Any 2 Wheel Lovers on the forums

[OneJArpus]

I just got my license and a bike and was wondering if there are any other avid 2 wheel lovers on the forums.



This is my first bike, i'm loving every minute i'm on it. Riding is so much fun!!!!!!


2010 Kawasaki Ninja 250R - $3,300 purchase price with 1,500 miles

1984 honda nighthawk 750s

I'm a vintage bike guy myself. I have 5 bikes, the newest one is a 1981. This is my main ride in action.

1978 Suzuki GS1000E with lots of mods.

I would be, but we don't have any tracks around here, and I've nearly been run over in a CAR on more than one occasion, so... I'll leave the fun to you guys.

I've almost been run over walking doesn't mean i'll stop walking... just means i'll pay more attention...

I just love the 2 wheelers. I daily mine since the supra's always broke.

Got a ninja 500 last winter. I've only put ~1200 miles in it so I'm still a complete rookie.

The bike speed is fun, but I'm such a Nancy I find the supra much more comfortable and plenty fast. A 45 minute commute isn't fun in full gear in 100 degrees.

Eventually id like a faster 600-750, but we will see. I'm also paranoid of getting rear ended by a semi or something every time I'm on the bike.

When you're walking, you're not 15' x 6' x 4' and 80 decibels are you? I pay attention to my own driving (hence why it was a "nearly" situation), but on a bike, you're a much smaller target, and people generally just don't care what is in the lane next to them before changing over. :nono:

Crisp on the forums here is a HUGE bike fan. I've personally seen his bikes and man, those things are AMAZING! I'm sure he will pop into this thread eventually.

Do dirt bikes count? Since i sold my road bike i now ride a kx250 2007, last of the KX two strokes.
Having kids seems to make me a little more on the cautious side when i ride lately but i still manage to get a smile from it and covered in mud.

Been on two wheels since i was nine. Current dirt bike is a 2006 crf 250. I have a 1998 suzuki marauder thats torn apart due to an out of circle/and tapered cylinder. Current ride is a suzuki boulevard. But it isnt that smooth, so i want to get rid of it and find a triumph daytona 675

Whatever you ride, if you want something stupidly fast, shoot me a PM. Guy that did my head is a good friend of mine, and he has a certain way of making things of the two wheeled/atv nature into monsters.

I have a 2009 Yamaha FZ6 and I love that bike. I've put 30,000 miles on it in a year. Several cross country trips that were absolutely awesome. Though at this point I'm pretty sure I can be certified insane for doing my daily commute on it here in southern Cali. Traffic is fast, dense, and unpredictable.

Ride up, ride safe, and trust no one.

Nah I don't want a bike too fast. I'm perfectly fine with having a car faster than my bike I want a sport bike to carve the Utah canyons, not to race.

Words to live by.

No worries man. I'm a little jealous of your canyons. About the closest thing to a canyon around here is 191 south to Vernal. It is an alright road though. I worry though, what do you guys do when you come up on the bits of gravel/sand on canyon roads? About scared the piss out of me when that happened to me on a twisty and narrow two lane road in eastern Phoenix... and that was in a car.

Always figured I would have laid the bike down if I were on a bike...

Not really, though luck does have it's place in motorcycling, the key to safe riding is situational awareness. When I ride I never ride at more than 90% of my abilities so that I always have more on tap to escape a potentially hairy experience. I also keep a very keen eye on everything going on around me and have multiple escapes planned and ready.

Pray, white knuckle it, and pucker so hard your butthole kisses your seat. It happens to me all the time on the dirt bike but on a big heavy road bike its a whole other game. I try and just find a path with less gravel. One of the best curvy roads around is big cottonwood canyon. A bikers dream. But its so travled if never experienced washouts on it.

'92 FZR600R Vance & Hines special edition!!

Had a 07 gsxr 600 couple years ago. Lots of fun lots of trouble and lots of speed. Hence the trouble. But people in SoCal are idiots when it comes to driving.
