Not a great pic, but mine's the second from the left. It's a 2001 Electra-Glide Classic from H-D. LOve riding, love knives! ![[Linked Image from i67.photobucket.com]](http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h308/dla26232/P1000563.jpg)

Any suggestions for a good cheap one??? depends.. what you wanna do with it? LoL oh man.. there's almost as many Bike "answers" as there are Knife answers! you lookin for a commuter? beater? looker? new/used? what's your experience? My buddy picked up a Kawasaki Ninja 750 for less than $1000! sure the fairings were scraped on Both sides, and the chain was looser than a you know what.. but we it fixed up in 1 weekend, and it's still fast enough to give him road rash if he wants it! and of course.. on the other end of the spectrum.. sky's the limit!

if you're into cruisers..
there are entry level 883cc/1200cc Sportsters.. up to the 88 cubic inch big twins.. and beyond.
Japanese cruisers are a Dime a dozen! they don't hold value at all so you can pick 'em up CHEAP from folks who don't wanna ride any more.

Leatherface, Yea I am entirely to goodlooking to dump a pretty bike so I want a beater start by asking around work.. or friends, relatives.. Folks Always have bikes sitting in the garage that they no longer want to ride, or wanna trade & upgrade. You'll wanna start it up, check for wipe-out marks, loose chains, rims aren't wobbly, goes into every gear, preferably ride around the block. Best thing is they'll prolly throw in all their gear too! helmets, etc. Bike maintenance is relatively easy too. Worst thing for me is rear tires.. every 6-8K miles.. ouch.
