Just wondering how many who collect bikes actually ride in addition to collecting motorcycles.

I have been riding for 18 years now.

I am now 57 years, haven't been on one since I was 16.

Always seemed to be something inherently wrong about a motor vehicle that couldn't stand on its own when stopped. :giggle

Always respected the guys that do ride, but can't bring myself up to that level.

:cheers

Going out on two wheels is always better than four!!! Whether it is a trip to the corner store, cross country or just out for a Sunday stroll, I take my bike when ever I can!!!

I've been on two wheels since '96 and was a MSF instructor for a few years of those.

Sold my bike 17 years ago. Too dangerous around here. Maybe too dangerous anywhere for those of us with ultra high self-preservation instincts. Gave up rock climbing and skiing too - must be getting old. :lol

You stopped moto-X racing at 71 yrs old!?!?! Isn't it risky to start raising kids at that age too? :lol

...and strap it on tight!!! LOL!!! We wouldn't be such a menace if the 'cagers' would pay a little more attention to what is going on around them. My near misses were caused by folks in cars and trucks not paying attention. Luckily I was! Oh well, we all have to SHARE the road and ride/drive responsibily.

That being said, there is no excuse for the squids that should never be on a bike.

Why I don't ride, this video (if it is still on youtube) and the fact that my parents and wife would disown me if I ever use the words 'I, need, to get, myself, a, bike' together in one line is good enough to keep me from wanting to ride.

I've had a couple of bikes over the years, and there are two in my garage at the moment; both Hondas.
