    The first thing I thought of when daisy dukes were mentioned was some pretty nasty road rash pics I have seen in the past. I would never wear any type of shorts while riding because of that, plus knowing my luck I would burn my leg on the pipes. [/quote]

    I agree! I was a nervous wreck when I had forgotten my boots, and had to wear jeans and flip flops once!

    what do you ride? #crush

    Do bikers care about aerodynamics?

    Good to see other bike riders here. I ride KTM's mainly, dirt, and Adventure touring but also have a Moto Guzzi for the road. Travel overseas at least once a year to ride somewhere different. On here to improve fitness and drop some kilos. mfp-b9z4v8ju0i0k.jpg

    Let's do a Q&A:

    Do bikers have an alternate life? Like a job, a home and family?

    Because I always see them in the biker bar, playing billiards and lot of women with daisy duke shorts. Please tell!!

    Litigate to ride. Ride to litigate.

    Wow! That was an interesting thread. I'll throw myself into the mix. I ride my own, proudly next to my husband...we have good jobs, a house, camper, grown children and two dogs. There really is no way to describe the pull of riding a motorcycle unless, well, you ride a motorcycle. It's by far, one of the most rewarding things I've done. I totally understand the original post with not having decent food to eat while out riding. I just try to choose something I can share with my husband and throw a side salad with. As far as drinking, I pace myself so that I'm never buzzed at any point... Don't like losing any kind of control on my bike. One of my struggles is riding and feeling my spare tire around my waist

    First picture of me on a bike is at 2 years old. Dad used to haul me around with him. Halfie helmet and sitting on the tank, but it was the early 70s so no one thought much about it in our town of 600 people.

    Mine is a 2003 FXSTDI Deuce - anniversary Gunslinger edition.

    I work, love to read, have a great kid and amazing SO (who has his own bike), pets, house, hobbies AND I love to ride.

    As I read the posts, none of are defined by being bikers. It is just one piece of the puzzle that make us the interesting people we are.

    A never ending struggle to find anything healthy in a biker bar or MC event. I recently went to one where they actually had three platters of fruit and veggies, boy I hope that is a sign of things to come...

    Hello! I'm currently planning a round-the-world trip with my boyfriend on our DR650s. Planning on leaving mid to late 2017. Part of the reason I'm getting fit is for more endurance off-road. :smile:
