Motorcycle Riders?

Does anyone ride? My Dad got me a brand new Yamaha 60cc dirt bike when I was about 12, I remember that day like it was yesterday. It was yellow with black pin stripes on the tank and oil injected....Ya never forget your first one At the moment I ride a 2007 HD V-Rod and my wife rides a very cool 96 lowered Super Glide. Tim

Don't let Cincy try and pull the wool over your eyes... the only thing he rides is a Schwinn.

Rode for almost all the years before the kids came along. As soon as the youngest turns 18, I am gonna pick up an old school R Beemer, 900 to 1150............ I started with a Honda 305, worked my way thru most of the British makers, then did Harley until I couldn't stand working on them, and last had a Kawi KZ1000 that you couldn't kill.

Now I am just old and fat, so the BMW is the perfect thing to put miles under my butt.

I've been riding dirt bikes for 40 years. First was a 1972 Kawasaki 90 brand new.
Current is a KTM 300 XC . Never owned a street bike.

The is the ride I picked up brand new last year in the States...

Yes, I always wear full leathers and riding gear no matter how hot it is (it was 95 degree that day and just wheeled it out for picture purposes). It is giggle fast fun and with the Brembo brakes has freaky breaking power.


And this is my toy for the dirt and ice.
