Our current herd....

Post by J Backlund »

Besides my 1974 GT750 'project' bike, here's the eclectic gaggle of bikes currently occupying our garage....

My 2002 Triumph Bonneville T100...I've owned this bike twice...

Our 2003 GL1800...

My 2007 ZX14 (piloted by wifey)..

I don't have a stand-alone photo of my wife's 2003 V-Rod, but that's it in the lower left of this group shot....

Nice diverse selection...... I rode VFRs for 15 years and really wanted to keep my 750FT, suggesting that SWMBO rode it. She didn't feel comfortable / confident enough on it ( or my GPZ900s), but she does now happily ride our GT380. Respect to your wife for riding a ZZR14 :up:

Thank you. She rides my motorcycles at least once just to sample them and have the experience of riding varied bikes. She's only ridden the ZX14 once so far, but she's usually game if she can manage the seat heights, as most are simply too tall for her. She's owned about eleven motorcycles of her own over the years, and rode her own small bike before I met her, so she has a natural interest in them beyond and before my influence.

I'm waiting for her to get a shot at the Goldwing, which will provide the opportunity for a great photo. We'll need a good length of clear interstate highway for her on that bike though, nothing 'tricky'. At 5' 4" and 120 lbs, she'll look like a flea on the back of an Elephant.
