Motorcycles and the Cool People Who Ride Them

[meow meow]

YEAH EFF HER!

[Mikeyis4dcats]

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).

can you get it in purple?

[XocolateThundarr]

I would absolutely love to have an old Indian or Triumph.  I think it would be good therapy to jump on it after a shitty day at work and ride for an hour or so.  Also, I wouldn't mind an Enduro especially with our impending move to the country.

[nicname]

Cruiser is always the answer.

Motorcycle people are so weird

Yeah they are, but riding one looks so fun

The ppl who ride on the backs of a motorcycle driver are the weirdest. There's no rough ridin' way i'm trusting anyone, on a death trap, without myself controlling it.

Saw this in person at the north topeka jm baerfields (no clue on spelling) in grade school and laughed my ass off

[EMAWmeister]

Not super interested, but those older looking victory cruisers look fun

[The Big Train]

I had a hayabusa for almost two years but sold it because I didn't want to die

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!

Deputy Dawg took this course as well.  If you're going to ride instead of operate a motorcycle, this is a must.

Also, no discussion of standards (vs. cruiser vs. touring vs. sport).  Standards are throwbacks, and the tits.

can you get it in purple?

I would have to paint it.  Ducati only makes red, white, or yellow bikes.

[Dugout DickStone]

This kind of weather, you can find clams and I stuntin' on Jefferson

I wish I could afford an upgrade right now. Picking up my '98 Monster 750 from the shop today. Hopefully it makes it through the season and I can get a good deal this winter on a bike with at least fuel injectors.

I know some people with motorcycles

[steve dave]

But, sddad has about 15 ATVs/UTVs

[steve dave]

The real "iron horse", I can round up like a thousand cows on an ATV before some stupid cowboy even gets his idiot horse saddled.

[steve dave]

Also I've flipped over an ATV like 20 times. AMA!

One of my favorite things is heading out to the hobby farm and going dangerously fast on the 4 wheeler and tearing up the native grasses

[Tobias]

i keep a mini windmill on he front of my camo atv and aim it right at the greater prairie chickens

I found an automatic.. I'm meeting with the guy to look at it..  I haven't taken the course or anything yet though. But I have riden a 150cc moped, no big deal 
What are normal things to look at/ask about a bike before purchasing. Gas tank, tires, looks like it hasn't been laid down obvy. what else though?

[star seed 7]

Ask the dB of the pipes

[meow meow]

ask how much strange you can plan on getting

[Emo EMAW]

Ask if he's an organ donor.

[Mrs. Gooch]

Automatic? Ask if it has a basket for your purse.
