Show off your ride (ga incl.)

Aha, makes sense :)

Don't own a bike myself and I'm not really familiar with them, but got to ride on the back of my friends BMW 1300R a few times. That thing was/is a monster.

Thank you!

At least they are original ones. ^^

Thank you but no. :-)

I bought it in the USA with vintage and original papers, shipped it over to Flanders/Belgium and fully dismantled, sandblasted, refurbished and even painted with original paint. A lot of hours I put in this overhaul together with family and close friends.

Every part is an original Ford Mustang part and there's not one bit of rust on it.

It passed and passes the mandatory yearly regional car inspection without even one remark but I don't know if I would have the patience to go to all of that again for another car.

Then again I do also really like and have my eyes on a 1969 Dodge Charger.

If I'm not mistaken that's a Toyota Camry.
They don't sell them any more in Europe. Pity, they were good cars but Europeans only seem to buy german crap in those classes.

Whenever I read about a new bike the set height is often in the 780 to 850 mm range. That mean anyone under 170 is going to have problems. Add a bulky engine and you just lost a potential customer. Why would anyone want to tiptoe on a bike when they've stopped or always feel uneasy riding it? They'll just go and spend their money on something else.

It's good until you go on the highway.
Then it's no good. It's awesome. The party begins.
Braaap braaaaaaaap braaaaaaaaap. Etc.
Also its a fun toy for the town too. Drifting <3

You should try an MX-5. Test drove a used MX-5 10th Anniversary Model (1999) in 2006.
Fantastic handling and specifically the steering. So much feeling in the steering and the chassis. Driving over the white lines on the autobahn was noticeable through the sound and your pants :D
Bought a used 1998 Golf 3 Cabrio 1,6. Was cheaper, more practical and less chance of me killing myself in it ;)

It can hande quite nice, yes. Problems only occur if one is being silly.

haha, yeah I know. I was stunned by the clothing as well. I often see guys in jeans on the motorcycle, but never knew that those clothes could have protection in them.
Any tips for a first time motorcycle buyer?
I am buying this mainly for work and that's 100km/day. This involves around 60km/day of highway. The guy at the store recommended me choosing for a 11KW instead of a 9KW motor, but those are more expensive of course.

they recommended this to me because I do 100km a day, which has 60km of highway. But I'm still looking into what is best.

Busses and trains are ok, but the Schwebebahn is great and only rarely not on time.
Between 05:00 and 23:45 Monday through Sunday you can use it. During rush hour and other highly frequented times, one can take one every 3 minutes a the stations. Other times (mid-morning, weekday evenings and such) they still come at least every 5, 10 or 15 minutes.
