Every Tuesday night, a local coffee shop here in Kenosha hosts 2 wheel Tuesdays. I don't get down there often but got the chance tonight. Its a nice mix of different bikes. Its also nice because its not one of those typical HD, testosterone fueled bike events. Its a gathering of motorcycle enthusiasts that love anything on 2 wheels.

The Bandit sandwiched in between 2 Goldwings.


This is my buddys 1969 Honda 350 drag bike.


A friend just bought this Aprillia 125 for his wife. It has a disclaimer sticker on the frame that read "for track use only". He said it was a real pain to get it licensed.


A very sweet XS


Another old Yamaha


Very nice 919


Buell set up for the long haul


Ural with a sidehack


Some cool Motards



The owner of this Katana was a cool guy to talk too.



MV Agusta that wouldn't start when the owner wanted to leave. He eventually got it going. I think it had a short in the electrical.+



A Buell with NOS. It was kinda beat up.




ZX14. Way too big for my taste. Nice bike though.


Some Triumphs



Some BMW's



Ducatis...



Sweet FZ1



Nice HD



CanAm


An old scooter.


The view from down the street.



It was a good time. Fishball, if you ever get the chance, come on down.

Nice bikes JB, thanks for sharing.  Definitely would like to come down, let me know next time you are attending.  We have a two-wheel Tuesday event up here as well.  One is at Culvers and the other is at LuLu's in Bayview.

Awesome pics!!  thumb

I love the motocross bikes that are converted to street bikes. They'd be a blast to ride  biker_h4h1

We have a similar night here on Weds nights at a A&W parking lot. Its called "Classic Night", but its turned into 'bring your car or bike out' night.

Why do I like the scooter the best?
And the Triumph seat, which is about as big as the scooter.
The 350 drag bike needs the Triumph seat.

Really cool variety of bikes.  thumb

I'll have to come up there and check it out sometime. I will most likely be going to ours again in a couple of weeks. I'm going out of town for vacation all next week so, I'll have to skip the next one.

That must have been a blast.  A real mix of different bikes.  The FZ1 looks more upright than I thought.

I could be wrong but, it looked like the owner of the FZ1 had put on some taller risers. I thought they came stock with lower bars.

Like the triumph cruiser pictured above (behind the aprilla) -

Stil not certain what I will get whenever I do (and can) get a new(er) bike - I'm still having fun with the NH and plan to for a few more years while I learn to ride more and more.

A Can Am?!? -- seriously?!?  DirtDOG

I'm starting to see more of these things around me also - I'm still not certain one can call such a thing a "motorcycle" or not.  umph For the price you might as well go out and buy a car with a convertible top or whatever.

I just don't like 'em.

I'm with you on the CanAm. I am not a fan of them. To each their own but, I don't see myself ever wanting one. Plus, they are costly and from what I've heard, if you need to replace the tires, you can't just buy regular car tires. They are specific to the CanAm.

There's a guy I ride with that has a Can Am Its his foul weather bike he also has an HD ( he has a lot more Money than I do) he rides year round, snow and ice does not stop him. I would never own a Can Am but I would like to ride one just to see what its like.
