Big Josh's bike, anyone else ride?

[Redneck500]

Well, I got the bike out today and tried to ride her a bit, but it was just to cold. I got about a 1/2 mile down the road, and had to turn around. I sold my old one in Sept and bought this one in December. I think i'm gonna put a FSUSA sticker on it somewhere if I can get one to help the guys out a little Heres a picture of her. Does anyone else do any riding?

That is awful pretty there, Josh. The weather isn't too good to be riding right now though. I have a friend here (bikergirl1908) that works at a bike shop and is really into them.

bikergirl is a cool name! lol. Ya, I was trying to ride, but the cold air kept on knocking the mess out of me LOL. I guess I need at least mid 40s or else it's just to cold. I can't wait for spring to get here.

I ride, but currently don't have a bike at the moment. My last bike(1999 Virago 1100) didn't survive. I was going 50mph down the highway when someone leaving a gas station decided to cross the highway about 25 feet in front of me. Luckily I survived when I probably should'nt have. It's not much fun tumbling down the highway at that speed. Someone up above was looking out for me, because I was able to walk away with only some cuts, bruises and roadrash. Took me about 3 months to heal completely, but I do plan on getting another bike this fall. I think I'm going sport tourer this round, and will probably get a Yamaha FJR 1300.

See that is what scares me about Bikes. No matter how careful you are it is the other fools out there that will get you!

Me too! I think it looks like a lot of fun, but I would be afraid to have one in Florida. We have a lot of crazy drivers here.

Every now and then my hubby says he wants to get a bike. I just tell him to make sure his life insurance is up to date;-). I work in the OR and I have seen so many terrible injuries from motorcycles. And it is usually not the rider's fault.

I have been on a bike once but I still have haunting images from when I was 11. I saw a motorcyclist go under a car and it wasn't his fault either. He was using the proper hand signals and some *bleep* hit the bike and he went under. I LOVEEEEE the sound of a motorcycle.

I can make sounds like a motorcycle!

It does go. Not only is it a 1200, it is a 1200 "S" for sport. This means that from the factory
the stock cams were replaced with performance cams, the stock heads were replaced with Buell
Lightening heads. Instead of 1 spark plug per cylinder it has 2. The compression is higher than the
stock 1200 as well.

Now, she is no Ducati, she definitely has some get up and go!

Dang! Glad you're OK! I lost a VTX1300 to a driver making a left turn in front of me. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to ride again because of back injuries (3 compressed vertebrae from landing on my head), but got back on my little VLX about 6 months later. I've moved up to a Spirit 1100 now, and passed the VLX on to my youngest son. It gets me smiling to see him in my rear view mirror!

And I haven't taken my bike out in a while, hasn't been above freezing here for way too long.
