We each have Yamaha V-Star 1100's. I love riding and since we are in Florida we can ride year-round.

The Bandit isn't so bad for long rides, but the FZR stinks. They are a ton of fun, but if you are going far plan on having a sore butt. I'm dying to get back out and do another track day but they are not cheap. I tell people to just take up smoking crack. It's cheaper than doing track days.
I would NOT go far on one of those bikes .. lol. I have "sore butt" sydrome just riding on someone else's bike .. I'm "cruiser spoiled" .. lol

He gets bikes all the time that don't run, in trade for work on other bikes, or because the owner doesn't want to foot the bill for the repairs (or the diagnostics he's already done). Some he trades for other broken bikes, or for parts. But after working 8-10hrs a day in a giant metal warehouse with no A/C, last thing he wants to do is work on MORE bikes when he gets home.
He's starting to edge into cars tho... which is worrying, because now we've got 3 cars that don't run (2 mercedes, 1 VW rabbit pickup). I did make sure that the house I bought had a 2000sf garage just for him. Told him he can put whatever he wants in it, as long as it doesn't prevent access to the plumbing/elec.
LOL .. THAT was smart thinking!

Does this count as being a "biker"? I feel like one when I'm riding! I may not LOOK like one, but make no mistake, Bella Rosa (my bike) is made for riding!
If the weather is favorable this week, we'll be doing a couple of good night rides. Hubby and I both have one (his is sportier).
At the very least, I'm a pseudo-biker.
