DAMN!! That is BAD ASS beautiful!! You need to submit that bike for BOM. I'd like to hear more about it! =P~

Agreed. Everyone I know that has a bike and kids have kids that think that Daddy's bike is cool. Plus, with the extra expense of kids, the fuel economy is a major plus. Good luck finding a Jeep that gets 30+ miles to the gallon.....my nephew's Grand Cherokee gets 11, and it's only got 33" tires, 4" lift, stock everything else. Matter of fact, of my sister's three kids, two have owned bikes and want another one. I don't have kids myself, but all of my nephews and nieces ooh and aah over my bike, and it's not anywhere near finished. As far as the "danger" factor goes, I've been in four bike accidents and two car accidents. I was injured far worse in the car accidents. I've never understood the mentality of "I've gotta get rid of the bike because I've got kids". Sure, you need something to haul the family around in, but you'd be amazed at how many guys don't mind a minivan as long as they have a bike to ride to work on. Cheap gas, cheap insurance (try insuring an Explorer for $35 a year), it's the perfect "additional vehicle". Sure, you have to do maintenance, and parts can be pricey, but so are car parts. Wanna see insane? $400 for a motor mount on our old Camry.

Keep the bike, use the money you save on gas and insurance to buy a nice grocery getter, and enjoy the best of both worlds. Now, if your grocery getter just happens to have four wheel drive......\\/

Y'all are right, but, the fact of the matter is, that the risk of serious injury is greater on a motorcycle than in a car. I am not worried about the financial aspects of motorcycle ownership, with kids. My wife and I just decided that when the kids come, the bikes go. I feel its selfish to keep my motorcycles, which is my hobby (and shes not all that into it), and run the risk of forcing her to raise kids all by herself. Yes, I know that I can die in a car accident to, but, really, I believe I am a less risk of serious injury in my 3 1/2 Ton Avalanche vs. my 1/2 ton motorcycle. Oh, and my grocery getter does have 4WD. One of the perks of living in the snow belt. Now, on with the pictures. This is not the place for this discussion

Well done mate, well done.

My 79 550 W.I.P. going to be somewhat of a bobber. Also has the 18" front. Clip ons and Savage shocks for 2'' lower in rear. Attempting to make seat pan and exhaust.

Thats nearly the same stance on my 750 at the moment...nice
