    Coast to coast in 48 1/2 hours

    I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your report. It has been an inspiration for me to quit talking about it and just do it. Now to find the time and money......

    Coast to coast in 48 1/2 hours

    Thanks to some help, here is the photo I was trying to post. Now, let's get back to the great ride report. Gary, I am really enjoying your story. It is a trip I have really been wanting to do, although I had planned to do it in the opposite way, meaning, since I too live in Florida, I would...

    It's not just kids on crotch rockets who get tickets https://www.flickr.com/photos/69224521@N00/9373224793/ Not me by the way. And I'd post the photo directly if I knew how.

    Cycle World Comparo

    I enjoy reading motorcycle magazines for entertainment. I like to read about bikes I don't own and I like to read about rides people have taken. I have learned to take their opinions of bikes with a grain of salt, however. Several years back one of the magazines, I am pretty sure it was Cycle...

    Coast to coast in 48 1/2 hours

    Can't wait to read more. I had a CC50 planned last year and job circumstances changed and I wasn't able to go. I am afraid that by the time I can take enough time off to do it, I'll be too old. But your story gives me hope that I too will one day be able to undertake this adventure. I'm really...

    Ducati 696 Monster

    I have a 696 in my garage as well. It is actually my son's, but he is away at college and he actually told me to ride it. So I do. It is a fun, nice handling, light bike. It is too new to speak to reliability, but so far so good. I find it shifts nicely. Many people complain about the...

    Most comfortable sportbike?

    Well, you guys have pretty much convinced me a true sportbike is not what I really want. Unless I can get it to a track anyway. I kind of knew that already, I just don't like admitting it to myself. So, while you guys may think I'm crazy, this is what I am leaning towards now...

    Most comfortable sportbike?

    Wow, there don't seem to be any shortage of options if you're not looking at at true sportbike. I guess I don't really consider the Hayabusa and ZX-14 to be true sportbikes, in the mold of the 600cc and liter bikes. I was really wondering if their was any appreciable difference in comfort in...

    Most comfortable sportbike?

    Thanks guys. Its funny, everyone's take on comfort is so different. Having not ridden a sport bike other than a couple of short rides of demo bikes, I am not sure what kind of endurance I would have on one. I know there are things that allow them to be made at least some more comfortable, but...

    My Fire Captain was Killed on his Motorcycle last Night

    Very sad news. My condolences to all.

    Most comfortable sportbike?

    This may be a crazy question, or at least an unanswerable one, but I am curious. I currently ride a cruiser, but I often want something sportier. Something like an FZ1 may be the best bike for me, but I have seen several articles about people using sport bikes for touring. So...I was...

    With great regret I am hanging up my boots

    I haven't been to this board in months, but here I am tonight, and this is the thread I clicked on. It kind of touched a chord with me, as three weeks ago I wrecked my bike. It was my first wreck ever on the street. I am not completely sure what happened to cause the accident, but I have no...

    It was painful just reading about your accident. It is good you still have your sense of humor, or your pain meds. I wish you a speedy and full recovery. Thanks for the reminder about how quickly things can go bad.

    Confessions of a Harley Rider

    A few weeks ago Buell had a demo day at my local HD dealership. I did my best to ride pretty much every Buell they had. I saved the Firebolt for my last ride, though, as I didn't think I would like it at all. High pegs. Clip on handlebars. I am 44 years old and ride a Harley for goodness...
