Good morning Beckerheads (and Becker fans)! So, here's a little post off topic from the normal knife talk. How many of you are motorcycle enthusiast, and what do you ride? I haven't upgraded my membership (yet.....planning on it) so I cant post any pictures, but would love to hear (or see) what everyone rides. I currently ride a 2006 Harley Davidson VSRCR "Street Rod" in vivid black. It's my first "old man" bike, as I have grown up riding sportbikes. I guess I am slowing down a bit in my old age.

I've been riding for several years and I love it. I take my Beckers out to get some fresh air on a Honda Shadow VT600.

What brand of Firesteel is that? Is that a Gobspark? Cool little rig.
When not pursuing my love of Becker knives, i try to ride my 05 Suzuki DR 650 on-off road bike, when weather allows. It has saved me a TON of money in gas----over my 8-10 mpg
08 Dodge Power Wagon. I can go almost anywhere---except past a gas station. My bike, in effect, has helped me keep the PW, oh, and buy knives.
I catch crap from riders on both sides. Harley riders hate that it is a jap bike, sportbike riders hate that they can go faster in 1st gear than mine will do top end. I ride alone. $4850 brand new with a 12 mo warrenty. It has paid itself off in 5 years of gas savings. It gets 60-65 mpg---if i keep it at the speed limit & drive gently. 14,460 miles on it.

Twinstick, the dual-sports are great bikes. Trust me, I catch crap for my scoot as well....to most Harley guys it isn't a real Harley, and to the sportriders, it's still a cruiser. Collector, I agree with you on the buck 110. I think that is mainly due to it's long standing role as a "go-to" knife for most of society and it being the "standard" of folders for years. I own a buck 110, kind of a necessary item for any collector. I do carry my BK-11 when I ride (there ya go Moose).

'09 H-D Road King here. I ride EVERY day and my bike is my primary transportation year around here in So Calif. I love to ride more than anything, call me a fanatic. I log 20,000+ miles a year every year. My back-up to the RK is an '02 Chev Tahoe 4wd when the weather is bad.
Knife? I carry my BK2 daily.

Too many bikes to list, but my '95GS is my all-time favorite. Just turned over 199k on the clock a few weeks ago, so it's almost broken in. Been to 49 states and every country between the Arctic circle and Tierra del Fuego. If they ever build a bridge to Hawaii, I'll take her there, too.
There's usually a BK2 in the Pelican case when I'm heading off pavement...

When I was 19 I bought a Kawasaki that was older than I am. Loved that thing, but had to sell it for school.
I have a scout sheath for a Ka-Bar next gen that I carried a couple of times on the bike, when I was on my way to a hike. Got pulled over quite often about it, so I cut that out. No law against carrying it, just if it's concealed. But it wasn't worth the stress, and having to explain it it every 100K. That's when I started carrying my CSM11 in my boot. Good stuff too because it's quite handy there.

That's awesome! A hardcore rider for sure! I just turned 65,000 on mine and plan to take her way way beyond that...
Here's my Sportster.

It's a 2001 1200xls with a few changes (mostly thanks to a meeting I had with a deer at about 55 mph)

Not bad Rok, how's about this one
...
1200, Screamin eagle heads and ignition, Buel fork tubes, Ohlins piggy-back shocks in the back, Buel X1 wheels, and some other performance parts.
That's pretty nice. I'd love a Buell fork and chain-drive.
