Plenty of us show off our cars and desktops and offices in other threads, but anyone here into boats, motorcycles, RV's, planes?

I just bought my second boat and have it and my other one in the shop right now getting ready for spring. I'm also looking into a motorcycle for the summer and have been working on getting my pilots cert as well.

I'll post pics in a few, but wanted to get an idea of who here has anything different then just cars.
 


I have a 2005 R6 raven edition and 2004 Ducati 749.

Love the performance of Ducati and the looks of R6.

Want a boat, but I got no place to store it and no car to tow it. One day, maybe one day...
 
I have an '08 CBR 600rr that I used as a daily driver for about a year.

Now I just use it for casual crusin'

What do you guys recommend for a first bike?

I'd prob only use it a few times a month and wont be doing anything tricky or speed wise, plus I have some back issues ( pinch nerve ) so I think more of an upright bike would fit me based on the above, but I would like to have something other then a "goldwing" or HD.

Any suggestions for a first timer biker/old dude?
 
This summer I'm going to get my single engine pilots license. Hopefully in a year or two I'll be able to post plane pics.
 
I have got a Yamaha R6 -06 Black + Remus Exhaust system, (The License Plate Frame is gone) :)

You'll definitely want to go with a Kawasaki 250r or 650r. Depends how big you are.

If your under 190 and under or around 6 feet I'd go with the 250r. It has lots of power, can go pretty quick, and most of all handles beautifully in turns and in city driving.

The only difference between that and the 650r is the power. After a summer of using the 250r you'll probably want to upgrade to the 650r if you like the bike.

The 250r is also 5 grand new (in Canada) probably a bit less in the states. Can't go wrong there for a started bike (650r was 9 grand new for me).
