You are wrong there DGT. I spend at least 2 hours a week riding my mower.I can always get her to purr straight up everytime.She can be a bit loud though to the point of having to wear earmuffs. Sorry Jensman, never had a bike myself but the kids had one of those cheap quad bikes a while back.Broken down more than it went so ended up getting them a pee wee 80 Never had a break down since.

Reward - There is no other feeling like it. The smell of the great outdoors. Feeling the surge of power as you accelerate. Being one with your machine.Heartaches - After a crash, watching the ambo's remove a guys helmet and head with it. Having a car full of morons decide to play a game of "knock the chick off her bike". (I won) Showering the sheets off in the morning because they stuck to the gravel rash on your back overnight.

I love bikes, I love riding them and over the years I have riden in with gangs and without, on the road, across paddocks, two wheels, three and four. What I dont like is watching the ambos scrape your mate off the road, seeing the leather ripped to shreds and watching the fire service hose the blood and bits of bone away. Yeah, I've buried a few mates who rode.

rewards:pure exhillaration.... not much comes close to the feeling of coming out of a corner, twisting the throttle and having the back wheel light up and front wheel leave the tarmac while still partially leant over (yes i own a sports bike.... no offence to the harley/cruiser riders out there)the bike becomes a place to "empty" ones mind (so to speak) and get control back to what can be a sometimes out of control lifeeasier to ride to work than a car.... flick through traffic... overtake a car in less than 3 secondsthere's heaps more... but mostly sub categories of the aboveHeartaches:police!!... DAMN it's hard to keep a sportsbike on the speedlimit..... you even think about it and your doing 20 over... and while i see that as not being any more dangerous (wait for the flaming) the plod dont like it very much link to above.... it's a PAIN to get around with no license :(inherant risk.... well yea... i'm not stupid..... crash a car.... chances of surviving are resonable.... same crash on the bike.... gonna hurt a HELL of a lot more and although it's nice and easy to jump on the bike and go for a quick spurt with no gear..... "never without leather" is my rule....that Leather is a pain in it's own.... sometimes it takes longer to gear up than it does to get where your going..... all part of it though (makes the car tempting for the quick trips)for me though... the BIG winner.. is the acceleration...... 0-100k's in 2.6 seconds is one HELL of a rush :) very few other vehicles on the road can even come close to that thrill (thats if you can keep the front wheen on the deck)

I wish I had kept it. Looking through comic stores at the prices of classic comics, my collection would have been worth thousands today. Anyway, I was really impressed by the cool chopper he rode. Then there was Fonzie. A cool dude that the chicks loved. My folks were not as impressed as I with motorcycles and said I would not ride one while living under their roof. Still, the day came when my fiancee left me for a sports bike rider. Obviously there was more to it than that but she still rubbed my nose in that part. I think it was supposed to intimidate me. So I went out and bought a Honda 250. I've had many bikes since then, my favourite being a crimson 1974 Honda CB750/4 which still had the original 4 int 4 pipes. It's sitting in my shed, along with other treasures, awaiting restoration. It was Jennylee who decided I should buy a new bike as a commuter to cut down on fuel costs as I was driving a thirsty six at the time and she didn't want me buying another unreliable old bike. We went shopping. Although I've always loved the look of a Harley, I was hesitant to buy one because, with a couple of exceptions, I didn't like the people who rode them. We looked at several bikes in my price range but I can't ride sports bikes as leaning forward hurts my back and all the Japanese cruisers have forwards controls which puts too much pressure on the base of my spine. This left the Harley Sportster and the Triumph Bonneville. The Sporty, optioned up with a custom seat and handle bars and padded sissy bar (Jennylee insisted) was stll cheaper then a Bonneville demo so the Harley it was. This bike, (we named her Angelina, hehe, I always wanted to ride her) is an absolute joy. Plenty of power from her modest 883cc and better lean angle than most cruisers. She runs like clockwork, starts every time and stops as she needs to and yet I am forever being bagged out by non-Harley riders. It's lke the flack I got from Holden drivers when I bought my first Ford. I can't understand the mentality of bigots. They are into everything and it pisses me off. It used to be that a rider would nod to another rider as they pass on the road. You still get this to an extent but not from younger outlaw bikers (the older ones are still in the habit) and not from sportsbike heroes.

this "sportsbike hero" (although definately not in the hero category) nods or lifts a hand off for a wave to pretty much any other biker... i find the "i'm too cool to wave" harley riders are the ignorant ones around where i live

