I have a couple sportbikes. Over 50 and still crazy! Here is one of mine.

My bike makes me look fat. Or my fat makes me look fat. Not sure which.

I got new bags a windshield and a backrest since this was taken, but no pics.

This one makes all the guys jealous. Not only an Elsinore, but an Elsinore in my living room.

Got a few but I can't ride for awhile. I just had knee surgery from a dirt biking accident. 2016 KTM 690 and a 06 YZ 250/300 big bore kit with Rekluse clutch.

Hey! I had a 1975 CR125M Elsinore. The tank was silver with a red stripe down the center. It had a Webco head and I can't remember what brand expansion chamber. It NEVER broke. What an awesome bike. I ran it out through the woods for years.
 
How's that car tire working out for you..............?
Great. Seriously. Had one on my last X that had 40k on it when I sold it, still looked like new. This one has almost 10k on it from last year. I got tired of 2 tires at $600 a pop 2-3 times a summer. Now I'm down to 1-2 front tires a year and a rear tire every 5 years.

Mine's the MT-250. I'd love a CR 250. It was always my dream bike. I was at a friends house showing him a picture of the Elsinore. His wife was obviously not impressed. I told her that Steve McQueen rode an Elsinore. She said, "you're no Steve McQueen". I still haven't recovered from that one.
 
Here's my 84 Yamaha RZ350 KR. Not restored but has had a TON of work done to her. Don't ride it as much as I'd like but when I do it's always a blast. Can't beat that two-stroke powerband.

When I feel like going slow I just jump on my 62 Vespa VBB 150 it's just as fun!

Here's the only pic I have of my bike! I inherited it from my Uncles estate! He was more of a buyer than a rider, after he hit a gator sunning in the road coming home from the casino, he vowed to never own another bike! Then, he bought this! It's a 100 anniversary edition with some special custom shop paint that looks like woodgrain, apparently only done to 100 bikes! I guess he had to have it, but never rode it!! I now ride in his honor!!

I used to have an old Honda dirt bike when I was a kid. Nowadays Billy keeps the Garage Mahal rather full, mostly with Suzukis. He currently has seven besides these -- he dragged them out a couple days ago. There's another GSX-R on his bike table (he was the original owner and got it back after 27 years!), an RM370 that's almost finished (needs rims and exhaust), and an old ATK that someone needs to make him an offer on.

While I was shooting pictures he decided the 750 was too dirty so it got a bath in the driveway.

Let me know if you ever want to sell that RZ! I had a Kenny Roberts 1985 back in 1988. It had Toomey pipes and a few other mods. I remember it would power wheelie second gear. I topped it out at 135mph on the 101 Freeway one night. LOL. A guy I worked with had an RZ500 and wanted to trade me straight across because his was running rough and didn't know how to work on it. Man, I should have... those are worth BIG bucks now! Sold my RZ for $1500 when I moved to Florida in 1989.
