Thanks! Yes, I've always loved motorcy...Nothingman! Thanks! Yes, I've always loved motorcycles (much to my family's dismay).<BR/><BR/>Jay! A helmet indeed! With a face shield, and goggles. (o.k. and do-rag underneath, are you satisfied now?)<BR/><BR/>Further! I don't need to talk to any other bikers, I always get into trouble when I do that--lol j/k.<BR/><BR/>Totally... this bike, I just enjoy cruising and relaxing, very grounding to me. I am not interested in racing, although I am told that my 1100 might be able to take Richie's 1300 off the line. However, he'd eventually pass me. :)<BR/><BR/>Love this bike.<BR/><BR/>Kenski! Catch the BUG!!! YES!! I hope I have infected some folks with the biking bug, but just be very careful! It should be a joy ride, doesn't have to be a demolition derby. Have fun! Life is too friggin short!<BR/><BR/>Tink! Cool! Thanks for popping in and letting me know. Tell Hoop to slow down and just enjoy the ride. :)<BR/><BR/>BBC! That sounds really nice! I'm glad you had a good weekend camping!<BR/><BR/>Reb! Yes indeedy. I got some rain gear, but will probably not ride the rain for a bit until I'm back comfortable. The windshields, i'm told help with that some too.<BR/><BR/>Nice day all! -AJAunt Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03364110885032142748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33517068.post-74118266194091281252008-07-22T15:07:00.000-03:002008-07-22T15:07:00.000-03:00Oh, it has been so long since I was on a bike!

If you don't already have one, a full face helmet is great....getting caught in rain is like having little tiny needles driven into your face repeatedly (and it was just a gentle rain once we stopped).Rebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05318594769530526005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33517068.post-44871566164926720372008-07-22T12:05:00.000-03:002008-07-22T12:05:00.000-03:00I had a wonderful relaxing weekend partying with C...I had a wonderful relaxing weekend partying with Cher and Rob while camping in their backyard.

I swear all of my gray hairs are from him. <BR/><BR/>P.S. The WWC is just extended a week from last Tuesday. I'll have new words up today though.

My Dad's in his 70's and still rides an 800cc sports bike. Back in the day he'd drive me to school from time to time on tha back of the 950 he had back then.<BR/><BR/>We recently got a pair of matching Vespa 125s and they're great for getting around the city. Even the crotch rockets can't keep up between the lights when challenged by a twist and go. 0-20 they're the fastest thing away from the lights. Actually, that's not true. We were just beaten by one of the big-engined Bentleys, but as he got his nose in front he had to brake to avoid ploughing into the line of stationary traffic in front of him. We sailed past and left him for dust.<BR/><BR/>Back in the day we had a Corvette Z06, which I thought was the most fun you could have on 4 wheels. Now I'm thinking the most fun may be to split the 4 wheels in half and ride 2x2.<BR/><BR/>Maybe one day we'll do the trans-America coast-to-coast ride that my Dad always talked about wanting to do. If we do, though, it wouldn't be on a Vespa!!!!Ken Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02970490152285414561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33517068.post-12281754154454143242008-07-22T05:04:00.000-03:002008-07-22T05:04:00.000-03:00You need to talk to an English biker... they are a...You need to talk to an English biker... they are all sportsbikes, full face helmets and nothing resembling a windshield unless you can croutch like a cat... and they still go past me at over 100mph on the motorways.<BR/><BR/>I think I could get into USA biking, slower, more upright, more comfort, more time, less hurry.... less f***ing accident looking for some traffic furniture to wrap itself around. A local biker died near my house the other week, on a 30mph town street he hit a lamp post, the police think he was doing about 90mph. I heard it and he was roaring like a nutter as he went past our road so I wouldn't disagree with their estimate. His swerve to miss a pedal cyclist he'd not seen meant he missed them but the bike then kicked him off and he killed himself. Sad.<BR/><BR/>So - be safe please...Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33517068.post-83943243306168683842008-07-22T00:27:00.000-03:002008-07-22T00:27:00.000-03:00Do you wear a helmet when you ride?