Your post wasn't up when I posted my comment. Damn these delayed posts. Maybe I need to visit sunny Queensland. The observations I made were from my own personal experience down this neck of the woods and I first became aware of it while riding my beloved 750/4 years before my little Harley. A friend of mine and I were discussing it one day. He's a big fan of classic British bikes with several running and registered BSA's and a Matchless or two. He found that the sportsbike riders never gave him a wave and always cut accross his nose in a provocative manner when overtaking. I had experienced this too but my 750 was warmed over with a 900 kit and a cam so they were often in for a surprise. I remember one particular occasion, a young fella on a Suzuki GSX-R 600 figured on showing me and my dinosaur a thing or two. For five kilometres, he would buzz past me, then fall back. At the traffic lights, he would sit beside me, revving his machine, trying to goad me into action. After the forth set of lights, we were out of the burbs and the road opened up into a dual lane 80km/h zone. He took off like a shot. In defference to my aging clutch, I took off smoothly but let it wind up. He could not pull away from me and once we past through the 160 mark, he just pulled over to the side of the road and gave up. Just another young hotshot who thought having a fast bike made him a street fighter. I gave him a bit to think about. Now usually I don't ride like this, I'm very sedate. I just love to cruise but enough was enough. Once over the hill, I slowed back down to 80 but never saw him again.

i'm more of a "corners" man myself.... i've got an 04 R1... resonably modified.... with -1 +4 sprockets (basically geared like a 600 with a modified 1000cc motor powering it!!)i do however have a chuckle to myself when the "heros" on their brand spanking new blinged up sportsbikes try me for a roll on from 100... they click back at least 2 gears... and huddle under the screen... i leave mine in top... stay sitting upright and stay right beside em...(or leave em behind if i'm feeling mean) they end up giving up and shake their head at me in disbelief..... then ask me what the hell i've done to my bike when we stop its a sad fact though... that as we've both stated.... the "bike" fraternity that used to be anything with 2 wheels has now become snobbish and categorized to the point where people refuse to say a simple G-day to each other on a ride or at a servopersonally i couldnt give a rats arse.... harley... sportsbike.... hell... a VESPA even.... we all enjoy riding bikes.... and each person enjoys their own style of riding.... i can appreciate the harley side for the cruise factor... and a scooter is damn handy around town....me personally.. i dont think i could affford to continually replace the foot rests and whatever else that might come into contact around every corner if i owned a harley... and well.... i dont think a scooter could lift the front wheel rolling on the throttle in third at 130k's like my bike can... (now THAT'S fun) so if you happen to see a red R1 with a tall 6'5 bloke riding it... complete with double ventura bags on the back and a tank bag up front.... wave....

A young lady liked my bike, and told me how she imagined me on "That Pearler of a bike" This s what I wrote for her in an email... If you dont get it, I guess you must be on the wrong thread.. If you do get it.. welcome friend.. Bike or no bike.. you are ok.. :) ------------------------------------------------ Oh Ti... that "Pearla of a bike", I fear, has developed somewhat into its rider: harsh, grey, somewhat opinionated, and cranky, with a semi anachistic mind of its own.I have spoken with it once or twice, and asked if you and I may ride together on its back one day... it asked a lot of questions about you.It got sarcastic!it got plain nasty and bombastic..it laughed and scorned and got suggestive.it sulked.. SULKED!!!! for goodness sake!SO....I took it out for a good ride.. waay up in the hills...late at night.. listening to the beautiful sound of its pipes echoing throughout the valleys and rolling away with the freedom of something so purely scientific, and still so beautiful and purely spiritual...Oh Ti.. we rode the night away.... as though the power of the sound itself scared the dark off into yesterday..all of a sudden, the blood red hammers of dawn were smashing through the doors of a brand new day for us to experience...Then girl.. we eventually turned our head for home... but.. in another act of fellowship, I parked it under a tree looking out over the city from twenty kilometres away, shrouded in the morning haze or a million people just awakening.. I listened to the cute sounds of the metal pinging and popping as it cooled and reshaped itself.I smelled the curious odours of an old bike and burning oil.. I smelled the leather in my jacket, and thought in awe of the thousand stories that course man-smell could tell.The staleness, and sweat - the odours of hundreds pints of beer and whiskey spilt through maybe hundreds of parties, and mateship drinks..Thoughts rolled through! The memories of places and people.. youth long gone and the grip of the desires of a lifetime as a writer and rider, of a poet, and a drunk.. of a lover, and a fighter.. of a mix of some of the best, and worst of humanity.. Then Lady Ti... a quite voice broke through.. a question I couldnt imediately put relevance to.. "What was that ?" I asked to the side.."Would she like it??""What the f&*% are you on?" I almost snapped at it.."Ti! you dickhead... would she like to see what we see when we are together?"I thought!I looked back at the fresh memories of the dawn.. I felt the coldness in my fingers, the dampness on my jeans and boots..I smelt the beauty of a time of the day so many people rush through on their way to work, or sleep right through.."I dunno mate!" I breathed"damned if I know..""But, IF she is not corrupted by the untrusting nature of man, by the follies of materialistic gains and the ungrateful sirens of retail therapy, and advertising.... Shit yeah!! I reckon she would..!!" damned if that bike didnt smile.. and asked me to take it home.. I did that Ti.. rode it right into the shed it calls its tempory home, and parked it up.. rested my hand on its old and tattered paintjob and frame.. smiled and walked away..As I closed the door and went to go make my morning coffee.. I swear I heard a quiet whisper sneak out shed.. "It might be fun boy.. it might be nice!!" ----------------------------------- cavey.. doing what he does.. x

