April 21, 201016 yr One of the happiest days in my life was the day I sold my motorcycle. Way too many close calls. I loved my bike but I would be lying if I said it wasn't a huge relief when I sold it.
April 21, 201016 yr I love all of the support in here for buying a bike.:lol: Man don't get me wrong, I love riding and enjoy my bike. I just don't do trips or the highway much anymore. I try to enjoy slow rides in the country. So many distractions to drivers and traffic make me a little nervous. Even more so if the Wife is riding too. Be careful and enjoy. Good luck in your search. :thumb:

April 21, 201016 yr I'm the same way in that I don't care for the expressway, and definitely drive in a way that I know others near and around me can see me, like you said too many distracted drivers out there. How about being caught in a thunderstorm or all the loose gravel you can't see when making a turn I could go on and on.

Don't do it, there are two types of motorcycle riders, one's that have laid their bike down, and one's that will. So very true RP.
April 21, 201016 yr Author How about being caught in a thunderstorm or all the loose gravel you can't see when making a turn I could go on and on. I don't ride if there's a chance of rain, atleast not any where that I may get stuck. As for laying it down, I guess if it's meant to be then it's meant to be. I don't take too many risks so I guess this is me living life on the edge.
April 22, 201016 yr The most fun I ever had was riding to the coast and back (Pacific). 6300 miles in a month with no destination other than west on the way out and east on the way back. But I stand by my suggestion of a top caliber helmet, full face preferred. Without one, I would not be typing.......
April 22, 201016 yr Author Buy the Best Helmet money can buy. Already have one and do want to get a full face one as well, the one I have now is 3/4.
April 22, 201016 yr A Vulcan 900 is a pretty good bike I have a Vulcan 900 custom there pretty reliable bikes they sound good with after market pipes 5400 is a fair price if has a bunch of stuff done to it.
April 30, 201016 yr Author Picked up the new motorcycle today, I'll put up some pics when I get a chance. Love it so far.
