The Eternal Thread - Why me?

[Northern Dominus]

Uh huh. Well maybe if you offered to buy her a moto of her own as well...

Riiight.

In here defense, she doesn't like them and is afraid of them. One of here earlier boyfriends died in a motorcycle accident.

Aw, well at least that's understandable.
Still, maybe when the weather is nicer and you're just driving by a dealership...

Or you could fib and say that you've been riding since you were a teeanger, like me

[Saruhan]

Staying with the family for the week and my sisters mad at me because I didn't say hello to her boyfriend when he came over. I was trying to give them some space. -__-

Then just explain yourself

[Dyakovo]

I can't wait to get home yo my guitar. So much fun.

I can't wait to get home to my wife... Unfortunately that's not gonna happen for about a week...

[New England and The Maritimes]

If I had a wife I wouldn't want to leave her either.

Sorry about that, Bro. Just think about how great it will be when you do.

I bought my first bike when I was 16.

See there you go, historical precedent.
So what was your first bike anyway?

Sorry.

[Big Jim P]

w00000t!

No OT tomorrow!

What did you do to deserve a little rest and relaxation?

Damned if I know. It was a toss-up: If I worked, I would have made 32 hours worth of pay, but the time off is just as nice.

1981 Honda CM400E. Reppy has a slightly newer 450 version. Wait a sec and I'll post a pic of Reppys bike.

Edit: Here it is:

Edit: Here it is:

That looks suspiciously like Dread Lady Nathica's ride....

Anyway, my first was also a Honda, 1989 CBR 250

Not the actual bike, but close enough.

I am pretty sure it was Reppy I talked bike with (I stole the pic from here).

The CBR is a nice bike, but I am not too into sport bikes myself.

It looks like Nathi's bike though... I know Nathi has a bike, I don't know if Reppy has one...

[Birkinghamia]

Ah.

And it's pjd1223445.

Get Napoleon.

I will if I have enough money

I may have confused Reppy and Nathi, so it could be. When one or the other show up, I'll ask.

Edit: Roan just confirmed it is the Dread ladies bike. My bad.

If I had the money, I would get a Suzuki T1000R. It didn't sell well because of the reputation of the T1000S for locking up on turns and killing people, but it had fixed all of those problems.

Mine would be either a Harley Davidson Electra Glide Sport (suitably cusomized) or a BMW R100RT

The CBRs are in general nice.

Mine however wasn't, at least at the start. It had some serious carb problems and wasn't exactly a model of reliability.

Still when it did work, like all first bikes it was epic. Not the quickest thing in the world but super-maneuverable, perfect for carving up the North Shore ravines. And a better chick magnet than the candy-coated boy racers which ere all the rage at the time thanks to the Fast and the Furious.

Questions: Are you in the States and is that a four cylinder? I am horribly out of date, especially where sport bikes are concerned. the last I knew, the really high-tech 250 four cylinders were not imported into the States.

Go for the BMW. My K75 is pretty reliable, plenty powerful... it's just an awesome bike.

Plus you won't be mistaken for a massive douche if you ride a BMW either. Both the sporbike and chromed-out cruiser crowds share that burden equally.

V Twin superbikes are always a hoot. Plenty of punch from the v-twin torque band and little weight makes for a fun ride.

If you like the 1000R you might want to check out the Honda RC51, lots of raves for that series.

Yes, and yes. According to the previous owner it was a "grey market" import from Canada, and he had the paperwork to back it up.

The insurance companies only ever had the CB250 "Nighthawk" on their records so it kept getting classed as such. Bear in mind unfortunately that bike was totaled in 2005 down in Florida thanks to some idiot pulling out in front of me.

I couldn't afford the insurance on a bike anyway, and the proper safety equipment would be a nightmare to wear in the summer. Plus, I live in Florida where your bike got totaled. You know how people drive down here.

Sorry about the idiot driver. I hope you didn't get hurt too bad. However, the bike being classed as a nighthawk probably saved you quite a bit on insurance.

Shit, yeah you're right.

Plus there aren't very many "great" riding roads around there either. There are a few by Daytona, and there's one that goes through Ocala that's fun but other than that, meh really.

Too many geezers that can't drive and too many younger folks trying to avoid them?
