Good stories....have rode since old enough to ride a bicycle. The main thing is respect em and WATCH for cages (cars) and be careful. Just got back into it because of a sweet deal that came along. otherwise it would be years from now. Im loving it again though.,..been riding to work most everyday.


Dress for the slide and not the ride!! :sun:

i rode small dirt bikes in high school, nothin bigger than a 450, but i always thought all drivers should be required to ride a motorcycle for at least a week. it would make every body a better driver.

Ferm that GS1100 Suzuki was the most incredible bike. Stone reliable, handled incredible, especialy after my upgrade tire and shock wise from stock. It was incredibly smooth with so much torque and horsepower it did everything so effortlessly it was a dream machine. Would load up the bike with me, the CEO, all our camping gear and supplies and cruised all over New England on several trips with her. Would go off road in the mountains, cruise like a caddy on the highway and when I wanted to get frisky in the hills it made no difference all the weight on it at all.
When it was just me and the bike, OMG. Someone once suggested I put a set of Vance and hines pipes on it, I said why? could not use the power it had, would launch my front wheel off the ground in third gear and scare the crap out of me as it was.
It is an incredible feeling I admit missing. But dangerous as all H@ll, all three of my accidents in probably close to 80thousand miles, or more, were not my fault.

i rode up until the day i watched my friend die on his bike. we were cuisin down peninsula blvd just south of the southern state. i owned a lowrider without an electric start. (electric start is for jap bikes and dentists) and john was riding his shiney new crotch rocket. i was puttin along at 45 mph or so and he was jerkin around blasting past me and making U turns and doing it again. just as we rode past the state park a squirrel darts into the road. he hit it at about 95 mph and never got it back. he hit the stone bridge and never knew what happened. i went home that night and sold my bike and never rode again.

Willy, those GS1100's are FINE bikes. Would love to have one one day a true classic.


CTT, hate that for you bro. I see plenty of those types of riders around here. Gives a bad name to motorcycles.

Rode on dirt since I was a kid on 2,3, and 4 wheels. Wish I could get a bike but I sure as heck am not going to ride it in Birmingam.

Stinky the bike looks great! Remember ATGATT!

BTW, the most common level 1 trauma ER docs see are MC's vs. cagers.

never owned one but use to ride dirt bikes.
Been thinking since last year I get a road bike, but CB and others around me don't think its a good thing for me with a few of my health issues??
Some say I should not be on 4 wheels, since 3 weeks ago I totled a Toyota with my truck. Just got my truck back today, they did a great job on the repairs!!
What Toyota?:laugh:

listen to CB Wind Talker

Had all types of dirt bikes growing up and three or four road bikes. Always think about getting a new one, but I can't take the chance because I got the two little ones now. Always afraid of the idiot that is going to rear-end me at a red light and put me in a wheel chair.

Finally got my new decals in today


here she is now:
