    Thought you meant bicycles. Saves even more on gas.
  • Nice bike you have there. I dabbled with it. Got my motorcycle license then went straight to the dealership and got a 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom. Rode it for two weeks around the neighborhood and decided that I just had too much fear and sold it.

    I never ventured into motorcycles... rode one when I was young, and, in a startling burst of intelligence (for me, at that age), I realized that owning one would be my death warrant. Cheers, RickO

    It's gonna be 43 here today with possibly 60 before the weekend, I like riding my bike to my Coin shop.
    And after being garaged for the winter looking forward to it.
    Was just curious how many of US Coin collector's ride.
    Sorry if you don't like it, but it is coin related sorta image

    Ride my bicycle whenever the weather permits. Gave up on motorcycles after my 2nd near-death
    experience (was forced off the road by a car that didn't see me, and nearly hit a utility pole at 40 MPH).
    That was about 40 years ago.

    Coins are MUCH safer!

    I already have a sweet road bike which, when new
    costs more than a lot of new motorcycles!!!

    I'm with Ricko...I was 20 riding 100MPH on a gravel road and thought...this might not be the smartest thing I've ever done. Also counted the number of times blind car drivers pulled out in front of me looking right through me and thought similar thoughts. Every once in a while I think about getting one, but...

    Talk about dangerous. How about my closed course 2 stroke 48cc Goped Trail Ripper. Fully suspended with a top speed of 49 MPH. This sucker screams, pops wheelies and will smoke the rear tire until it pops. Real FUN on the trails, but very edgey to ride.

    Not if you are one of the fine, athletic specimens I see at coin shows who fuels up on KFC and Taco Bell, super size me please, gas? The word salad is in the same category as dipping.image I was once issued a mountain bike in the military and thought, these cheap m*ther f****rs, can't even spring for gas. I am sure it cost the tax payers $50k for the bike though.image

    A good chunk of my life was spent on 2-Stroke street bikes, had to quit em due to lack of maturity.

  • I do.
    And unfortunately need to sell. Even though I don't want to.

    I don't think you'll get to far on this one. Something important is missing...
    BTW, that's a pretty tight cluster. Is it a racing bike?

    The photo was from the seller in the process of being built for me. Yup, nice and tight! Ended up with Dura Ace 12-25. It was his racer he was parting out. I jumped on it since it's the only naked CF Kona out there.
