Do you think you were born a motorcyclist?

Sure, most of us rode bicycles as kids, but motorcycles are not the same. Most people don't make the jump to a motorized two wheeled vehicle. I admit when I first tried it I was hooked. Now if you never had experimented, and tried motorcycles, you'd never have know. But, since you did, is it something you were meant to, and have to do? Is it take it or leave it? Or, do you think you made a mistake? :dunno:

Some of my best friends are motorcyclists.

(But would you really want your daughter to marry one?)

Good one. :cheers:

My daughters boyfriend rides quads. :dunno:


I would rather have my daughters boyfriend drive a motorcycle then drive a SUV, staion wagon, or something with a big back seat.

I had a 1987 Escort SW and a few girls that I dated there Dads wouldn't let me take them out in the wagon :dunno:

Roadstergal is the kind of girl that I'd take home to shock my mother.

If you don't shock your mother already, I don't think I'd do it.

Well...  I know I wasn't born to ride motorcycles...  But, the first time I did I couldn't stop...  and haven't stopped...  and never want to stop.

Two days without riding makes me grumpy.

So how do we distinguish between the regular gwumpies and the "non riding" gwumpies?  :dunno:

On rainy days, he can sit on the washing machine while its on and close his eyes and pretend he is out riding. That makes him happy and gets rid of his grumpies from lack of riding  :kiss: Regular grumpies are subdued by pills.  :lol:
Richard died in a motorcycle accident that was at no fault of his own.  We lost a good friend and good member of this board.  Though Rich may be gone, his legacy will live on here.

Well...  I have a few different grumpies to choose from...

But... The moto-grumpies are distinguishable from the rest by my incessant pointing out of motos...  

"Look!!!"
"What?"
"MOTO!!!"
:roll:
**whine**


And...  On rainy days...  I just ride slower.

and like none of you have ever picked up streetwalkers on your bike....

In the 27 years I've been living on this Earth, I've only been riding for one. I would definitely say I wasn't born a motorcyclist. I love it so much, though, that I have no idea how I went 26 years without it. Much like driving (something I would say I'm an extreme enthusiast and sportsman for), I would claim I have a deep passion for motorcycling now and i would be lying if I didn't say the group of people on this forum have very much helped me find this. :thumb:

Wasn't that YOU I saw the other day rolling around on the ground, stomping and beating your hands and legs on the ground and crying, "But I WANNA go MOTO riding!! I WANNA WANNA WANNA....NOW!! *stomp* *stomp*?  :dunno:
