Where I work we call them Donorcycles. Organ procurement centers love them.
Is that a Kawi Z1 on the left?? That'd be nice to toot around on..
I do generally try to discourage people from riding motorcycles... I had a lucky 30 years..I've seen lots of damage too though. Saying "be careful" isn't quite enough...even being careful you can be injured.Where I work we call them Donorcycles. Organ procurement centers love them.
It's always been the same percentage of drivers that were the problem; it's just that that with so many more total drivers, that percentage adds up - to way too many.
I got the Roughhouse with the idea that my son could ride it the 3 miles to the fast food place he works when both cars are taken for adult job purposes. He didn't venture out that way beyond the close neighborhood for the first month we owned it. I had him riding around the block and a littler bit farther and farther each week until I followed him in the car on a tour of the city and downtown. Only after that did he ride solo to work and back.Motorcycles are the most counter intuitive machine there is when it comes to riding through a hairy situation.
My recommendation for new riders is to get a small dirt bike and don't even think about a street bike until you have crashed in the dirt 100 times.
Until it doesn'tI mean..I try not to criticize..if they've been riding a while, it's working for them!
Talk about thread drift....
Curious why a Harley?
Really depends what you want to do. I'd only ride a Sportster personally but I'm coming from a sport bike background. Iron 883 or 1200 maybe. But if you want to do long tours probably not the best. You set on a Harley?
I can relate. I don't think my back or my knees could take long rides on anthing "nimble and sporty" these days. A hog is way more relaxing to cruise around on. I guess that doesn't rule out other brands of cruisers but if going that way, might as well go for the iconic one..I definitely am all in on a Harley. I like the Sportsters but at 6-4 235-40 I’m a little big for those imo,
Yeah that's a fruitless argument... If you haven't ridden one..
It's not about the engineering. Missing the entire point..That's your assumption.
You'd be wrong.
Other than cheap Chinese bikes they're the worst engineered bikes currently on sale.
