Any motorcycle riders here?

I'm sure there are. I sold my Victory Vegas below years ago, but I've been thinking of getting another Victory or maybe a Harley Road King or Heritage Softail.

Yes, I’m a bike guy too. I ride just about everything. From vintage to exotic, dirt to street, cruiser to sport bike and everything in between , even scooters.

Hoss seemed like a pretty cool guy between the Z16 and the mini bike, lol.

I quit riding 13 years ago. Too many inattentive drivers out there. Felt like I had a bulls eye on my back. That's also when my brother almost died because a youngster came flying out of a parking lot, blowing through a stop sign, right in front of my brother, who was doing 35 in a 40 mph zone. Hit the car broad side and flipped over it. Good thing he was wearing a helmet. His helmet is on display at the OU trauma center as one that saved a live. He still has major issues physically.

Last month before I sold my last bike, I had to lock up the brakes twice from people turning left in front of me without signalling. Just not worth the risk to me. Respect your right to ride.

I only ride occasionally for these reasons and the many phone distracting drivers. Try to ride in rural areas w less traffic.

My Dad let me ride his Harleys when I was in my teens and twenties. Once I had kids, I quit riding because of the dangers of other drivers combined with the fact that I didn't think my once-in-a-while riding kept me sharp, skills-wise. I like riding, but not sure I'll go back once my youngest is 18 in a couple of years. A small convertible might be good enough for me. If some town were to declare itself motorcycle-only, I think they'd instantly become the new retirement Mecca for a lot of people, lol.
