    My sig line from a bike forum...

    The best way to convert gasoline to noise, without the annoying byproduct of horsepower, is to burn it in a Harley.
    It's purely a joke though. Harleys in general aren;t for me though a few of te more recent ones are nice..

    Personally I just LOVE the look of the new Indians shortly being released and would have one in a heartbeat. Could spend days just sitting and staring, taking in that lovely engine....

    Meanwhile I content myself with my Suzuki GSX1400 and Honda CX500 project....

    I gave up on bikes many years ago. Every time I got out in traffic I felt someone tried to kill me.

    Sorry Tombie but I'm with others in the ATTGATT philosophy. Research shows that over 1/2 of motorcycle accidents occur in towns on short trips.

    It's a bit of a moot argument though.


    For me - I'm pretty much ATGATT.
    But, like almost every other activity under the sun, in my opinion as long as you aren't hurting anyone ELSE - go for it Tiger !

    Individual responsibility not government intervention please.

    That is true...

    I work on the fact I'm not capital city based, so my greatest risk is generally me.

    Our traffic density here is pretty light on - reducing interaction risk, and the roads are pretty good, combined with regular travel on same routes giving insight to issues.

    In this place, almost 50% of people ride bikes so are very rider aware which helps!

    So ATGSOTT it is

    Also a ATGATT sort of chap. Working in hospital for 38 years, I have seen LOTS of road rash. Used to ride 300 days out of the year (unless it snowed).

    Vlad- CX500. Bought when they first came out. Great little bike. Lots of miles, lots of road trips.

    Not much biking now. Two divorces. Forced retirement. Not enough extra money. Have to keep P38 on the road!
