Ha that’s great! Wish it was warmer here, my bikes are still in storage, but early yet, we had 2” of snow when I woke up today.
Yeah - I thought it was entertaining, another benefit to being a motorcyclist.Ha that’s great! Wish it was warmer here, my bikes are still in storage, but early yet, we had 2” of snow when I woke up today.
That's what I was wondering, only 50 days awayLeesburg bike fest is cancelled, I wonder if Myrtle beach will be too?
Personal experience: 1980 bought a 650 Kawasaki LTD, stopped riding in 1987 for various reasons. Started riding again in 2003, purchased a BMW and few more along the way. Kawasaki has sat since 1987. I used to use my MCs for commuting and I am now retired. That along with the 2019 Ram my riding has diminished dramatically. Not recommending one way or the other, just don't let it sit and die a slow death. You can always come back to riding and by then your riding preference may have changed. Wish you the best of luck. Wife and youngins also paint a different picture, which was part of my equation.2011 Ninja 1000. Torn between keeping and selling. Done several hundred in mods to it, and it's fast AF, but 2 youngins that go to daycare several times a week and 2 dogs that need trips during the week cut down on my riding time. This year will be when I decide. One of the main reasons I bought it was to cut down miles on my truck, but if I only get 500-1000 miles a year out of it I can use the cash elsewhere (like on the truck!).

Yeah I got my first bike shortly before my first son was born. I still managed to get out and ride a while, and then sold the first bike/bought the 1000 before my second son was born. The bike won't just sit, it'll either get ridden or sold. I love the bike, cause the Ninja 1000 is a "sport touring". 2.8 sec 0-60, but I can also ride from Memphis to Nashville with 1 stop and not feel like I need to lie on the couch the rest of the day (I'm only 32).Personal experience: 1980 bought a 650 Kawasaki LTD, stopped riding in 1987 for various reasons.

In July I will be 65. 2003 BMW K1200GT and RS, 2016 K1300S. Don't know the stats other than 125 and 175 hp. Doesn't matter much at this stage, way above my skill level, but I still forget my anatomy and interchange my brain with other reproducing body parts. The BMWs are also considered sport touring, very happy with body position although I had to make slight adjustment (raise the front) to the 1300S seat. I find a slight lean very comfortable particularly on my back. I usually stop and gas up at the 150 mile mark or so and that gives me a break from riding. The 1980 Kawasaki is on the "someday list" along with a few 1970 Triumph Bonnevilles. Happy motoring.Yeah I got my first bike shortly before my first son was born.
