My FJR post didn't work out so well, so I was wondering how many people ride in general?

How many are simply around the town riders and how many like to tour?

Do we have any die hard Harley fans or any die hard metric fans and if so why? Justify yourself!

 

I don't but a guy got killed in town yesterday. He ran into another motorcycle.

 

Millions, I'm sure!!

But I'd love to have a motorcycle some day. I used to ride on my dad's Honda 90 trail bike, and that was always fun. I'd like to get a little trail bike to go around on when we go camping...

But I'd also like to get a Harley Sportster some day, or maybe a Triumph...

 

I ride a bike... but it's not really sufficient for touring. Once in awhile though, I'll take it out and cruise a couple of hundred miles.

 

How many people ride motorcyles?
Usually no more than two.
I rode for about seven years. I had three 40 inch (650cc) bikes, a Triumph T110, a Triumph Boneville(sp), and a BSA Rocket. I had a 500cc BSA Gold Star single. The only Harley I had was a 61 inch knucklehead springer chopper. My favorite was the Triumph B which was full race with 2 carbs, a one gallon tank, a Bates racing seat and a high 2 into 1 exhaust. It weighted just over 300lbs, was fast for the time and was an excellent field trials bike. During that time, I was in some event almost every week .... a poker run, a rocket run, a riddle run, field trials, drags, a powder run, tag, hill climbs .... It was alot of fun, but I finally quit. I never wanted to just ride from point A to point B.

Good morning dono.

 

2003 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX-1300R

Very, very fast !

 

I just have an older 500 cc Enduro, that I ride to work ( when it's nice ) or around town in the summer. Then I throw it in the back of my truck when hunting season comes around. I would'nt go touring with it but then that's not why I bought it

 

WR 250 & XLR 650 R, not using either very much the last few years.

Have pretty much given up serious street riding as I liken it to flying unarmed into enemy territory.

 

My present bike doesn't get used nearly as much as the previous one. In the '90s I would generally take at least 1 or 2 trips a years of 1000 miles or more. The longest was from Buffalo, NY to northern British Columbia (5500 miles in 2 weeks).

Morning, Mike. I am finishing my morning ritual: (1) Get up (whenever I feel like it); get paper; eat breakfast; read obituaries; if I am not listed, check out FTE.

'89 Honda NX650 enduro (also called a "Dominator" in Aus) - hardly ride anymore, but still do from time to time - last time I trailered it Upstate I dislocated my shoulder after getting launched over the handlebars

Never "tour", hardly ever went more than 35 miles in one sitting (rough on the gluteus) - lots of off-road with it though. Loads of fun ...

Since it's an Enduro, I HAVE used it some to commute to work and general on-road driving.

EDIT: but not in the last year or so...

 

I have a '01 GSXR1000. I put anywhere from 3000 to 6000 miles a year on it.
