Any motorcycle aficionados here?
Are you a cruiser or a Harley guy or a power ranger? Or an ADV Biker?
I like all kinds of bikes. What about you?

    No, he rode Ned Beatty.

    He does have some purty lips...

    I've got a Royal Enfield Himalayan, an old Yamaha RX100, KTM RC 390. I've rode a lot of bikes. I'm selling those bikes off except the RX100 which sounds like a dream. Planning to buy a Bonneville t120 soon. What about your plans.

    @AxleAddict My father had a Harley, several of my uncles, too. I've met and visited with Easy Rider. It's a way of life. There are bikers from all over the world that come through my neck of the woods headed for Sturgis every year. Stay safe out there on the road, it's the vehicles that keep your toes. So long now.

    @Mari22na Back in the days, People knew how to ride a car with a stick. Nowadays cagers know nothing. They don't even care whether there are guys out there going on two wheels near them. No matter whether it's the Cager's fault or the rider's fault, When there is an accident, the rider has to pay the price.
    Regards.

    @AxleAddict George C. came through here on his bike, too. We have the pix to prove it. I was saddened by his recent accident and it was not his fault. Respectfully. Marina

    Now that’s a beauty!

    I’m waiting patiently for my husband to finish buffing up his 1969 triumph t20. It still has its original silver and purple paint and has been in storage sing the 70/80s and still started first time .

    Been a couple of years since I've ridden, more due to lack of time than desire since I don't ride on the street anymore (last rode on the street in '06 when I had far too many "near misses" from inattentive &/or aggressive cagers). But, have ridden trackdays on sportbikes and SuperMoto. Also ride motocross, harescrambles, trails.

    Have had a few bikes over the years. Currently have a '98 CR250R and an '08 CRF450r. The 450 will be converted to SuperMoto so I can take advantage of a small local paved track.

    If you are starting to ride again, know that when we stop riding, we lose skills and be an inexperienced guy. I'm still learning everyday. I watch a YouTube series about riding and I'm Impressed with the guy who hosts it. The name of his channel is McRider, I think you will find it useful. He gives us real life application of what he teaches us, you should watch that brother.
    Peace.

    I've been riding for years - started before it was socially acceptable - I got a 650 BSA in 1969 then a 1960 Harley Panhead in 1973. I've been on Harleys since then. - Got a bunch of miles & some scars.

    Power Ranger here. :D

    Grew up riding dirt. I picked up my first street bike (Honda CBR600 F4i) in 2001 and never looked back. Had a Honda CBR929RR, 2 Yamaha R1's, a Honda RC-51 and the current bike is a 2007 Yamaha R6 that I race. Selling the race bike and looking to pick up a dirt bike again and might get a Yamaha Raider in the future.

    Just like riding a bike, don't forget how. But, the skills aren't as polished. I've been riding off and on for almost twenty years, with the last 11 being on closed-course or off-road riding. Each time I get back on the bike, I take time to relearn and do some skills courses before going full-bore again.

    Have zero desire to ride street again. Too many inattentive *kitten* out there texting, putting on makeup, shoving BigMacs in their faces or think they're king of the road. Perfectly happy riding my tracks or trails. :)
