Most every forum I've participated in has some sort of an ongoing motorcycle discussion. I think it's safe to assume that everyone here drives, but do you ride as well? If so, what?

I'm too old and decrepit to ride a sportbike for that long. I can only handle a couple of hours before I'm beat. Kudos to you guys!
How does your brother like the Duc?

We got stopped for 87.5 in a 50 zone, wrote for 5 over. Hella legit cop, asked alot about the bikes and the trip so we took the time to chat at he was nice to us.
My brother loves the 999R, I on the other hand **** it, He's also got a monster. I sold my ducati because every mile on a ducati is a dollar in repair and maintence, we work on our own shit and its still expensive. Besides my GSXR and CBR keep up just fine with the Italians.

Yeah, I play scooters, haha.
Here's me last fall at a beach race in Wildwood NJ:
My bike's a '07 KTM 144SX.
..and I bought this last year, to tinker with it's a '99 XR50:
I've since added a stiffer shock, +2" swingarm, new tires, billet throttle tube, handlebar risers with full size MX bars, and a few other things. It's a hoot to get 4 or 5 people on pitbikes and screw around in the back yard.-Dale: '88 Conquest TSi

Just every 3000 having to do a valve adjustment is lame to me. I got 14K on my gsxr and all I have to do is change oil and filters, and burn fuel and rubber.
Yeah, I do all the work on my e30, but every 3k is kinda a PITA

Yes, that is exceptionally cool. The company behind the technology is named OSMOS and they've even built a car using an F1 chassis. Here's a tiny image from their site:
