who rides?

[dvn]

These are my "rides"

 

[JCHAG]

I have a motorcycle license, but am afraid with Florida's notoriously awful drivers. Most days I fear for my life behind surrounded by 3000 lbs of metal, nevermind a bike. I've lived in Mass and NJ, and FL drivers are significantly worse here than drivers in those states. I hear about motorcycle fatalities everyday here.

Do you "ride" it to the track and back? Do you "ride" it to work? To get something quick at the grocery store?

I'd love to ride it to work, unfortunately I cannot picture riding an ATV down route 78 or 287 in NJ without getting caught. Groceries? Really dude? Yeah, I hang the plastic bags off of the handle bars.


My wife rides our Raptor 350 which was originally mine until I decided it was way too slow for me. The 350 can be fun to ride, but sometimes you just want that eye watering acceleration feel even on a dirt trail, yanno?

I rode this 1999 Honda VFR Interceptor for a while; then sold it to my son who still owns it. Now I ride a 1988 Goldwing that I purchased new: (first year for the 6 cylinder)

That would be a crazy rid for the streets and that bag of grocieries would look great hanging of the handle bars!lol

I started with riding at 30 (20 years ago)
1. Yamaha Seca II aircooled standard with half fairing and very cheap suspension. Had it for 2 years.
2. Yamaha FZR400 - small displacement sports bike. First time I touch down a peg. It could go fast without you knowing it or having to work at it.
3. Honda CBR600F2 - (if you don't know what this is, you shouldn't be reading this thread). Incredibly comfortable bike for a sport bike. Fastest I've gone with me at the controls (140 indicated and notoriously optimistic).
4. Kawasaki ZRX1100 - standard, '80s-replica with a big modern motor. Pods, jets, exhaust, and gobs of torque. Wish I hadn't sold it.
5. Suzuki SV650 - the new definition of UJM. '01 round-tube naked. Still have. Flat bar, jets, ZX6R rear shock, RaceTech springs and gold valves. Also restyled rear fender. Really a nice bike now. Had it since '06.

I was to the Motorcycle Show in December in Seattle. Lots of sweet rides to be had this year. I would love a Triumph Street Triple R or Thruxton, or the Ducati HyperStrada. But I'm really hankering to build a cafe bike or bobber (not a chopped bobber but a standard style). I've been thinking about a Ryca kit (built on a Suzuki S40/Savage, 650 thumper) or finding a old aircooled CB, of which there are plenty here in the NW.

Can I just say that I love bikes? Thx.

2012 night rod special. Pretty fast, but a real kidney crusher. If I had known it would be that uncomfortable I would have bought a crotch rocket, most likely a GSXR.

 

[mowcowbell]

Another 2 wheeled rider, but mine is a '11 Trek Mamba mountain bike.

Let's see I HAD bikes...sold them for one of these though:

but I started on a '01 Suzuki GS500
Then got a '00 Triumph Sprint RS
And for fun I bought a neighbors wrecked '95? Honda CBR600F2 and fixed it up...

I'm thinking about getting another GS500 to commute on though..my wife took my sonic so I'm stuck driving the murano....bleh..