(Sheesh, six foot fucking five, what was I thinking?) Seriously though, yes, come through the Southern Highlands and we'll do lunch at the George IV Inn at Picton. Who knows, perhaps we can build interest in a RHP East Coast Run. (Imagine the entertainment at that get together.)

Nothing better on a nice day to go for a long cruse on open roads. Adrenalin rush and sense of freedomThe bad is that not many people see you and your chances of having an accident compared to a car are mush much higher. Ogh and they hurt allot. That being said i'm not trading my bike in for the world.

I have now got my bike lic and I LOVE it. The freedom and the risk is amazing. So much fun. I get to see the result of people doing silly things on the roads all the time because of my work. With bikes, damage to the rider is such a risk if something goes wrong......and when it goes wrong, it goes wrong in a BIG way. That is what makes it so exciting. I love it.

Rode a FXSB HD for 5 yrs. Rode it to work every week day from Koo-Wee-Rup to Altona and back again.(That's twice a day over the West gate there and back) Went on all the Melbourne club's poker runs, raffle nights and general get togethers. Even did 'Hire a Harley' for a while till they made it that you had to be registered. Sold that and bought a ZZR600 and did courier work in the city for about 12 months.(AND SURVIVED). One day a single raindrop got between my collar and neck and run all the way down to between the cheeks of my butt. That was the moment I decided to move on and get a car. Havan't rode them since. Footnote: Anyone old enough to remember the saturday mornings at the top end of Elizabeth St Melb when bikes were lined up all along the gutter for blocks? All the clubs would show up. Bikers use to run out and pull the lever off the electrical power line leaving the tram driver to have to get out and put it back. Was in the 70's.

Hey JensmanWell, I wonder what to write and where to start, when this is RHP and not a motorcycle club! I have been riding for over 8 years. Owned a humble Aerox 110cc Scooter (for a couple of years) , hired a CBR250RR (rode from Melbourne to Sydney and back)Also hired a CBR1100xx Blackbird and rode from Melbourne to Daylesford and back. Went travelling overseas and hired a Harley Sportster 883 in San Francisco and a Harley Roadking in LA (rode to San Diego and back to LA).Wow - never realised how fondly I recall the many rides I have been on, perhaps this is what motorcycle riding is all about...the adventure!! Returned to Melbourne and bought my first bike - CBR600f and now I am the proud owner of a 03 Fireblade.My next bike (wish list) is a nice V Twin such as the VTR 1000 SP2, or TLR1000R or possibly a Hayabusa.So my trusty steed is my daily commute, the joys are, so much easier to get to work, much faster and more agile than a car, and the big finale...we can use Bus Lanes in Sydney - oh yeah! (nothing better than passing cagers who are stuck bumper to bumper while I use the Bus Lane!!)The downside? What we save in fuel, we end up spending on motorcycle accessories, replacing our tyres (the rear powered wheel in particular) and the increased costs when being serviced...oh, and the odd donation to the government considering that our speedometer sits well below where our eyes are looking!! (Hell, I got a ticket for safely making a right hand turn, cause I was looking at where I wanted to go, rather than looking at the street corner displaying the obscure No Right Hand Turn Sign!).....I did not want to crash into the street corner thanks.....With the right gear, rain is no big deal, on the flip side, heat is my biggest enemy (our weather and no air con!)Melbourne is the place to be if you are a rider, so many more great rides! Parking on Footpaths is another benefit and not being charged for tollways in Melbourne - Sydney could certainly take a leaf from Melbournes book! I know for a fact that there are many people driving to work, when they could take there motorbike - but Sydney's government provides little incentive for doing so!! (this is while Sydney moans about there traffic congestion problem!)But I do digress....this is RHP, oh yeah, I got a motorbike, met a really hot girl because of it, we had many passionate nights together, I moved into her place, we got engaged and then married and are living happily ever after!Cheers 2 Wheels!

