I've had a few bikes, honda, yamaha, triumph, harley and kawasaki. the kawasaki was an early 70's 750 triple 2 stoke that scared the poop out of me. I would rather shoot a .500 mag all day. That was around the time I first met a DW. A friend had a .41 mag and got very upset when I asked him if he meant Smith and Wesson. I was only a puppy back than but I remember shooting it and finally 25 years later I got my 1st DW. I have had my 15-2 for some years now but never got the .41. Some day I'll that .41 and the Road King.

Was that Kawi the Mach 3 Triple, or something like that?

I've talked to some other diehard guys who say those bikes scared the poop outta them, too...
...one guy is even a fellow V-max rider. They said the powerband is unreal. I guess a lot of them got crashed because of it.

I have never owned a motorcycle, haven't ridden in years and years, but I remember a few terrifying seconds on a Mach 3 Triple. It was WAY beyond anything I was ready for, started out fine, and once I felt comfortable, I got stupid.

I'm not sure, I did not have it very long and it was a long time ago. I remember it was hard to keep the front wheel on the ground. It was too much for me. I prefer cruisers.

Motorcycles are my premier hobby, shooting comes second. I've been riding since 1991, mostly sportbikes and motocross and currently I own two Suzuki GSXR's. One is a 1998 750 and the second a '05 1000 cc. I had to sell my dirtbike because I didn't have the time to ride it. Like someone else said, too many hobbies… 
I'm a riding instructor for a swedish version of the california superbike school so I do a bit of track riding every now and then. It's nice to really get it on without oncoming traffic
But sometimes I have to play a bit too
Here is a nice bit of road not far from where I live
Don't be shocked about the speedo. It reads in kph where 160 kmh=100 mph and 255 kph = 160 mph

Cool pics & good looking Zukis.
Being a riding instructor would be a pretty fun & rewarding experience, I imagine.

I bought a mach 3 when I got out of the service in 69. I sold it six months later before it killed me. I went thropugh the chopper thing and by 74 had settled in to large fat motorcylces.
I don't ride as much as I did but I still manage to keep the oil warm.

I'm in the Bradford area, about 90 miles s/e of Erie, and you are right about the riding season being short........ not too much riding at all this year with all the rain we've had.
