Motorcycles who rides?

jriehl08

I have an 08 650 Vstar that I bought as a leftover new 2 yrs ago. Tore my shoulder at work and only rode 2k miles the first year. I put 9k miles on last year in 3 months of riding. Today was the first ride to start of my season. 23 degrees in michigan when I left home this morning for work. Im shooting for 20k miles this season.

Long time rider here, started at 10 years old with a Suzuki TS185.

Current ride is a 1999 Ducati Monster 750. I normally ride year round, but mine is currently sitting waiting for me to put a new chain, timing belts and check valve clearances.

I've ridden on the back of many a bike but have yet to summon up the courage to ride one by myself. I own a Wildfire scooter that I am too afraid to take on the road! lol

DOOOO EEEET!!!

Pick a low traffic road during a low traffic time and give it a shot! I remember my first open road ride, it was amazing!

I want to so bad but I always get scared at the end of the driveway! I'm determined to go out this summer! :happy:

BigDaddyRonnie

OMG! So jealous that you got to ride already!

My buddies and I are just chomping at the bit to get out and ride! It snowed last night about an inch, so we now need to wait AGAIN!

We are planning to ride on St Patty's Day...crossing our fingers for nice(r) weather.
We all have Harleys, but we don't discriminate...we just like the style of bike. Anyone can ride with us. Our wives are riders too...BOB's and drivers.

Our favorite time is trailering them Ocean City MD for a ride on the strip. Why don't we ride down? Its a 4 hour trip, and we are towing our campers. The guy with the 40' bus pulls the trailer of bikes. It is definitely a man-toy weekend!

My bike gets closer and closer to looking like a harley every time I touch it. I had a batwing on last season. This winter I put on a harley style fairing with inner and outer shells with 6x9 speakers and a full radio. I did +4 forks and lowered the rear 4 inches. I have the biggest aftermarket saddle bags I could get. They pretty much cover the shaft drive so you cant really tell. My next bike will be a streetglide just as soon as I wear this bike out. Im figureing about 2-3 years I should be up around 60-70k miles on it and time to off it.

I do cant wait for winter to be over

mamakira

Yamaha Virago 535 rider here. Unfortunately noone else in my family rides and the season is too short where I live. Can´t wait to get her out of the garage.

07 Harley Softail deuce, chopped out and added 18" apes and 3" risers....Im in South Carolina, it is always riding season...

Citrislazer

I ride dirt bike. Does that count? Working on skills and saving up for my first street bike, though. I do ride on the back of my boyfriends street bike. Love it when we do wheelies. Last year we rode street bike 12 months out of the year. It was probably a first and last time for that. We live in wicked cold North Dakota. We got lucky.

jriehl08

Sure it counts.. Riding is riding. I have almost 200 miles in already this yr. Very unheard of for Michigan riders.

MzIrish

I have a Honda CBR 600f4
only rode twice last year. Hoping to ride a lot more this summer.

Alatariel75

I'm 33 years old and am still terrified enough of my bike riding dad to listen when he says "my little girl is never getting on a road bike! It's too dangerous with all the &^%$s on the roads"

thanks for buying me them as a kid then crushing my dreams when I got my licence, Dad.

Sigh.

DrMAvDPhD

I am still on my "starter bike", a 2005 Yamaha Virago 250. I also live in Michigan but I'm not brave enough to get mine out yet! (Sunday was warm enough but I was jet-lagged!)

Rottnme

Sportbike guy with a Kawi Z1k here. I typically get around 5k per year, mostly in the twisties of the driftless region, and have done tracks day here and there as well.

MzIrish

We get a lot of rain here, so not a lot of riding for me. I wont ride in the rain.
And then it's usually do I ride my bicycle for the exercise or hop on the motorcycle. This year want to ride more motorcycle

veddar79

2002 Harley Fatboy...snowed this past weekend here in MD. Cannot wait to get out on it this season.

Snipsa

Currently driving a small 150cc BigBoy scooter, it's great fun and an economical way of getting to work.

My dream bike atm is the 650 v-strom Suzuki. Saving up for that one...

rpp223

I have a Yamaha 1993 FZR 600. Got it last year at a great price.

Finally got it out this past weekend and it felt GREAT!!

TheRoadDog

Started riding dirt bikes in 1967. Bought my first street bike in 1972. Have been riding ever since. Got a 1997 Royal Star right now.

rileamoyer

Started on dirt bikes in 1974. Currently-updated to a 2013 HD Heritage Classic Soft Tail a few weeks ago. Just had shoulder surgery. Hope to be riding by June 1st. sigh.

suelegal

I've been riding for 8 years after being a passenger for many many years. I have a 2007 FXDC. I'll be keeping my Rosie for a few more years, but my next bike will be a Heritage Soft Tail.

23 degrees??!!! More power to you! The older I get, the more of a fair weather rider I become!

I ride an '05 Suzuki C90 - a 1500cc beast of a machine that used to be called the Intruder. I bought it after I totaled my Honda 750 Shadow ACE when a deer opped out in front of me. If I hit a deer with this one I might just win! :laugh:

I didn't get much riding in last season - I was recuperating from having both knees replaced and then had some problems with a local shop :grumble: . But I'm ready to go this year!

<--- My dog and I ride. Harley 1200XL.

TR0berts

Vulcan 500 here. That's right - 500. It's all I could (read: my wife would let me) afford at the time.

Definitely want to upgrade to some sort of touring bike in the future - probably another Vulcan, but maybe a Gold Wing.

Haven't rode yet - I'm in Connecticut - but I almost took the bike out this past Sunday. I was just too tired after the gym, so I wussed out.

taso42

2006 Honda VFR. This year was the first year in about 3 years that I've broken my year-ride rider strike. Haven't taken it out of the garage in like 3 months.

I also have classy 75 Yamaha RD350. I better get that thing on the road this summer. It's a shame letting it sit.

2010 Harley Street Bob! LOVE my girl!