Quoting 'jensman1903' Just eighteen months ago, I learnt that you can't turn corners on a motorcycle while you are airborne. bwahahaa I mean oh yes, doesn't work that well ;p (when need arises it doesn't stop you from trying though ;p)Ok I learnt that when all your friends ride Harley's and they are such good friends, they "let" (lol) me ride with them on my little 250cc kwaka, that you are NOT allowed to whinge about the blisters on your hands on the end of the day.I also learnt that it is not the best of ideas to use the full stand on grassy/sandy surface out the front of a very popular sunday session - and try many times, much to the amusement of those patrons watching, to get it back off. Only to be "saved" by the Harley rider parked next to me who got cheers from the onlookers! lol Was so embarrassed I rode off that curb so quickly, nearly popped it, zigged up to the street. Eternally grateful I didn't come off lol

lonely as the only dirt biker here! These days I only putt around though, usually behind a mob of sheep, actually was out doing that this afternoon on the Mx'erLots of good memories though, of railing ruts, getting lots of air over jumps, blasting through berms, hanging on to a dancing bike.Then there were plenty of times when it ended badly...assorted trips over the hangars, highside's, parting company with the bike in mid air, battling arm pump.Gawd...the amount of time I used to spend hobbling around with sprains, twisted knees, bruises and abrasions...lolIt was certainly an adrenalin blast.Felonius......eat my roost!

Boys and our toys, Bikes, love them years ago (1987) mate had a Moriwaki kit on a z1000 might have been a rebore 1105 will have to dig that picture out, that is the bike that gave me that need and want feeling few years down the track after dying few times in hospital from a car accident got out and funds saved and insurance etc once learned to walk again wanted some thing small but upright (if you saw my back brace you would understand) so bought brother in laws EN500 nothing special but was to serve a purpose which it did. Due to near death and still in a back brace, parents sort of disowned me. So got panniers for the thing x 3 plus Burgan on my back and a day sack on my chest of I went down to London in rain then snow then sleet then snow, 23 hours later landed, back brace had broke without knowing on the journey due to weight of my Burgan. Four months cruising up kings road to a great pub there, was unreal I could shuttle the four of us up there quicker than a taxi or tube. Lovely fond memories and they need to come back and get some new ones. Sold it to get here, and then got z1000, sold that when left work to work for myself. I will have another one by the time of my birthday at Christmas Hard to explain but I just love it and the feeling of living, any bike is good enough for me road, hog, trial no particular morals to any (dream bike is a different story) but want some grunt and just love Seager - Turn the Page every time I hear it I want sell the house and go get my toy I so long for. Just wish I could find roads simular to those of Switzerland or the Highlands of Scotland as this is where I feel it all comes together but again just me

This is where my hate for England slowly started. Travelling from Tain (35 miles north of Inverness) to Norbury London (no issue in Scotland) in winter, yes it was snowing raining, but as getting down past Northhampton my hands where so frozen I could hardly get my wallet out my pocket let alone undo the chin strap (ha i couldnt even grip the ignition key) so went in to pay and thought I just entered a war zone they thought I was going to rob the joint, yet (I am not at all racialist) there was a Muslim lady, now I had a red helmet black leather pants and an original world war 2 bomber pilots jacket (passed down from my father) plus I’m 6ft 2. No offence but they are all 4.10 to 5ft all wear black all speak the same and all have brown eyes WTF. They wouldnt even listen to my excuse just had to get out now so outside I asked this bloke to undo my chin strap, next fuel stop went for the coffee first to warm up

I've being riding my bike to work for years. Gotten soo used to it now that I don't even need a car. The bike is fantastic. No crashes, no incidents, no points, 22km to the litre. In my opinion, people whom drive cars, don't know what they are missing, waste hours every week sitting in traffic, waste heaps in insurance, petrol and rego.Bike are cool also, they give women orgasisms ;)I'm a daily rider, not a bikie, not a casual rider whom takes out his Harley on the weekend. I ride good n sensibly and hate those whom are wreckless.

