Who Likes Motorcycles?

[Crimson323]

I don't know much about them. However I work for a company here in So. Indiana that sells Motorcycle, ATV, Dirtbike, and Jet Ski's (whole, parts, and accessories). I'm not going to name the company, otherwise it my be considered spamming. However, I am in the internet sales division (invoice, packing, shipping).


Just interested, but is anyone here a motorcycle fanatic, or do you know anything about motorcycles?

I have a nice curiser that I drive around town. It is only a 250cc and really not big enough to take on the road.

In college at Bama I had a Honda 500 cc and a Honday 175 street trail bike. I loved them but is was back in the early 1980's. Since I have moved to Los Angeles but every year at around this time I get that feeling in my gut about biking, the weather is great and I want to hit the open road on a bike. I love dirt biking (my parents moved outside to T-town when I was a kid and bought me a Honda 50 when I was a little tike and I would ride the trails on our 2 acres).

I would love a Harley which a friend had one a few years ago.

I will be buying a bike this year or 2008 since my home is situated now and other things taken care of but I do miss Alabama where I could go dirt biking cause I can't do it in LA. I would love to have a XR 400 Honda for that.

The bike I will buy will be a street bike and one that I can travel to Northern Cal and Wyoming/Idaho, AZ etc a travel bike. Bikes have been in my blood since I was a kid in Bama and will never leave my nature.

I think people can and should do (to a certain extent) what they want. However, I work for the Social Security Administration and I can't tell you the number of times I either took claims for disability for people that had horrible accidents on them that turned them into talking monkeys for the rest of their lives OR survivors claims where the person on the bike was killed.

They're dangerous and I've seen too many people maimed or killed to ever own one and yes, I've ridden them before a few times.

Plus, many life insurance policies won't pay if you are killed on one, unless you have a rider on the life insurance policy itself. I've seen that too, where the person was killed and because it was on a motorcycle, the guy's wife got ZERO in the life insurance because of it.

As I said, people should do what they want but it ain't for me.
