Any motorcycle riders here?

What do you ride?

I have a Honda CBR 600. Been riding only riding for the last two years. I should have started riding long ago

It's snowing now in Chicago. When is spring?

I'm up by the border, near the Gurnee area.

Mods, can you please add OT to the thread title. Guess I should read the rules.

I've got a 2002 CBR954RR myself. Ragvette, you ever ride with ChicagoRiders?

Living in Zimbabwe i used to have an '86 CB900FF, tore all the fairing off and added round lights and mirrors, redid the paint job, and drove nothing else. Living in Ontario, I can't justify having a bike and only being able to use it 6 months of the year as you can't insure bikes for longer than 6 months without getting regular year long insurance... how dumb is that... well at least that money can go to my reef tank....

I'm a rider!

My curent bike is a 1984 Honda Shadow 700, I bought it for $775, and I've put about 34,000 miles on it since then. It replaced my old bike that got hit by a truck, much to my suprize.

The great thing about Phoenix is I can ride year round,.. it's just a little more pleasent during some parts of the year.

That's about right too! Especialy when your sitting in traffic over hot ashfault and the fan in the front of the bike comes on blowing the heat from the rad right in your face.

There are always a couple of bikers a year that succom to heat stroke or heat exaustion and pass out at stop lights.

Did someone say motorcycles....?
Day-in, day-out...eat, sleep, dream...motorcycles. I've lost count how many I have. Only one or two run...Ducati 748 at the moment. I sponsor the fastest people on two wheels though.

Whiskey · 12-03-2007, 04:49 PM
