Oh you were biking big time,..what cc was the Harley 73 Sportster?,..i started off with the Triumph Tiger Cub,..then went on to the 500's,..but our weather here directs you towards a car,..wet weather!!. File:Triumph Tiger Cub 200 T20.jpg
It was a 1000cc. Was lots of fun for a quite awhile. Then signs of old age started creeping in and it was no longer a comfortable ride. But ohhh... to have one of those big touring bikes they make these days!
I used to have a Triumph 350 and then went on to a 500 too!! Philip, I am sure you still handle any big bikes It must have been interesting while you were in service. Sometime I still think of getting getting one of those bikes!
Cheryl, a 1000cc,..that's a lot of power,..yep i would like one of those new touring bikes,..so comfortable. KK Ng another ex biker,..i think most young people find a motorcycle more appealing than a car,..and there is something about a bike,..being able to get access to areas where a car would not manage is one attraction,..plus that feeling of being a part of the machine in every move you make,..not forgetting the low petrol consumption.
I've always been partial to Harleys myself. I like the sound of them. I only got to ride a small Gilera 50cc, since my parents thought bikes were too dangerous for a small girl. I was a frequent passager on my friends' bikes though, and since I never got my own bike I sort of settled for a horse instead.
Oh i think you did well with the horse,..you can communicate with a horse,..and no gas consumption/petrol,..now a horse makes sense!.
Droopy... I wanted a horse WAY before I wanted a motorcycle. I'd beg my Dad. He'd say "go ride the neighbor's horse". I'd beg some more. He'd say "Go ride Mr. Freeman's horse". The I started begging for a motor-scooter. He said "Girls don't ride those!". I'd say... but I'm not just any girl... I'm YOUR little girl. You see... my Dad spoiled me rotten... usually! Guess what... I never got a horse (or a swimming pool or squirrel monkey...don't ask!). Didn't get a motorcycle until I bought my own for my 25th b-day.
