Thanks to all who spend time sharing here. Info makes consumers powerful against greedy commercial forces! (please know that not all commercial forces are greedy - most)
As for me, I am a motorcycle addict. Since about 2011 my motorcycle proclivity has steadily progressed. As a child, there were many indications including riding minibikes around a small back yard pretending to by a motorcycle officer on the TV show "CHiPs." Even genetically, my father caught sheds on fire piecing together two wheeled pleasure machines, and he enjoyed regularly cycling me to school when I was in 3rd grade (I thought this was amazing - every time!). For many, many years of college my motorcycle secret sat quietly dormant, and many (including myself) had no idea the latent force sleeping within me. I still had the old sportster my father gave me on my 16th birthday, but it was stuffed away at my childhood home.
Once I was stabilized in my practice and household I got that 75 Sportster started for the first time is over two decades! After a few shorts rides in the neighborhood I was soooooo excited! I couldn't stop thinking about riding, but the old Sporty had issues (brakes were perilously rigged from my younger years). A quick discussion with the most understanding and supportive wife, and I went and bought a new bike.
Twelve years, 200,000+miles, and 20+ bikes, and I appear on this R3 forum. I am an addict, and forums like this enable me to energize my motorcycle euphoria. I hope that I'm able to share something that helps others. '23 GT Purchased First of November.
