I ride a honda VTX 1800 retro. Just had it painted when I got back from Daytona during bike week. I love motorcycles. I ride every chance I get.

I think the only thing bigger is the 2000cc M-109. I love the shaft drive over chain or belt drive. I am 6' 5" and 260, The whole bike lifts straight up and leaps from the red lights. I will have to get some pictures of it.

I will tell you this, there is no better way to tour the french quarter or bourbon street than on a motorcycle.

We park right on the corner of bourbon street at a biker bar called Johnny Whites. I think the Cat's meow has a webcam that looks right on that intersection. We usually go there on wednesday nights and saints home games.

I know that intersection, when I get bored, I watch the webcam. Unless it's down, which it seems to be quite often :/

When I visited New Orleans, I stayed on the corner of Barracks and Decatur.
I loved that place, I hope to visit again real soon.

Ya'll can call me by my name "Kyle" if you want.I would actually prefer it. I never thought I would be chatting on a site when I made that log in name. I really wish I could change it,but oh well.

And I do love the bikes. I hate the helmet laws. I find riding clears your head and helps me relieve stress. There is nothing like it.
