How much does talking bourbon cost?

You ain’t got that much.

As we said so long ago, "If I have to explain it, you wouldn't understand, anyway." I started as a 4-year old passenger on my older brother's Enfield- earned my first exhaust burn on my ankle- and once that happened, I couldn't get it out of my system. First bike was a 1966 Honda super 90, then to Hodaka, Yamaha 650, then I got my first real motorcycle, a Sportster... haven't looked back..

Current ride.

Lots in between. All sizes, most brands—except Bimota and MotoGuzzi.

Even Had a Cagiva 125 for a couple months.

My first bike was a Kawasaki 50. Then a Yamaha 125 Enduro, then a RM 125, then a YZ 250, then a Mako 250 Spider. Then I outgrew motocross and got a Honda XR 250R which was actually a 250 frame with a 450cc 4 stroke engine. I never had a street bike until my late 30’s when I got a Fat Boy.

Motorcycles have a lot in common with boats.

The saying goes like this- I'd rather have a Sea-Ray than a Baja. I'd rather have a Baja than a Bayliner. I'd rather have a Bayliner than a John boat. I'd rather have a John boat than no boat at all.

Moral of the story.... doesn't matter what ya got, as long as your on the water.

Doesn't matter what bike ya got. As long as your riding.

With that being said. This is the only bike I care about nowadays.

Orange crush.

Want: 450 EXCW motor in a 690 frame with LC4 electrics.

 

[VAShotgun]

Yep, I wholeheartedly agree. The fact that you ride is more important than what you ride..

That would be trick.

My kids just getting to the point to where I can get back on it. I got the itch BAD.

Our timing was bad. Just as my sons was old enough to be competitive in Hare Scrambles, we went to Europe for 3 years. Had to get a FIM license and he wasn’t old enough in Italy.

Enduro riding in Europe is on my bucket list.

I count 5 bikes in that photo.

It’s different. Awesome experience; realize it’s mostly closed course, so some of the Hare Scramble tricks will get your DQ’d.

My goal is to go back for a gentleman’s Paris-Dakar.

Not for me. I'd walk before I'd ride some bikes.

Here's a Pasta Burner for ya:


A couple more Pasta burners:


Oh.. wait.. Another Pasta burner!


Here's a Rice burner.. just to prove I'm not discriminatory


Peace out, bros.

If it wasn't for Riders from ALL brands banding together, do you think we would have the ability to defeat oppressive regulations for motorcyclists? I'm surprised that a 2A supporter would really feel this way. Don't misunderstand me- Harley oil runs through my veins, but some of the folks I ride with have Gold Wings, and Indians, and even Triumphs. I have no intention of riding anything but a Harley, but the main thing is they ride and I ride..

What's Europe got that the USA doesn't?

My choice of what I'm willing to ride has little to no effect on government regulations on motorcycles.

What's Europe got that the USA doesn't?

Different public attitudes towards motorcycling in general, for one.
