What do you have? If you have more than one, what do you ride most? How long have you been riding?

'03 DR650 for leisurely exploring the local Cascade mountain range. Riding about 5 years. Had a Ninja and Shadow 750 before that. Lost interest in street riding and got the DR.
Sold my KLR and Tengai, just have two Puchs .... lol
Rode the KLR into work all year-round for 3 years.
Did a ground up restore of the KLR:
Commute into NYC in the winter:
On Palisades Parkway:
Did some off roading in the Berkshires:

I'm pretty new to the two wheelers; only 11 years experience. My current bike is a '94 Fatboy that's been in the family for 20 yrs and 100k miles.
Previous bikes include: '75 XLCH, '81 XL, '67 BSA Lighting 650 - hardtail, '00 FLHTCUI, '01 CR250, '81 CB 650. I may be picking up a HD Hardtail "custom" (I use that word cautiously - it looks like a wannabe bike builder had a go) in the next few weeks. By that list you can tell I prefer heavy slow bikes, with a few exceptions.

I rode a motorcycle for the first time last month (January). I bought a used BMW G650GS as my first bike. I've put a few hundred miles on it.
I took the MSF course at the local Harley dealership last weekend.
Every day I can't ride is a sad day for me. It may wear off, but so far, this motorcycle thing is really addictive.

This is our two-up desert bike, there's a couple more, but this takes us the furthest. '12 DL1000. We just purchased an '03 Disco so that we can continue exploring in the winter.
Roxi, the bike my wife and I used to elope with.
'83 Ascot. Belonged to a friend's husband who was killed in the Middle East. AWESOME bike, runs like new.

Too addicting. It was dangerous for me, and had a few close calls. Glad I got rid of my death trap, but no question it was a blast.

2012 Triumph Tiger 1050SE and 2011 Suzuki TU 250. Returned to riding after 40 years and ride both about the same. Suzi is the grocery getter, Tiger the longer trip cruiser.
Thanks, the Duc is my second pasta rocket. I loved the first one - a '92 907IE, but it was too problematic and costly to maintain. Once you've owned one, however, it's difficult not to have one in the garage.
With regard to ADVR, I was for many years but backed away from it a few years ago because I couldn't stay out of JoMamma. It's a unique place on that site that also exposes a rather strange cross section of our international population. :ack:
