    Default Who Rides??

    I was winterizing my bike last night and was wondering who here rides. I know Sarge does, and BKCloud owns a Harley (and may even ride it from time to time ).

    So, if you ride, post up here and tell us what you ride.

    As for me, I own a 30th Anniversary Gold Wing, totally stock except for highway pegs and grips. I love everything else about the bike, so except for a possible chrome touch here or there, why change??

    Oh yeah, that little blue beauty you see in my avtar was sold July past. Broke my heart but I wasn't riding it. I had put 500 KMs on her since I had bought the Wing, so insurance alone was costing me like $2 / KM, so it just wasn't worth it.

    I used to drive a gsx-r 750, but had to sell it to go back to school. I am planning on purchasing a new one in a year or 2.

    I have a very hard time keeping 4 wheeled vehicles out of triple digits, right side up, and in one piece.... even though I would love a bike... I know it would result in nothing good.
    Seatbelts save lives, my best friend and I are alive because of them.

    Nobody is ever gone as long as there is someone to remember them.

    Jon, I teach the class here at a local college in the summertime and while the MSF in the States teaches a slightly different course that I'm not real familiar with, it will ease you're sense of nervousness and instill a sense of confidence. You're also taught to look out for the many "crazys" out there and it will affect your 4-wheel driving habits as well, for the better.

    I've had a yamaha seca for a while, I used to ride all the time, then one baby, then two more and.... the longest ride in the last two years was from my old house to my new house. About 2 miles.

    I used to ride

    Had a Kawasaki KE100

    An old Hodaka Combat Wombat 125 which was pound for pound as whicked as a bike I have ever ridden

    An Old Kawasaki H2 750 3 cyl 2 stroke, The fastest bike I have ever ridden, 13 seconds in a 1/4 mile . Scariest bike I have ever ridden too bar none

    A 73 Kawasaki 900 when they still had the lightweight crankshaft in it. 135 mph down a 2 lane country road in nothing but shorts and flipflops .


    Funny thing is my childhood friend died in 1981 on his bike and he was a textbook proper bike rider

    Thanks you Jesus for letting me survive my youth and marry and reproduce another male offspring. I am sure you will protect him as you did me
    The older I get ,the better I was

    well, maybe i'll go up to The Great White North for my safety class that would be fun.
