:welcome2:
What bikes did you own before the Bandit?
I always follow the rules.
The only exception to the rule occurs when I make an exception to the rule not to make an exception to the rule and that only occurs under exceptional circumstances.

Wow, Ed. You have been biking longer than I've been around. :)

:welcome2: to the site.

I guess it will be a few more months before biking season starts there. A tad chilly right now? :P

By the way.....we love pictures. How about posting a pic of your new bike?

Makes you feel like you're 20 again eh? Proves what I been thinking, motorbikes are better for a bloke then stalagmite. :mrgreen:

What was your first bike?
Always ask why.

Norton 500. Royal Enfield 350, 500. Harleys 2. At least 10 Honda 750. Suzuki 550,750,850,1100,1200. Best touring bike was a Yamaha 1100 Maxim, loved that bike. Forgotten a few . Enjoyed every one of them. Ed

Welcome Ed, great to have another biker here in their 8th decade of life. I've been driving as long as you've been riding, but I got a late start riding at age 52. Just 23 years and 360k miles on 6 bikes so far and still feel like 19 again when I'm riding. :woohoo:
407,211 miles in 30.1 years for 13,528 miles/year average. Started 7/21/84, updated 8/26/14

Longer Season

#10 Unread post by BikerEd »

Been thinking of some travels South,then the tornados hit . All we get up here is snow and cold,no real crazy weather. Would make a good summer trip down to Texas. Keep your eyes open for a Black Suzuki Bandit, might be me :twisted: :)
