Any one else ride? I ride to work every day on mine. Ton of fun, some what hazardous! (Other crazy drivers.)

    I'm often just a passenger - either on my bestie's bike or a couple of super trusted friends.
    I've never gotten on a bike with someone who I didn't know really really well. lol

    Oh man. I got on a moped once (cuz those things are pretty much bicycle replacements here in China—literally, an 8yo could be riding one out on the chaotic roads and no one would think it out of place =.=")... It scared the life out of me. Me and (any type of) -cycles simply just don't get along. Yeah, let's talk about bicycles. So far in my life, there has never been a single bike ride I have had (forced to ofc) that never involved some kind of could-have-been-deadly-without-luck experience. Suffice to say, I don't intend on touching another bicycle (or any -cycle for that matter) for the rest of my life.

    Yeahhh I haven't ridden a bicycle in ages let alone a motorcycle. After I crashed my bicycle and myself into a bush I don't think I could ever be trusted using a motorcycle xD

    At least it was just a bush... that didn't hang over a bloody cliff. ;~; Why are bicycles so traumatising?

    I got a flat tire when I went for a ride on my bicycle last Sunday because I live not far from the sketchy side of town and ended up riding through it and couldn't avoid all the broken beer bottles on the bike path.  I have those real skinny street tires.  I think my next bike will have these XD : https://gearjunkie.com/legacy/images/7815.jpg

    Anyway.... to answer your question, no I don't have a motorcycle, but I'd like to get one some day.

    Those are some big tires Nebbers. I always wondered how one of those would handle.

    I bike to school everyday, but man do I wish I had a motorcycle. Hong Kong has bicycle trails everywhere, and they're all relatively nice. If you have the time you can bike anywhere really.

    I'm on the motorcycle year-round. Here's my ride, the Honda PC800 - best picture I've taken of it so far, ironically. I came out of the mosque and found the kids sitting on it, and they sure were happy to throttle the engine after I started it for them :P

    Got a new bike. Something smaller for the new job in town. It’s ok to laugh. It’s the Honda GROM!
