Hell yes.

I had JUST bought headers and exhaust when I laid eyes on the R*, and I haven't done a damn thing with the T/A since... sorry girl! 2 wheels are more fun than 4!

'07 Roadstar
'84 Gold Wing LTD
'53 Cushman Eagle
'64 Cushman Super Silver Eagle
'68 Cushman Truckster (Rebuilding)
'77 MGB Roadster
'89 Izuzu Trooper

Whatever I want to drive or ride, I have to move at least two others to get it out of the garage. Except for the roadie. It's always by the door and ready to go. Just got back this evening. A friend called and wanted company on a 172 mile round trip to get a peach milkshake. That's why the roadie is always ready.

I would rather be on my bike thinking about God, than sitting in church thinking about my bike.

Just left the dealer and will pick up my new Triumph Rocket III Touring tomorrow morning. So for now, two bikes in the garage + New Toyota Prado GXL Wagon + Toyota Camry Sedan + Stacer Ocean Runner 1/2 Cabin...It's a good thing I had the shed extended.

I also have a 2006 Harley Davidson Road King Police FLHPI. I like certain things on each bike. Both are different rides. It is hard to choose which bike to buy parts for so I just buy stuff for both!

Re:So what do we all have besides Roadstars? 8 Years, 6 Months ago  
would like to add more toys to the collection but the wife is making crude comments now. already managed to accumulate a 79 triumph tr7 convertible, 1986 bayliner cabin cruiser on trailer, and a 1985 searay cabin cruiser at lake. The roadstar added to the toy collection and pushed her beyond all reason....heeee heeee heeee.....

now I'm tweaking the tuning on this ride......

i know i told her it's a guy thing .......................................................................... he who dies with the most toys wins..........

Re:So what do we all have besides Roadstars? 8 Years, 6 Months ago  
I've got a Jeep that I've built into a pretty decent rock-crawler, but until I got the Roadie, it was my daily driver, so I couldn't get too radical with it. Now I'm thinking again...

In addition to the Road Star, I've got gall stones, tendinitis in both elbows, knees that crackle and pop like breakfast cereal every morning, ribs that have been cracked and busted a dozen times, cluster headaches that hit every November, and a whole mess of scars on my hands, arms, and legs.

I guess that's about it...

That's cool!!

My wife got a 1984 Kawasaki ZL600. The guy who sold it to us said she'd kick my butt if she wound it out. Damn, he was right! 600cc vs 1,600cc --- whoda thunk it? Dang 4 cylinders!
My son recently got a 1982 Yamaha XJ650J Maxim which still needs work to get running. It sat for a long time and he's working on the carbs as we speak. Has a problem with one of the main jet needles bent.
Wife and son both have their permits only. I guess I gave them the bug when I got my R*
