Any bike riders out there ?

[Dstegjas]

Since we have a vehicle forum here I thought I would see how many bike riders we have. I have been riding bikes off and on since the mid 70's. My first street bike was a 1972 Suzuki 750. Most people called them the "Water Buffalo". I put a lot of miles on that bike while I had it. My current bike is a 2004 HD Road King. It's a sweet ride and will probably be my last. So I am enjoying it while I can. If you got em let's see some pictures.

Had a Honda Shadow Aero, Honda 50cc scooter and a Yamaha FZ6. The FZ6 was pretty fun!

Very nice bikes. I have to ask, how old is that picture ? Is that phone booth still on the corner ?

Sorry for all of the typos. Picture was this summer. Small town New Knoxville Ohio. 2 phone booths in town neither work but also they are not vandalized. Love my Harleys. Road King was bought in San Diego from my German friend. I rode it in Ca, Mexico, Az, Nv,Ut,and Co. Now back in Ohio

Well, I started out with a '86 Sportster 883, then a 1981 Harley FLH, then a 1994 Harley Fatboy, then a 1975 Honda Goldwing, and finally a 1996 Sportster 1200. Sadly, I am bike-less right now. It's been about 20 years now, and I do miss it. It's everyone staring at their cell phones while they drive that makes me stick to cars for the time being.

Yes, head has to be on a swivel. I will be 74 next month and still love to ride.

I agree, there are so many distractions these days. At our age, 68 for me we just don't bounce as well as we use too. People cutting us off, going left of center in the curves. I certainly drive differently on my bike then I do in my F-250.

Started riding in 1970. Have had many different bikes over the years. In my stable right now: 2016 Kaw versys 650 ,1985 Honda Gold Wing Interstate ,1980 Yamaha 2 stroke enduro (love that 2 stroke sound grew up on them) Yes it is more dangerous than it used to be but I love riding still. You must have 100% focus on what you are doing. I ride aggressively but ride like everyone is out to hit me. Has worked well for 55 years.

I love the old 2 stroke sounds as well. I run Vance and Hines pipes on my.Harleys, I want to be heard
