Re: New Here!
For the record, miles usually isn't quite this "serious"...we may be seeing the early stages of growing up, I'm not sure. I personally refuse to do so.

Now I'm not sure if its just Yamaha's triple, but its like instant torque above 3K RPM's. A kick straight to the nuts. I wonder if your 1050cc triple is the same way.....Must be fun!LonestarCBR wrote:Me as well...though I like to call it a hooligan bike, or streetfighter, just to make myself feel a little tougher in my old age.NakedDentonite wrote:Yes, and I ride the sportbikes for geezers!

The world needs Miles
Sometimes you gotta draw the line, but that doesn't mean it can't be squiggly-miles

Re: New Here!
Welcome to the boards and yes, you fit in just fine. The oldtimers are too fast for us younger slow folk so we have to get sport bikes to keep with them.
I am going to TWU and as much as I want to ride my bike there, I am afraid it would get lost if it decided to go for a ride without me and then I would be stranded in Denton.

Unfortunately, my ass can't handle my bike's hard ass seat for too long before it starts hurting so I haven't been too far.
Nice pics and welcome to the club. Hoping to meet you soon.

I hear ya...I once had a Kawasaki that I'd used the seat as an excuse so as to not break down too far away from home. Once.Benitez1117 wrote:BURN!...Unfortunately, my ass can't handle my bike's hard ass seat for too long before it starts hurting so I haven't been too far.
Seriously, nothin' but ridin' toughens up the rear. Ride on brother...til she breaks! (Okay, maybe not seriously).
Actually, in total seriousness, I'd ride just about anything but a cruiser, and if that were my only choice between riding or no, I guess I'd ride one...but I'd be sure my face was obscured, rep being what it is and all. I think I'm serious this time.

I guess I somehow have to build up some butt calluses, anyone up for helping me?
But in all seriousness, I aint about that life and it sounds gross.
