Hey everyone,

Trena I put a pic of the Jeep wave! My wife owns one and we are thinking about our options too.

Jareardy there are lots of places I can ride a dual sport near my house. I would have to get something mild and something I could ride on trails would be a bonus, I could not imagine myself ona GSXR or Hayabusa haha! I would be dead in a week.

MatPat your one bad dude...

Jareardy... I actually had the sales lady tell me that with Harleys you are paying for the name & that they have their own set of problems. But I think that is basically true for any brand bike you buy. I guess it comes down to what you really have your heart set on. I have no problems with buying a used bike, I actually have my eye on one I really like.

MatPat... Thanks! I know others that ride Harley's & they just love them. Congrats on finally getting your Harley!

The Buell Blast cost under $5,000 but only has a 483cc engine.

The Harley XL883 cost around $5,700 & has a 883cc engine. Which I think is reasonable.

Here are a couple of pics of my hubby's bike...

Oh man, bikes..I started with dirt bike's, then enduro and lastly vintage 2 stroke.
A friend and I spent years riding old water buffalo's and Yamaha RD's and the occasional Kawasaki Triple 2 stroke.
That was the scariest bike I have ever ridden.
After years of crashing and healing I now ride my bicycle.

I had a Harley once, but this video changed my world:

Hehe,

I spent the last 7 hours operating on someone who destroyed their shoulder on a motorcycle. Please, be careful, wear a helmet, and remember there are lots of inattentive and inexperienced drivers out there with you.

Thanks for your concerns GB. I do wear a full face helmet, motorcycle jacket, boots & long pants when riding. They drilled this into us in class, which I highly recommend to anyone thinking about getting a motorcycle. When I see people riding around with no shirts & just shorts on, I think they must be crazy. Oneday they will regret it when they get into an accident & peel their skin off on the asphalt.

^ Yeah I actually saw some pictures of a guy who thought it would be okay to just wear shorts and a tank top when he was riding up and down his street. Turned out he dropped his bike @ 10mph and had to deal with road rash that made his arms and lower back look like hamburger.

Wear your gear!

Does anyone know anything about Triump bikes?... I saw one today, looked up there website & some of their bikes look nice. I just don't see many out & about though.
