I am not in my twenties and I ride a naked sport bike.

What makes a naked sport (

) different?

If you are considering buying a motorcycle and don't have any experience riding them you should consider taking a class. After the class, you don't have to take the motorcycle license test, you just take the paper from the class to the Driver's License office and they give you (for a fee) a license with 'M' class on it.

For you KC folk, I took this class at JCCC back in 2011 and it was excellent. Friday night and all day Saturday and they provide bikes and gear if you don't own it. Instructor was top-notch and knew his stuff!

It doesn't have fairings. Also, some (probably not all) seem to be more upright so there is less weight on your hands.

You can only call a Harley a Hog.

I'm on the market for a Honda Davidson. Something to take to and from work, and maybe to the local Twin Peaks, any help would be appreciated, TIA.

Nothing sorts out low/mediums on vacation faster than mentioning the local harley davidson store

Could you explain what you mean?

ChiComCat · « **Reply #40 on:** April 20, 2016, 12:10:54 PM »

If someone's vacation priorities are to get a Harley Davidson St Thomas shirt, they are probably not someone that I am going to grab a beer with

The things that direct the wind around your body that are not there in the picture that I posted before of the naked sport bike.

Ohhhhhhhhh, it didn't really register that they would have location specific apparel at the Harley store

Yes they do. I have a couple Harley shirts from different locations. It wasn't like a priority to pick them up on vacation though. Does ChiCat hate me now?

After I get some things nailed down finance wise through the middle part of this year, I'm leaning towards buying a moto style bike (The Ducati Hypermotard 939 in particular).

ChiComCat · « **Reply #48 on:** April 20, 2016, 12:30:13 PM »

I've seen enough of your posting to assume you're not a low/medium. The harley shirts are a solid litmus test when that's all you know. I can't imagine some of these people's closets.
