Way toooooooooooo funny for I'm seriously thinking about getting one myself and hell I'm 50 I could careless why some would think the reason for one to ride a bike. I assure you they don't get them due to what others think but due to what they want themselves.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and I'm not a guy!!

So more power to those that ride and enjoy what they do.....

Have you seen the ones holding the giant fish they just caught???
"look mommy, what I just got"
geeze.....I much prefer the motorcycles.

Not something we should be proud of...I am just as guilty for screwing with the square peg....

Note to self..in the future....be more lenient with the ignorant......

If I see one more motorcycle...I think I will puke. Do guys think motorcycles impress females? And seriously, if you are over 30 years old...ditch it. It makes you look like you are having a mid life crisis.

I can't agree with more darling,thier're all jerks

here they come ready or not

Ohhhhh, this is a combustible topic. I don't care, I'll voice my opinion anyway.

I can fully appreciate anyone that enjoys riding a motorcycle. I owned one for several years. As a matter of fact, I still have a valid motorcycle license, even though I haven't been on a bike in years. I fully enjoyed riding my motorcycle. Years ago, I even rode one professionally.

Even though I really tried to be the safest motorcyclist on the highway that I could be, one day, I just came to the conclusion that riding a motorcyle on a public highway, while enjoyable, was too dangerous and was not worth the risk. That is really saying something, coming from someone that is required to be armed 24/7 and is a nationally licensed race car driver. My life was really not lacking in excitement, adrenaline rushes, or danger. I ended up selling my bike and haven't ridden one since. As the volume of vehicles on the highways increases, the dangers for a motorcyclist increases exponentially.

I was not lacking in confidence in my bike riding skills. I was concerned about the driving ability of people that I had to share the highway with. I have taught high performance driving techniques in many different venues for a couple of decades, so I have a very good idea of the driving ability of the motoring public. Knowing what I know, scares the crap out of me.

I really think that everyone should be required to take some advanced driver training. You certainly don't have to be able to demonstrate that you know how to drive to get a driver's license. I prefer to call it a parking license. You just have to be able to stop at a stop sign, turn on your turn signals, and parallel park in a half hour or so. Heck, they even give the test in a parking lot. As soon as you do that, and they issue you that little piece of paper, you will be hurtling down the highway at over 70 mph, while calling your friends on your cell phone, telling them you just got your license, and not knowing a dang thing about what you are doing. And unfortuanatly, you may be on the same highway as me.

Most people are completely ignorant of the most basic things about car control. They can't tell you if their car is front wheel drive or rear wheel drive, and they can't tell you the handling differences between the two. Most don't know if they have anti-lock brakes or not and don't know how to operate them or how or why they work. They are just fat, dumb, and happy and going down the road as fast as they can go, while talking on the cell phone, texting, dancing to music on the radio, reading, or putting on their makeup. They don't care that they are driving a two or three ton weapon down the road, with no idea of how to control it, until they encounter an emergency situation. In that split second, they panic and totally screw up in a huge manner.

I have found that the people that believe they are greatest drivers and drive the fastest on the highway, are usually some of the absolute worst drivers when their skills are put to the test. When these people are tested and evaluated and their lack of skills surface, I love to hear the excuses. If you find that you are most often one of the fastest moving vehicles on the highway, you probably fit into this category. Sorry, it is just a fact. It just works out that the ones that don't know anything about controlling a car, feel completely safe going much faster than what their skills should allow.

I also love to watch four wheel drive owners in the winter. They blow their horns and pass all of those idiots in regular cars out in the snow. They have got four wheel drive and they can go in anything. And, they are glad to get out there at the first sign of snow accumulation and show everybody what their 4X4 can do. Not a winter goes by, that I don't see one of these four wheel drive vehicles parked in a tree (I mean UP in a tree, how did they get up there?), or into a pole, or stuck on a guardrail or over in a ravine. While it is true that their four wheel drive vehicle will go in snow like gangbusters, I guess they forgot to think about the fact that their brakes are no different than any other non-four wheel dive car. They get so acclimated to going, that they forget they will eventually need to stop. Need to stop NOW! Whooooopsi!

I did get a little off the topic of riding motorcycles, but it is relevent to the decision that I made not to ride one.

I really don't like crotch rockets at all. The riding position is unnatural and the only reason that someone would want to be in the up, push-up position for a few hours, would be that they want to speed around the public highways at 180 mph or so. I have never seen a crotch rocket owner that didn't drive it in that fashion and that is insane and they really should be removed from our gene pool. The way they drive, sooner or later, they will be. I am not against speed. I love it. And, I am very good at it. There is just a proper time and place for it. It doesn't belong on the public highway. I also don't care for biker bars or biker gangs.

I have several friends and relatives that have motorcycles. I hope they have fun and have many safe rides. It is just not for me, anymore.

enjoy the ride

WEll, I just bought my Harley yesterday and it was delivered this afternoon.. I grew up riding and had my first one at 14.. Dad raced cars and motorcycles so it was a natural thing for me.. I enjoy it and will do so until I am not able anymore...

Congratulations
