. Heart breaking stuff. Total loss.

    Mine is with the nice battle scar on the front. 1998 FatBoy. It is my first bike, my current bike and my dream bike! The only thing now is I would like a windshield and some saddlebags sometimes.

    Unfortunately I can't get past the lack of practicality at this point in my life. Maybe some day.

    This is the sort of thing I like though... a little understated, a little less-is-more.

    My FZ-07. But now I’ve got the itch to explore adventure bikes. That’s the one thing I didn’t realize before I started riding...there are just sooo many styles of bikes and I really love learning about what each has to offer and it makes me want them all!

    If I were to ride a bike ( and it's still a very bad idea), that's what I would ride.

    It would be cool just to park one in the corner of the living room as a conversations piece..... said my wife, never.
