I use to ride when I was younger. You can do everything right and safe but you can't control the way other people drive. People will hesitate to make a left in front of a car but some reason that only a master psychiatrist can explain they have no trouble doing that in front of a motorcycle. One of the major reasons for fatal motorcycle accidents.  

I was all set to get back into riding when within a month I saw two brutal motorcycle accidents. Lastly I went into a show room to check out a Honda Interceptor and the sales person wheels out in a wheel chair. I came home and got on the phone with swimming pool companies. My pool opens for the season in two weeks.

any of you guys ride a motorcycle? i think im missing out not having one, riding one. isnt the guy passing you by on a motorcycle a little better , always? enjoying life a little more... thats how i feel. the closest i get to ride a motorcycle is GTA 5 and thats pretty pathetic.  :-\

I stopped riding since my daughter was born. I love doing it but the risks are very high. Now i'm more into 4-wheelling, if i want to feel the wind in my face i lay the windscreen on the bonnet  ;D.

I have a 2012 BMW S1000RR and an 09' Suzuki DR650 which has been punched out to a 790. Lots of fun and virtually year round in Austin, but with the city's growth, it's simply too crowded to enjoy them as I once did. I'd post a pic or 2, but am clueless on how to go about that.

Tell me about your 790.

I have built a dr650 supermoto.....done just about everything possible to it without this big bore 790cc kit.  I have been on the fence re this final step.

And yes to the OP.....get a bike.  Don't jump into liter bike first (or even GSX-r750). 

Do it now before you have a kid.  Once my son was born, it made riding these bikes the way they are meant to be ridden much more difficult.

Remember the episode where he jumped over the shark tank? To me that was the beginning of the end.

A show about a middle aged man who promises high school boys the solution to their problems if they'll follow him into the public restroom raises no eyebrows, but get him to waterski over a shark one time and

My wife used to have a crotchrocket (suzuki ninja) and sold it a few years back just before we got married but wants to get another one. I told her then I am getting one of these. Love the look of spyders for some reason.

I was first on-scene at a moto versus car where the dude looked like this. An ER nurse and I jogged down to where the dude stopped pinwheeling and I asked her if she wanted to check for a pulse. She said, "Lord, no"

Pics are one thing, seeing it in person must be 10x worse.

I don't think I would be able to pick up the chunks and make a pile of them on the side of the road.

Pulling the still living head from the helmet, showing him the bad news, and telling him he won't recover is the worst part.

You prefer a giant tough guy cycle that blows out your ears and looks like junk I take it? Everyone has a preference. Don't forget your Harley jacket, gun, and tattoos.
Would be pretty weird for a 110lb female to ride one of those....

It would be pretty weird for a 110lb female to ride a Suzuki Ninja , because they don't exist.
