Motorcycle thread?

Who else here is a two wheel warrior? Recently-ish picked up a 2018 Street Glide and have been exploring the roads of Southern WI almost daily.
Installed new pipes yesterday, intake and tune will be coming sometime later.
Anywho, here's the bike:
If anyone else is up for it, would love to put together a big ol group ride, go get some good eats, visit a museum or something, find a cool river to play in. I'm. Up. For. Anything.

I ride bicycles a lot. May not be able to keep up though
If you have enough air in your Huffy you could easily keep up with some of the guys I ride with from time to time.

trying to resist this additional hobby, stop it with the threads and such!

Had bikes, rode bikes, sold bikes and now they're pretty to look at and annoy me on the roads for the most part. Especially Harley riders... Chalk it up to me getting old and get off my lawny. I have zero interest anymore other than potentially a serious Duc, BMW or Aprilia at some point to put 1,000 miles a year on and stare at in my garage.

Like Miley, I can't stop, and I WON'T stop...

I would love to get me another Ducati or possibly a motorsport colored S1000rr. Right now I'm going to have a hard enough time making room for both of the Harleys in my garage spot next to the fiance's vehicle.

I currently daily a 2013 Sportster Forty-Eight
and am also building a custom cafe Moto Guzzi (hipmf's old bike) with full custom monoshock rear end and gsxr front forks. It's a lot farther along at this point, just haven't taken many pictures.

Nice! Love the look of the retro Sporsters.

Anyone have experience with enduros? If I’m able to negotiate more days at our Appleton office I would like to get one for what would be a 4 minute door-to-door commute.
Just a 250 as I really only want a glorified moped. No interest in going fast on two wheels. Just something with a little more grunt than a moped.
Something of this nature, I am all in on:

Ad is gone, but realistically any sort of enduro style bike would be perfectly sufficient for a 4 minute commute. Just get something that you can comfortably flat-foot for your own ease.

Trying to save up some money to solve my lack-of-shop-space issue permanently. Currently spending my weekends making delirious garnachas...
Given the lack of space to do car stuff, I'm considering going back to bikes, since I could probably pull it off at work/my apartment. Thinking about reviving an old idea I had of taking a 250 "dual-sport" bike, making it into a street-tacker, then strapping a ninja 250 engine to it. Given my fabrication skills, this is something I think I could pull off without a large outlay of cash, and fits within my theme of taking things that no one is really passionate about and turning them into something that is just fast enough and sketchy enough to scare the bejeezus out of you.
Basically a scaled down version of this:
but it sounds like this:
Or maybe I'll just keep cooking/find another hobby...

I used to ride. Did too much stupid shit, so I stopped all together lol.
Please keep posting updates

You rode supermoto with the W.A.R. guys didn't you? Not a smart move lol.
I got rid of my bike before that, this is my old bike. '87 VFR700. After 3 speeding tickets in a month and almost losing my drivers license it had to go... I loved the sound of the gear drive cams and the V4.

Yes I did lol. It was quite eventful at times.
