Anyone Ride?

[Wellington]

Are there any motorcycle riders out there? I just started last year and I love it. I started my bike up last week and have been riding it regularly since.
I have a 1978 Suzuki GS750, and I love it. I wish it had the original style seat, but this is fine. This year I've gotten a lot more confident on the bike and feel a lot more comfortable getting around on it (I only rode it for a month last year before it got too cold).

Anyway, i'm sold to the bikes, I can see why there are so many die hards. Unfortunately Saskatchewan's SGI (vehicle licenser and insurance) has been proposing to hike up insurance/registration costs over 400%, no word of a lie. The federal government stepped in and said thats too much and now there is discussion going on about it. They said there have been too many accidents. So does that make it right to punish everyone? Even the clean record riders of 30 years? You'd think this province would be encouraging the current trend of motorcycle riding, since its far more economical than driving 4X4's like most people. Obviously in our environment its only practical for half of the year, but still.
Anyway, this is a picture of my bike. One was taken in black and white film, the other exposing the true blue.

No, I haven't hit my mid-life crisis yet lol jk. For me to purchase any kind of vehicle it has to be capable of transporting my ice hockey gear.

I bought a sportster just about 3 years ago- my first bike. I love it. Use it to commute to work when it's nice, and go for rides with family and friends who have bikes. I'll get a few pics up when I get home.

Hell yes! Been riding for 16 years, I'm 31 now. Currently got a 96 Yamaha diversion 900cc, Ride everyday without fail, either commuting on the patch I cover for work or riding for pleasure.
Currently saving up to buy a 2013 Honda Pan, a 2013 Harley 1200cb Sportster or a Harley soft tail... I realise that the Pan must seem a bit out of place in that list but having gone for a recent test ride on one I can confirm that they ride excellent. In fact they ride so well that the desire to own one is currently challenging my life long desire to own a Harley.

Love riding! I have a 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50T. It's another one of my hobbies (I have a hobby of collecting hobbies 8O )

I don't have a motorcycle, but I have a two stroke moped. It does about 30-35 and has some crazy gearing. That thing takes off! In short point to point races, I beat my friend every time,and his is faster.

I would really like to get an old Indian someday, I think they look really cool.

Awesome comments, its great to see others with the bike passion. Carbz, that bike is gorgeous!

You may want to try to make it to the Old Car Festival @ Greenfield Village in September if you like the old bikes

Thats convenient, I'm not too far from there. Old bikes are really the only ones I like. I don't care for Harleys or anything else. I do like a nice crotch rocket, but old bikes are my favorites.

Sigh. No motorcycle (yet) - I just ride my bicycle. :D

Been riding for a number of years, currently riding an '06 Suzuki Boulevard, but itching to pull the trigger on something with a bit more power.

 

[bbarnes]

Started riding about 5 years ago. I've got an '82 Yamaha Maxim that I bought to learn on and an '09 Honda Shadow

I rode for the first time a year ago on my stepdads Honda shadow. He trusts me way too much haha. So how do I convince the wife that a bike is reasonable, she hates them but I'll be moving back to AZ in June and its riding weather everyday there. I've always loved bikes and cars.
