Nice scoot.

I got my first bike, a 67-68-69 softie in a basket, for my 16th birthday. Took me four weeks to get it together another week to make it run and then another 4 days to break it down and take it out of my bedroom. In the end the sheriff got the scoot a fire got the pics and all I have left are the memories of a simpler time.

These days I run around in a big black cage. Might as well have a walker and a colostomy bag.

As many scooters as they take youl'd think they were in the motorcycle business.

5cardstud, now that is my kind of machine! I love it!!!

I rode a lot when I was young. My first bike was a 1953 Indian Chief that I bought in 1958. (Ask me if I wish I still had it!) Over the years I had so many motorcycles that I'd have to sit and think for a while to try to remember all of them.

My wife won't let me ride any more. she says I'm old. And my wheels now are 4wheelers, but I enjoy those too and sometimes I feel like it was 50 years ago and remember riding with my friends.

I've got a Honda CBR1100XX that I've put 36000 on so far. Longest day was a 16.5 hour trip, 950 miles. Kawasaki's 2011 Ninja 1000 with the hard bags might be my new ride though, just waiting on it to get here. I work for a Kawasaki dealership, it's going to take a hell of a bike to get me off my Honda....

Honda and Kaw both are top notch IMO :)

sweeeet drool drool, there's some mighty fine looking wheels in here!!! well.....here's my teeny baby, yes yes i know, i should upgrade, i just haven't come across the right ride yet. Its a toss up between staying with the cruisers or back to my first love of sports/naked's. My virago is just a standard 250-S and only 6 years young.

1999 Ultra Classic.jpg Harley Ultra Classic

I've been riding for easily 40+ years. It's so much a part of me that I could bleed oil at times.:)

I've ridden every state except Alaska. Rented an HD in Hawaii cuz I just had to take a cruise around the island.
Love running "The Dragon" with my buddys. I've got riding buddys all over the US and no matter where I'm at, I have a friend in the area, or they will get to me. I've been put up for the night in so many places, I feel like my family is huge. There isn't anything better.
Now at my age, comfort is what I'm digging. The Ultra Classic takes care of that. Quad surround sound. Set the cruise -plug my loaded MP3 in - and I'm gone.:vapor:

Ya that bike is definitely comfortable. I have a few friends with them, but they are way out of my $$ league LOL
