r/TransBikes

I’m not trans but a rider non the less. I was recently T-boned by a deer who thought it was a line backer! I just wanted to share with the group, please be safe out there! We never know what’s around the next turn (I’m ok btw just some swelling and bruising to my leg where got hit)!

1st bike! ~1 month of riding now. Any other ADV/strom riders? Any tips for getting more comfy with cornering/bends?

Bonus: My coworkers’ 1200 Roadster

I joke "do you really ride a Harley if you aren't fixing something on the regular?" The floorboards have rubber inserts with vibration dampers which, being rubber that flexes a lot, eventually wears out. I'm not sure how old the existing ones were as they were on it when I bought it 3 years ago and it's a 2011. Fortunately they aren't hard to replace with a pair of pliers (a vintage Leatherman Wave in my case) and a bit of liquid dish soap as lubricant.

1997 Honda Rebel. First bike. First love, little miss Ona Fontaine 😍

Any trans riders in KY?

I was so excited to ride her when winter ended and where I’m from winter takes forever to end.

this is my little bike. it was a fun build. i found it laying on its side under a pine tree buried in pine needles and pitch. it had sat for almost 25 years lile that. someone had torn off most of the plastic and got into the wiring. i did some trade work to purchase it. made the headlight bucket. changed up the frame. put a bober seat on it. fenders are 1936 ford spare tire cover. i wanted to keep everything looking raw. tail light is model A but i switched out the guts for LEDs which are also the turn signals. stripped of the paint off of the gas tank and sealed everything with a mat clear to lock in the rust.

those carbs had to be the most challenging yet, took nearly a week of soaking just to take them apart. all new wiring and swapped out the points and condenser for an electric ignition.

it's fun to drive and gets lots of attention where ever i go.

I love my old Honda goldwing, it's big, heavy, and has been expensive ever since I bought it but I love it. I put a lot of miles on this thing, since I started riding it I put on 3k miles and it has been on the road since April. And I just did a full service and the oil was black. I will always mock HD bros for trailering their bikes everywhere lol

For some reason every time I ride it I end up messing up my tail 😭 any tips?
