Default Any motorcycle riders out there???

Who all rides a bike wether it be your DD or just for fun???

Reason I'm wondering is because I'm looking into buying my first bike this weekend and parking the truck because gas is killing me..

I can have a new bike payment, insurance, and gas and still save about $300 bucks a month.

This is what I'm wanting to get. Its a 08 vulcan 1600 mean streek



Post up some pics of yours!!

Used to have a "84" FJ600, "86" FZ750, "90" FZR1000. "99" R1, and now own this 1992 FZR1000.
Wanted a sport touring bike so I just got an older crotch rocket instead, more fun and pretty cheap. This pic is not the best. I am still removing the stupid stickers and it needs some TLC, new chain, sprokets and some new paint maybe if I feel like it.
150hp is enough for me.
My R1

I used to ride a Buell Blast. Little 400cc thing that could do pretty decent if my clutch didnt slip, haha. That left cuz I wanted something bigger and my dad wouldnt let me ride alone. Ride my mom's Sporster 883 sometimes with him when he had his bike and all. Lookin to get an R6 or GSXR6 so my truck wont kill me while Im in skool wish me luck

lol, those aren't tassles, they are my passenger emergency brakes. I actually use them in SF to tie the front brakes...
