Im being serious here, are you not even a little bit worried about crashing and perishing? Thats why I do not want anything more then my ATV, I would be so worried not about myself really but what if another car hits you? You can be the best rider but a car can still smoke you. On another note, I like that your State allows people to decide on there own if they want to protect there head.

You do realize that your ATV is MUCH more unstable and unsafe than any 2 wheeled bike, don't you.
Me i have been riding Motorcycles since age 5, 48 this year. I have crashed them several times, ON RACE TRACKS. The most injured I ever got was 1 time at 15mph while DRIVING a Chevy Pickup and the worst on a bike was sprained ankle, sidesiped by car. I'm not counting road rash incidents, although they may count as worse injury..

Red, please post a pic of the Z1!
Ahh the memories!

Here you go. My Dad bought it new in '73, but it's actually a '74 model.

Awesome!
Thank you!
Looks like it's all there too!
That's a beautiful machine. Blast from the past. I loves those bikes.
Last Z1 I had the pleasure of riding had a stretched frame, cafe bars and a1050cc bore. It was a rocket.
It's crazy owner also had a super sport Honda 6cyl with an aftermarket turbocharger!

Since you like that, here's some more. Other than the obvious windjammer fairing, sissy bar, and luggage rack, Dad did a few more mods. He didn't like how tall it rode, so had a 16" Harley rim laced up to the original brake drum on the rear to lower it. Then changed the drive sprocket for one more tooth to retain the final gearing. I have to be careful when using the sidestand, as it stands a little too upright. Getting it on the center stand takes some muscle too.

It's also sporting an oil cooler and 2 into 1 pipes. The original 4 into 4 exhaust never had a chance to rust out like they all did. He swapped those for a set of ...... 4 into 1's and went to the current setup when he got tired of the noise. No matter what, there's nothing in the world that sounds better than those 900's, even now.

The way it sits now is just like it was when I took my first ride on the back when I was 7 yrs old.

I no longer ride my own bike anymore after my eye surgeries but I do ride on the back now with hubby! He would get tired of me asking to stop for a smoke break, but not any more! I happily vape for hours on the back now!

My hubby and I love to ride. It was always a pain when I smoked because its tough to do with the wind and the full face helmet. (Dont want to leave our 6 kids without a parent or both) He would stop all the time for me so that I could get my nic fix (about every 30 min. yikes!). Now, I just vape under the front of the helmet and all is good. No more stopping. I need to invest in some lanyards though. Love the freedom that vaping has given me.

I always wanted a bike but never got one. It looks a bit difficult to vape while riding. :O

I'm glad to see some fellow women who ride, or used to . A couple days ago I saw a tiny, older woman out on a huge cruiser. I wanted to talk to her, lol!

Anything that takes your hand more than a few cm from the handle bars is potentially deadly.

Looks like your enjoying yourself, but the first car driver to pull out without seeing you will wipe you out.

I ride an R1 and enjoy my bikes, but always drive defensively, and that means in full control.

Vaping and riding is an accident waiting to happen.

I appreciate you are taking it easy in the clip, but sorry, it's the car drivers fault but you're still dead.

Do what makes you happy, but I can't recommend this.

I appreciate your concern on my safety and that's all good. I have been riding since 1966 and understand defensive driving all to well the only time I vape is out of town rides where I am on old back roads. I definitely know the dangers of a motorcycle since my brother went down on one in 1979 at over 120 mph. the bike got on top of him and did some serious damage. He ended up with the mind of a 10 year old and lived for almost 30 years after the accident. For your information it was alcohol related. Ride Hard Ride Safe.
