I guess it's because they finally have the money and time to spend on a hobby, and biking is something that occurs to them, for a sense of "freedom". Personally I prefer mountain biking to motor biking though.

the only thing re: leather chaps (for me) was they didn't keep my nuts warm. cold nuts man, that'll catch up to ya down the road.

If you've never ridden a motorcycle you can't imagine. Once you're skilled enough where you can ride without being terrified, it is truly amazing. A pain in the dick sometimes, but amazing. The wind can be really cold, and there are bugs, so leather helps. If you ride a lot you will have a get-off, so the boots and leather help again. Probably, when you're 40 or above you have enough rank at your job, or your biz is successful enough were you're not someone's bitch all day. So you can take some trips.
That said I haven't ridden in 15 years. |

i never rode without leather gloves but often rode without leather pants or jacket. people are also making a statement with their clothing choices. but a motorcycle vest is very much a safety item ricers wear these all the time around here whilst doing wheelies down the freeway. http://www.jspowersports.com/ebay/ic...-pink-back.jpg |

well, i guess you'd have to have a support van to carry your gear too, if you're gonna use that moto for highway traveling.

I think the dirt bike looking one is more of a dork thing than a Euro thing. When I think 'Euro', I think Moto Guzzi or Ducati not Yamaha.

I dont understand why people have to talk other brands Down. Its about riding and having fun. If you feel you have more fun on a HD than a Husaberg or Kawasaki - then buy a HD.

I guess my main complaint with any British motor vehicle is Lucas Electrics, but the Lord of Darkness may not even be a factor anymore. Back in those days, the Norton 750 Commando would have been one of my favorite bikes. If I was to buy that style bike these days I would probably lean towards a Buell or Ducati. |
if i were in the market for a bike these days i'd go straight to the new scrambler:

This thread is about why all bikers are 100% homos. Not which shitty bikes you all drive.

Oddly enough the mountain bike guys don't seem to dress up in their favorite costume but they do have $3k bikes. The guys with dirt bikes are even worse. I've never seen a place before that riding a dirt bike required having the full fledge moto cross outfit down to the matching boots and helmets of their fav team.. it's as bad as Nascar rednecks wearing Tide jackets.. |

Protective gear is full leathers or a slide suit with a full face helmet, but of course wearing that doesn't look cool am I right? Keep pretending though.. |

Now back to the initial topic: I used to ride a bike in France (a Japanese one). We had a lot of fun riding it with my wife and believe me, it's the only practical way to drive around Paris (you can ride between lanes there). Then we had kids and I kept riding to the office and back but my wife would no longer ride with me. Finally, I moved to Canada and the fuckin SAAQ (Quebec driving licences and vehicle registrations) doesn't recognize foreign bike driving licences, you can't ride between lanes and you are fucked 50% of the year so I gave up on it. |

Now, think about cockett. He is really gay, but because he is so fucking stupid I don't call him out on it because I don't want people to associate his stupidity with the GLBT movement. |

If I rode a bike, I sure as hell wouldn't ride than dirt bike one that looks so girly. I would rather cruise riding a chopper. Something like this below. Nothing says badass than a custom chopper.
