Does anyone here ride motorcycles?!?

If your topic has nothing to do with Spyderco, you can post it here.

haha, I'm sorry. I don't know if I could ride in that kind of cold. I am currently riding, but again, I'm in Orange County, California. It's pretty cold at night.. but probably nothing compared to those colder states! :cool:

I love the white. What a beauty. Do you just go cruise around once in a while? Do you ride solo or with a group of guys?

I ride year round, for commuting, touring, and pleasure. It seems to always make me smile, even going to or coming from work. I've been riding for years usually putting at least 20k on each year. I like all types of riding, street, dirt, ice, slow and fast. Ride safe and remember, everyone is out to get you!

I ride to work and take alot of weekend road trips with my dad and a few buddies of ours . There is nothing better than when April rolls around and you take the bike out for the first ride of the season! It's gonna be a long winter, I'll have to just buy more spydies to keep my mind off riding.

I've got a 2000 BMW R1150gs. World famous big azz
enduro. Used about 75% street/25% dirt-off road. I mostly
stay on fire roads and trails though. It is nice though when
you see a dirt road off of a rural highway and wonder
"where does that go?". Been riding her for 11 years now,
great bike.

The job I have had the last 7 years supplies me with company
truck that I have to use. :( So I'm mostly a weekend warrior now.
Went Riding today though, 72 degrees in SE AZ.

My wife and I both ride. We added a second bike this summer so we can ride together(she's not the hang on back type). So we have a 1996 Suzuki Savage and the "new" bike is a 1978 Honda CX500. The CX is as old as me, but I love it. I actually rode on Christmas day, which is a real rarity in NE Ohio. We both commute on them when the weather permits.

I can't get a bike until I move out from my parents house, however! I want a Honda Shadow, Suzuki Boulevard or a Kawasaki Vulcan someday

Wow, I like the deversity in rides I see here. Beautiful bikes all. I"m drawn to the oddities, so nice choices in the Agusta, the Transalp, and the CX.
