any motorcyclists?

I just got my license in May....I was tired of the sore butt from riding on the back of my hubby's bike (2008 Suzuki B-King). I have a 2003 Suzuki SV650. LOVE it! :bigsmile:

Have a Harley Deluxe, ride for fun short trips. Need to start doing more, but since I work @ home, it is hard to ride to work.

Street bike
GSXR-600

Harley Heritage Softail---Street -- scared of the dirt, and gravel and rain and most other vehicles on the road.

I SO want a Harley but just sold out Honda... Hopefully we'll have a Harley in the garage soon!

Waited a long time for mine. It sure isnt the fastest but hey its a Harley !

why do you guys dart in and out of lanes?

willing to give the benefit of the doubt that it's something to do with having to maintain a certain speed to keep your bike upright (i'm crap at science, it's possible), but maybe it's something else. curious minds want to know.

(but really, it is annoying to drive in your vicinity. no car driver wants to kill a motorcyclist because they didn't see them in their blind spot - you are very tiny and fast! also fyi i've been told nurses call your vehicles meat grinders.)

i will never get on a motorcycle, but other than the above it does look romantic and all that.

not all motorcyclists ride like morons. The ones that do likely were never properly trained and/or like to think they are showing off. :grumble:

And no, the ones that ride like idiots don't do so to keep the bike upright. :ohwell: the bike can stay upright at idle with proper clutch control and balance (moving at only a couple mph).

For my 16 year old kid, riding is his PASSION. It is great to see this. All 4 of my boys ride, by its in his blood.
By the age of 15, he worked for and purchased on his own 4 motocross bikes, rebuilt the engines, carburetors...you name it, he does it.
A bunch of guys bring their bikes to him to do oil changes, brakes, etc. Its great to see the trust and respect he has already earned at this age...and he's good. Where he got it from, I don't know, but it makes a biker Dad proud!

Current project - 1978 Suzuki GS550 awesome bike! Only 8K miles. Its running perfect. He might make a cafe racer or bobber out of it. We'll see what the winter brings...

I ride a Versys now and had a 650L that I miled :sad: out after a dozen years...lol

I like to ride
....I just don't have a bike right now

I ride a Yamaha Vstar 650. I love that it is short enough for me to flatfoot. Husband has the 1100. He would love to move up to a Victory. We went on the Victory test ride and he fell in love, but can't fund it yet.

Honda CBR600F

It does everything and feels so nimble and agile, loves corners and wants to go faster.

My husband and I just got a brand new Yamaha FZ6R.. love it! I'm just the passenger though but it's so much fun. We go out for rides all the time, every nice day he rides it to and from work. Such a great money saver too considering he works 45 minutes away from home. Much cheaper to ride the bike rather than take the car.

2006 ZX6R in my profile pic. Did my first track day Sept. 14. I'm hooked on track riding now.
