I don't blame anyone for giving it up after losing a loved one on the road, I would most likely do the same. Ride safe guys, ride them like everyone is out to get you, stay on back roads and don't use the bike to its full potential. Mitigating risk is the most important part of the ride. Hey I mite bust some balls around here but there is no way in hell I want anything to happen to any of you. For old Badger yes please get home safe to your family's. God bless all you bike riders out there!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rounder Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Perfect day on the bikes. Had one bitch pass me on the right coming within inches only to get to red light 100 yards ahead, and another stupid cunt toosed a smoke out the window and it hit my arm. The one at the light was trapped and had her window down,mshe was afraid when I yelled at her. The one on the road that tossed the butt also had her window down, pretty sure she was terrified as I wheeled up along side doing 75 and gave her shit. Fuck me, riding is supposed to be fun. Midweek will be a priority the rest of the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumulus Nimbus Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 We did a nice 500 km loop today. Perfect weather, a few clouds and 30c or 86f, slight breeze. Riding with the father in law, the wife and a buddy on wed. Buddy is picking up a new trailer to tow behind his gold wing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumulus Nimbus Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 15 minutes ago, Shifty said: Nice looking bikeIt was so cheap it was almost free. I sold a much larger bike, planned on moving onto a bolt and my buddy wanted to sell this one cheap so I grabbed it and am really liking it. We ride country roads with a 50 mph limit, so cruising those roads it seems to work very well. I pushed it up to 90mph and at that speed it gets a little buzzy, and is not a great highway bike, runs well up to 70 then vibrates too much if you press it beyond that. I like the weight of it at only about 525 lbs. Was going to clean it up, get running well and sell it, but have already added 5000km to the clock so far and might keep it this summer and then sell. It only had 15000km on it so I can pile some pretty good miles on it this summer and not really devalue it. Should be able to sell it next spring for close to twice what I paid.

ArcticWolf 24 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Bought a 1985 shadow when I was 16, learned to ride with it. Moved up to an R6 the next year. That thing was scary fast. Fastest I ever hit was 280kmh. Figured I would give the dirt a try this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
