Re: Motorcycles...
Been riding for 34 years. Raced the Circuit (125 Class) in New York in the early 1980's.
Was involved in a Street Bike Rear - End Collision in 1984. Have not ridden as an "occupation" since. Am about to buy another RM 250 (first since 1986). Will build a Street Sled soon. ![]() It may be crooked, but you would not like to be on the receiving end of any kick I deliver with it.

Re: Motorcycles...Quote:
I haven't owned a scooter in some time. I've had about ten, and when I got discharged from the Air Force I rode all over the country for about three months, even up into Canada. Sold my last one in '89 after a spill that gave me a road rash to remember. Lately I've had my eye on one of those BMW police bikes. Probably won't do it, but I do get the urge now and again. |

Re: Motorcycles...
Still have my motorcycle classification on my drivers license, but haven't had a bike in about 5 years. I've had both street bikes(Yamaha FZ1 and Honda CBR6000) and dirt bikes(Honda 450's and 250's). I've spent a lot of time at Glamis since about 1985. Next bike will be a Harley type bike once this recession subsides and the credit card debt is gone.

Re: Motorcycles...
I suspect you'll find that those around here who don't ride, did, for the most part. I was heavily into it for years, but kids and the nature of my work pretty well put an end to it.
Maturity=burnt out youth. <sigh> |

Re: Motorcycles...
On the roads, I prefer a nice v twin cruiser.
Off road, I prefer human power and a mountain bike. |

Re: Motorcycles...
Used to....I have a nice, custom painted V Star 1100 Classic that was ridden 30 miles last year.....to the shop for service and oil change, and back....what a waste. I am always looking for a trade....kills me to have it sit there.

Re: Motorcycles...
Just in the dirt now, too many close calls and bumps and dumps from cars that just cant seem to pay attention.

Re: Motorcycles...
Yes, I love to very much, but don't make enough time for it like I used to, especially when I get some time off, it usually is because of lousy weather.
The bike I am most comfortable on is my 98 Heritage Springer, but for looks and show, I have a 95 Fat Boy, and for top end speed, i have a 78 Shovelhead. Pictures of the Springer are in a thread from last May, talking about the local Little Angels ride. I'll dig them up later when I stop in at the office to sign the paychecks. Ed

Re: Motorcycles...
I heve posted this before, but it warrants a second viewing. And possibly a third!!