I managed to get my L's last year and purchased a new ride not much later, just a 250cc single cyl. I've enjoyed the best of it - starting out early on a ride to Ballarat (no twisties) in the mist, then watching the countryside roll in as the day warmed up. You are so much closer to it all, it really does take your breath away. Then the pain as the bike starts overheating and you realise the head gaskets blown. The agony of the wait as it's fixed (under warranty thank god) Then the joy of the reunion, until ...... you have to put all those emergency braking skills into practice for real. The end for me was not that great. It's now my baby who sits in the garage, waiting for me to be repaired. But I will ride again. I'm not sure if I can ride she who spurned me onto the blacktop, bad karma. And I always nod at every rider I see.

most men would seriously consider killing you for riding their bike much less their wife although on here maybe a different story for some lol. I satrted on a vtr 250 then went to a Yellow 900 ss Ducati then to an APrillia RSVR1000 I cant help it i love the deep drone of an italian V twin (note I know vtr is not itallian but I had to start somewhere LOL) I unfortunately am without bike atm but am endeavouring to change that soon and when I do I will definitely look you guys up for a ride. BTW i nod or wave to every rider I see be it moped or 1% er lol you know who you are.

Ofcourse I bought a copy so that I could show my mates and say, "I did her." Okay, I was a pig. I was young. That magazine was my first glimpse into the hardcore biker lifestyle. Before this, I had no idea of the appeal it held for some women. I started considering upgrading from 250cc road/trail bikes to big capacity road bikes. I started flicking through the trading post to see what I could consider. Now I already wore my hair long and a beard so I guess I looked the part. A girl I was chatting to asked me whether I rode. I told her I was thinking about getting a Harley. Her interest in me cooled. I'm not really sure whether it was because I was only thinking of getting a bike or because I chose the wrong style. In any case, I found myself in a similar situation with a lovely lass heaping attention on me. When she asked if I ride, I recalled the previous occasion. I didn't want to make the same mistake and say I was thinking about it so I told her I had a Triumph Bonneville but it was in the workshop. ...I shagged her.

Quoting 'LivinlifeDan' this "sportsbike hero" (although definately not in the hero category) nods or lifts a hand off for a wave to pretty much any other biker... i find the "i'm too cool to wave" harley riders are the ignorant ones around where i live I am one of those aforementioned Harley Riders, and will nod/wave to EVERY other rider......even mopeds haha!As Dan has mentioned earlier, the pure acceleration, regardless of type of ride, is a rush like nothing else.Those who don't ride...won't understand!Downsides - definitely the bugs, hell copped a massive grasshopper at 120km coming back from Blackbutt on the weekend! Hurt like hell and was bloody messy.

We have been riding for over 40's years. Not as much these days as we used to. But hey Sunday rides in the country are still our thing or a ride into Newie for a latte is also cool. No problems with parking. And most motorcyclists are really great people. Even more so when you have a vintage bike for them to salivate over. Oh and "Pie in the Sky" and "Woolombi Pub" are both good places to meet other swinging couples.

I have been lucky that I have never needed to own a car...... To put it mildly motorbikes are fun from 250 japper to ducati twins and even harleys. The feel of getting a corner "right" or passing a mate on the outside while play racing in the hills!!!!! Wet weather riding, wet crotch, cold hands, circulation returning tingles, rallying on a cold weekend, doing your best for a mate after a stack, 120k monos, stoppies, your latest lady with her arms around you on a nice weekend ride...... The rewards SO outweigh the downsides like people calling you a donor. temporary aussie. People die in cars all the time and I pretty much think none of of us are getting out of here alive, so enjoy!!!!! Mike

Installing a new rear shock (WP of course) and spending the day fine tuning it.. Then going to open practice at Oran Park (miss you Oran Park xx) and achieving the holy grail of bike set up, hard through the left hander to go under the bridge with not a speck of rear wheel chatter then flat stick knee on the tar across the right hander over the bumps on top of the bridge.. heart rate 190bpm.. pucker factor 8.

I'm back on my motorcycle and commuting to and from work, 35km each way, for the past two weeks. I've seen dozens of other riders in that time and only once was my greeting nod returned.

Jensman I am glad to see you are out on the bike again. I agree I tend to do the "nod" when I see another bike and I know where you are coming from. Pity about that as we are out getting through traffic and it takes jsut a nod to say G'day... Mike
