Yeah, if you look up my avatar, you will see I ride a 600. Insanity on two wheels is just not smart. Cute...not smart. Dang!

I'd like to ride it. I have owned a few dozen bikes over the years. The last two were Harley Touring bikes. I only had about 110 HP on one that I had built the engine on.

I biked for about 20 years. Back in 1980s, I test drove a Honda CBX. It was a 1047cc inline six-cylinder engine. Much-too-much for this fellow. I finally got its sibling, the Honda CB900F. Very smooth-riding machine. It was perfect for me, and my wife and I enjoyed our trips on the Kansas country roads.

Ditto PT7, I rode my sons VTR 1000 once. Not for me. Wow, what a machine. I always liked that 900 tho. Great bike.

I once owned a Rocket 3 a 2005 model. It had issues with high idling and I could never get it fixed. Dealer here is a joke. My boss has several of the newer models one has a turbo on it. Ive ridden it and its fast. 225 HP. Its been on the dyno. He showed me a picture of this new model. I don't care for the looks of it to much. I now ride a F6B Goldwing and its without a doubt the best bike I have ever had.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

My last bike was a heavily customized Victory Kingpin; it gathered a crowd everywhere I went. I've been looking at Triumph's again; I've always liked them, but a Bonneville is more my speed these days. It just pisses me off that all the new bikes come with computerized ride modes, ABS braking systems and a whole bunch of other crap I don't need. I definitely don't need a 29K rocket ship.
