I noticed the helmet in your avatar. What kind of motorcycle do you ride?

Greetings,

Pipe tobacco is certainly better tasting and more interesting than cigars.

I couldn't agree more! The amount of nuance and complexity, in my opinion, really out does cigars. So much so I haven't actually smoked a cigar in about 2 months! Which is the longest I've gone as I prefer a smoke in the morning with coffee.

Also, thank you for noticing. I've got an 08 Suzuki Boulevard c50 with a stage 1. And even with that she still ain't too fast, but she's paid off and she's a hell of a lot of fun!

A good friend of mine owned a Boulevard and it rode really well. Ride it to Sturgis a couple of times

That's pretty cool! It's definitely a fun bike. Do you ride?

Welcome! I also started off with cigars and still love them but I've found that pipes are so much more rewarding

Native Southern Californian here, welcome. Funny how we more often than not distinguish that we are from ‘southern’ California…. I do it too. Frankly though I’m not sure if it’s a badge of pride or horror.

I do ride! I ride quite a bit. I have 4 motorcycles, but my usual riding is on the Harley Davidson's. I have a Street Glide for my main rider, but put many miles doing Iron Butt rides on an Ultra Limited. I also have a custom chopper that I am proud of. I don't ride it often, rigid suspension does not allow long distances.

Sorry for the delayed response, my Dad passed and life has been busy.

That is really cool! Sounds like you really do put down a lot of miles, the iron butt challenge is no joke! How many times have you completed it and where have you ridden to? I really hope one day to be able to complete it. Currently, 90% of my riding is just commuting to and from work, mostly because I've got little ones at home so my weekends are pretty shot. Plus I don't have any friends that ride.

That's awesome to have 4 running bikes! I have a 98 shadow vt1100 that was given to me by an uncle. She needs a lot of work but the engine is fine and I really want to strip it down and build it up eventually.

Although my dream would be to build a big twin evo chop but I'm no where near that yet, haha. After I've gotten licensed in my field and start making a little more scratch I'll hopefully be able to upgrade to a softail to commute with. What kind of chop do you have?

Also, my condolences about your father, I am truly sorry for your loss.

I have over 40 IBA rides done, all over the USA. I have not gotten to SoCal yet on a motorcycle, but been to Texas, Utah, Seattle... and pretty much every state east of the rockies.

My chopper is a complete custom made by Mid-West Choppers that is no longer in business. The 2010 EPA rules put most of these builders out of business.

Love to hear from fellow bikers who smoke pipe as well. There are a few of us on the forum.
