Yeah,..I ride. Always keep a couple motos around. Right now my fav is this Honda VTX 1800C model. Top pic is setup for touring up around Asheville, NC. Bottom pic is for around town here in Florida.
All my Harley buds absolutely HATE it. Especially after I let'm take it for a spin.

i sure do, smoothe bike, not too much power, very predictable, exellent bike to learn on, i was scrapping pegs about 3 months after learning to ride. I would feel alot safer riding a mc these days. I have slowed down a whole hell of alot and dont ever speed anymore since I wrecked my GTO 3 years ago.

Wow, as bad as all that looks, it did its job, in the old days that whole windshield area would have been destroyed with you poking thru it. Imagine if you had been two wheeling it, well you would not be imagining it right now thats for sure.
That is why I had to stop with the bikes, like Randall and Hammer will tell you, we responded to hundreds of accidents in our career's. Whenever they would say motorcycle involved we would automatically send the trauma unit and alert the medivac chopper.
There are too many people not paying any attention at all sometimes, barely notice trucks and cars never mind something small like bikes, no matter how loud you make your pipes or how many lights you hang on it. H@ll the deer in the road around here is off the charts, cars bikes trucks all smaking them everyday.
Sh!t Happens, and when it happens on a bike the odds are dead set against you. If you manage to walk away like I have said I have done, you will pay for it for the rest of your life, one way or another physically.

Here's a shot of my work Harley and I on the deck of the USS NC in Wilmington.
This is one of the PD's new Honda's.
That's my CBR on the left.
I too am still paying for going down on I-40 in 2001.

Awesome pics!
That a st 1300? NICE police bike!
I hate the couple motorcycle cops (and most city cops) around here. They are on such a power trip and are major azzholes.

Yep, ST1300.
Unforfunately there are some that put on the badge and think they are big stuff.
Eventually something will bring them back to earth.

Here with my 08 Hypermotard, 9500 miles in 8 months, I know I am a "little" crazy, but life is too short to be wasted. We just buried a 48 year old friend who was strong a a bull, fun as a clown, and a great Dad and coworker, got sick with some bacteria on his lungs, and a month later he is "Up there" in Heaven. I don`t waste one second.
I ride my boat every weekend, and ride my bike every day rain or shine. Well, before becoming a boater, I was a motocross rider, riding since 3 years old, every day, and I am 46, thats a lot of handlebar time, honestly, I still love bikes more than boats, BUT, in the boat I can behave nice, hang with my kids and friends, and relax.
I am an aircraft mechanic, ride bikes every day, and boats on weekends, I think I am a little loco loco....
