Ok guys I'd like to try and breathe some more life in to the board and see a bit more traffic here. I am going to post up various things that interest me and encourage you all to do the same.

Let's start with Motorcycles. I hear someone on here recently purchased one (hint hint Aldo!). Let's get some pictures up on here of your bike.

I have a friend at work who has been building his own bike this whole winter.

We have traded ideas and pics we like back and forth but right now this is the hottest thing out there in my opinion:

Classified Moto.

I have also loved cafe racers and bobber style bikes. This bike looks part rat rod, part cafe and part modern (thanks to those R6 Forks.

Back when I was a youngster, I had owned (at different times) three bikes. Unfortunitally got hit on two of them while riding on the streets. My favorite was a Kawasaki 500, 3 cylinder two stroke ( fast bike back then ). After the last accident (on the Kawasaki ) I decided to get into sports cars, thus the S2000.

I bought the S2K because my friend crashed his bike and the wife told me I could never get one.

I love bikes. Period. I have owned two prior to owning my S. A 2003 Honda CBR 600F4i (not the one with the banana seat, mind you! haha) and an 02 Honda RC51. To this da8y I regret selling my RC. The torque and the sound of that bike, not to mention how beautiful it was to me...I miss it a lot. I hope to one day get another one, be it the RC or the new Ducati Panigale (Check it out if you haven't seen one).

I kinda feel like its hard to love the S2000 without realizing how close it is to a bike with its high revving engine, open air design....plus the digital cluster reminds me so much of a bike cluster. I know you don't get anywhere near the speed or get to lean the S2000 over, but you also don't have to worry about falling off haha.

That bike makes me want to go buy this ( http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/3766889118.html ) and get started on making my own version!!!! Well that bike and the thought of 70mpg on my 84 mile round trip commute.

I have a 2003 Honda Shadow that I got August 2011. I then bought my S2000 in May of 2012. Needless to say I rode my bike only 3 times last year. Its going on Craigslist this week. Hate to see it sit and plus the money will go towards the car loan.

If money wasn't an issue I'd love a naked style bike, Ducati Monster or Triumph Speed Triple. The Honda 919 is also pretty damn sweet.

I really want to build one. I have been talking hardcore with my buddy at work about it. He wants me to build one too. We almost bought one as an investment to fix up and sell.

We will see. I have some cool ideas floating around.

We will see if I actually do it or not. That is a CB 750K with an R6 Front and a Ducati single side swing arm. I have some ideas on what I would like to do.

Thinking about it a ton!
