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
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.
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...
how could i not dad had a friend named norris darnell...he was 2nd rated antique motorcycle collector in western us...a retired indian shop owner who drug me out to help him at show competitions. one show he won oldest running unrestored american by having me kick it for the judges with gas pouring out the leaking tank...yup even over electrics...1903 marsh steve McQueen frequented his house trying to pry one of norris's henderson ace's but norris never budged first when i got out of the navy i fell into racing offroad of all things abate of oregon held a drawing competition for their calender which my my drawing of the xp4 (factory ace race bike) acquired january position... "bikes are in my blood"
everything in life is but merely on loan to us by our appreciation....lose your appreciation and see
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.
Thought you meant bicycles. Saves even more on gas
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. 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.
<< <i>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.
It is not that life is short, but that you are dead for so very long.

Coins are MUCH safer!
I already have a sweet road bike which, when new
costs more than a lot of new motorcycles!!!
Sure, but not on the street.

And unfortunately need to sell. Even though I don't want to.
BTW, that's a pretty tight cluster. Is it a racing bike?
