This guys bike will be the best maintained hawk u will come across. I seen how he takes care of his machine. To me it still looks showroom clean.

Welcome, Awesome bike. Baller status > 4 fog lights , 2 go pros , modular helmet and touring jacket. ur ready for 10 K . Wish i had that bike Same question as every one ...... How did u get it up there?

Thank you , in the image it looks smaller but imagine it relatively on an XXL T shirt. It will be pretty big. Ty snot, Yea i always tried to stick with older bikes so that the logo is not biased towards new sportsbike or cruisers etc. Every one likes and respects old bikes i guess Share Ty Ty, i hope most people recognize the ohio map in that one and not just a skull

Thank you very much guys. Mary i wish i had the ability to plan thing ahead, i always used to be jump on the saddle and ride if i had the strength on my off day kind of person. Guess its time to grow up and be an adult.

heeey havent heard from you or suzukistar in a long while, gonna miss that yellow R1 but awesome bike. If i was strong enough to push that thing around i would have loved to have one. Even RT1200 was a bit handful for me. But once it started rolling so easy to ride. Hope you make it for the epic ride this year. You were there for the very first one

very nice bike, love the name change too

Really Put some effort to come up and complete this one, i am not much into skulls but i know its one of the most iconic part of motorcycles hope you guys like it

Just wanted to share some logos for your consideration. Will keep updating with more and more designs. Always preferred a black and white design (just added a tinge of red in this one) which will look clean on both light and dark colored shirts as we choose. Also can make this in color if majority prefers in that way. But Color prints will be costly i guess. These are just some of my suggestion, final decision up to derek and you guys.

renting wont be a bad idea, if you plan flying there and getting a decent bike which u can zip around. Saving vacation days to spend on good roads is the best part about that plan.

I might run across you if at all i can make it there Sorry MT, working that evening or else would have mustered enough courage to overcome my social phobia and come for the bash. Next year hopefully.

I hope i can make it there . Might be on a touring set up like this

Thank you guys Its so beautiful up there. Take your time and enjoy "the feel" only rarely that "unexplainable something from motorcycle riding" can really overwhelm the adrenaline and excitement from actual riding part. If starting from san fran to north, take the less known but exciting alternate roads parallel to highway 1 up and then when u come back to san fran take PCH all the way down for endless ocean view. The video from this thread was from socal mostly, which was crowded. Liked north which was more "zen" like this:D >> last year video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2nmXovV4G4 Thank you for that, i am feeling to understand. Each day when u hold him you feel the change yourself. Your thought process, dreams, plans all start to revolve around him But what you said is soooo right "Some guys give up riding once they have kids. I feel thats a bit nuts, to take something I've done my whole life and just give it up. its a part of me, its made me who i am. I want my son to know the "real" me"

thank you very much guys

Sorry for being away for a long time, was busy with life and work. Mainly life this time Just wanted to introduce my little boy, Zen to his Ohio uncles and aunt. Since we dont have any family around this is the only family Zen will have Hopefully i feel like continuing to ride, and i hope i dont feel guilty when i want to go out for a ride leaving this lil fella alone .

Ty guys, I am really scared about being a dad, always imagined myself to be a not so mature crazy guy. Will you be feeling guilty if you are out riding on those few off days you get without spending quality time with family? Is this why many active riders from the past years in forum are not that much into riding these days?

Ty every one Looking forward to extend the family and scared at the same time about the responsibilities. May be in 2015 OR can go on a trip to west coast and hit many of good roads on the way as well. No hob, just rented it.

Just a very short different video made from our last trip to west coast. Possibly the last of such trips since we are soon going to be 1+ Hope this inspires some one to plan and go out and ride the roads they want next season. This is not a motorcycle centered video, just our experience in which motorcycle plays a big role.

You get endless options of these > Mountains + ocean + twisty + sunny + warm + lane splitting + biker friendly + tons of riders Every thing else doesn't matter :-) Move ...now

hope u have some thing else in mind for next year and not calling it quits, seen the bike in person and its well maintained for any one interested

Yep, vfr12 was one heck of a motorcycle which didn't get the respect it deserved, I blame a part on the looks which took away majority crowd. It's slimmer then the 800, most who migrated say even more flickable than the 800. And the combo of medium weight and shaft drive is awesome. If I ever let go of my 800 I will get a 1200 to replace plus.

Ended up spending the day in Mi itself So lets meet next saturday for a ride?

Not sure, msta guys doing a fall color ride, just gonna show up at the meet spot :-)

I am game for next Saturday as well, let's plan for next Saturday and finalize mid week based on weather and work trends. I am gonna explore pure michigan tomorrow

hhahahah if i had the physical strength i am just about ready to move to a gold wing, thats how much i like speed Brian, as of now sunday looks bad, so planning to head back saturday itself. Possibly just upto caldwell and return as sunlight and warmth doesnt last much
