any motorcyclists?

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

LOL you sound like me!

I share your fears! How long have you been riding?

I have been riding for almost 7 years. I started just before we got married. Actually rode my Hawk to my wedding shower! :happy:

I ride a HD 883 Sportster. Love it! :bigsmile:

I am a passenger on e 2011 Triumph Rocket III Touring. :happy:

Started in the dirt as a teenager on a YZ-175 (yama-ding-ding-ding!). Gave it up shortly after I got married. Started riding again when gas hit $1.46/litre in 2006 (and my F-150 is an XLT which I think stands for Xtra Large Tank). So, I was looking for a commuter bike to get back into riding and found a used Honda Magna which was good for a couple of years but I wanted something more and got a new 2009 Suzuki Boulevard that they were practically giving away, lovin that bike ever since. I still have the Honda as my wife syas she would like to take a safety course and learn to ride.

Harley-Davidson - turning riders into mechanics for 110 years!

<kidding... really... just kidding!>

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.

While we're at it...all men are pigs! Oh...another generalization. Think before typing. You know this is not true. They don't all do that. And yes...riding a motorcycle is fun and romantic. I like how close I am to my hubby when we ride.

So...to answer the OP's question, NO you do not ride. Thanks so much for your comments however. All us idiot riders will be sure to zip in and around your vehicle & drive only in your blindspot.

OP: My hubby has a 2011 Dyna Wide Glide. I ride on the back...for now. The deal is when my Subaru is paid off, I get MY Harley. I CANNOT WAIT.

ETA: My DH was almost killed when some jack@ss pulled out in front of him in her car. Probably on her phone. I do not worry about his driving, it is the morons on four wheels that concern me. Pay attention and get off the d@mn phone and DRIVE. :mad:

There's a group for that: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/1917-lookin-bad-on-my-bike

:laugh:

I currently ride a Yamaha FZ6R (Pictured in my ticker) after years of riding cruisers.

I also have a Kawasaki Vulcan 750 that I am in the process of rebuilding. My first BIG trip was on the Vulcan (http://ctoons124.blogspot.com/)

My husband rides a Versys.

Lately, I've been riding the bicycle more than the motorcycle!

Currently into vintage bikes, but love ALL motorcycles. My current ride is a 1981 KZ550. She's a temperamental B!TCH, but I love her! Let's RIDE!

This is a great post, even if totally fitness unrelated - unless we focus on calories burned while riding, which seems like a much more legitimate theme

I am still on my Yamaha YBR 125 as I have only complated my A full licence last week... Cannot wait for some money to be available for a *real* bike! Thinking yellow SV650... Any ideas or suggestions?

I have 5 bikes at present. My daily rider is a CVO Road Glide Harley. Two Honda dirt bikes, one classic Suzuki GT 750, and a classic BSA Victor 441. Love all bikes!
