I'd Rather Be Riding

[nsfisher]

Only 4-5 Months to go.

And my other half. Usually with me on the bike, 90% of the time.

 

[radio807]

You and me both! I do ride in the winter with heated vest and gloves, but I stop as soon as the salt and gravel go down on the roads. Snow season start yet up your way?
Sweet looking bike, BTW. Similar in style to mine.

 

[petes03]

Yep, me too! Although, I didn't get to ride much this summer due to all the rain here in Tennessee over the summer.

temp was 77 here today, lots of m/c riders out

 

[daveinlax]

LOL! Not me! I just think back on the days when I was a kid, freezing my ass off because the MC was my best option. I walked away from my last crash and have never looked back. 8O

Just did a nice loop yesterday from Prescott, AZ down through Wickenburg and back.
My bike is officially 20 years old now!! (1993 Vulcan 1500)
Any "DarkSiders" in this bunch??

I was gonna go to the "Darkside" until I found Dunlop E3.
Can't wait for summer, I hate the sight of the "Star" sitting in the garage.

SAWEEEEET bike .... my next ride for sure.
I would take the Venture any day over the other full dressers out there.

thanks cobguy

I love this bike, i will buy another in a heartbeat. We took it a couple years ago on a trip from here (WI) to Virginia Beach, then N Carolina and back through the Smokies on the BRP. 10 day's only 4 hours of rain and only a couple hundred interstate miles.

 

[cobguy]

Always wanted to ride the BRP ... did you do the Tail of the Dragon?
I've heard it's dangerous if you don't have experience but phenomenal for the rest of us!

 

[hobie1dog]

The TOG is just too tight to be fun. The Cherohala Parkway is much more fun with those huge sweepers at 80 MPH
The BRP is great because of its 45 MPH speed limit as it forces you to just relax and enjoy the scenery. It is the most beautiful when you get to the end near the Cherokee reservation in Tenn.

 

[05venturer]

I have rode TOD, BRP and the Cherohala and I loved em all. The Dragon for us was a ball, but u gotta be on you toes and no sightseeing. LOL. I can't wait to make another trip down, maybe time to start looking for a retirement place. LOL

 

[cobguy]

Had an opportunity to move to Asheville, NC and sometimes I kick myself for not doing so! :?
Great pic's hobie ... thanks for sharing!

My "Boldwing". A 1978 GL1000 Honda Goldwing

 

[cobguy]

Cool! Kind of "Cafe" style with risers. I like the "Wing" slip-ons you gave it too!

 

[blueeyedogre]

It actually underwent a "cafe" overhaul this fall. 16" apes left and 2" cafe bars added. No updated pics yet.

 

[joeval]

Yeah, too cold to be out on the bike here! At least, not without some warm winter gear... Plan for the new year is to pass my full bike test and get something bigger - I'm stuck on a little 125cc at the moment. Still, great fun!

Poor thing needs a wee bit of maintenance done over the winter, and since the photo was taken some scoundrel has pinched the mirrors...

Now this is a cycle I would like to ride/own! I'd forgotten how good looking the GW was/is without all the bags and doodad's. 8O

 

[blueeyedogre]

Daveinlax, picture a big old school cafe racer. I needed a big bike as at 6,4" and 270 I look ridiculous on an old triumph.

Joeval, that is a sweet little hooligan!!
