I am, without a doubt, a fair-weather rider. I enjoy riding when it's nice out. I don't enjoy riding when the weather's cr@p. Would rather take the van in bad weather. Call it self-preservation....or fair-weather riding. That's ME!

I also started riding when I was 10--a Yamaha Enduro 100. Rode that and my brother's 250 until I was 18. My next bike was a Suzuki Intruder 800. Now I have a '02 Dyna Wide Glide. My son is 9, and he has a Yamaha TTR90. I hope he has as much fun as I have.

I'm a mom too. My son is 8, and he got a Yamaha TTR-90 this summer. I ride a '92 Dyna Wide Glide. I have some misgivings about riding, but I also skydive and I have more misgivings about that :? I continue to do both, though skydiving definitely takes a back seat to other things....like work and bei...

the vast majority of the local riders are mid life crisis harley riders usually wearing no gear or helmet at all. We also have the requisite squid population. "Mid-life crisis" harley riders? That's funny. Those kinds of characterizations tend to make me laugh. The guys that I ride with a...
