I absolutely love riding my motorcycle - ask motorcycle related questions.

Do heterosexual men ever drive motorcycles?

Oh sure.

Biker girls are Gods creatures......

jealously is such an ugly trait

My advice is this...

Chicks don't like the shrill ninja style rice burners...

They like the more confortable (for passengers) road bikes and choppers.

I appreciate how you can enjoy the roads without calling attention to yourself. Hope to see you out cruising the land of the brave and free sometime soon!

ha... 1st off, your advice is just wrong. a lot of women love crotch rockets. just depends on whose riding it... 2nd, if you are riding only to pick up women then in my opinion, you are lame. you probably are some weekend warrior harley pirate fag. choppers arent even comfortable, you dumb shit.

*who's not whose

I think my dream bike is a 6cylinder goldwing. The aspencade model. Man it would be so smooth and quiet.

Pack up enough gear and supplies and ride across the upper peninsula and through Canada around superior.

Addendum to the Original Post-

No bashing or fighting about anything. This a fun and relaxation discussion.

If you guys want to fight about what's cooler please start a new thread.

It's wet and rainy right now or I'd be out riding it around 😢😢😢😢

We have a 78 honda cb400 tII hawk in the shed that needs some help, but is at 4,500 miles and complete. It needs a battery, and the kick starter is stripped and a cylinder is possibly frozen so probably needs a tear down. I just want to know is there a way to make that cylinder fire once to see if i can free the cylinder? Or maybe I could use a hardwood dowel through the spark plug hole? And also is my bike 12v or 6v electronics? I want to use my 12V lawnmower battery to see if the wiring is ok without blowing it up.

Squirt some dot 3 brake fluid in the spark plug hole, if the cylinder can been freed up with being taken apart, this will do the trick.

Find the 17mm hex head plug that is removed when adjusting the valves, there will be a 17mm bold head under it that you can turn clockwise with a wrench to try to free up the engine.

Until you can turn it over and over by hand with a wrench with both spark plugs out, do not try to turn it over with the starter. But no your mower battery won't hurt it, it's a 12 volt system.

unless the engine had water leak into the cylinder causing it to rust and stick, there is very likely something else wrong that needs further troubleshooting.

When I hear about barn/shed finds with low miles you have to ask why did the bike get parked and left for years.

Two wheels and the wind in your face makes anything cool I don't care what it is.

I can't stand the egomaniacs that think you have to ride this or that because it's all about ego in that case.

I have never liked the ninja type bike, I have always been more if a cruiser guy myself but to each thier own, as long as they are riding safely and respecting the 4 wheelers on the road while having fun.

My first bike was a 1986 Honda rebel cmx 250 - a poor mans Harley as they call it. I loved that little bike and rode it everywhere. When my kids were older and I had a little more money saved I finally bought the Harley I always wanted - a used 1988 sportster 883 hugger.

I love that bike too, I always wanted a Harley, but I kept the Honda because she was my first motorcycle crush and my 15 year old son is now learning to ride it.

The Harley I have is a little modified with some extra chrome because that's my thing, but when I pull into a lot with alot of other riders thier Harley's are all usually bigger, nicer, etc etc.

The point is there will always be a fancier more expensive bigger bike to chase after that's how the builders make thier money.
Amen! I love your attitude!! I wish more bikers felt that way!

Ride what you love, have fun and be safe and courteous doing it and don't let anyone put you down for what you ride - 2 wheels and they wind in your face is always a good time. Even though I have a hard time doing it, I am polite and even wave at the Vespa riders lol!

It's smooth quiet small and lightweight, enough power for fun and it gets 50 mpg.

It's a 83 650 Honda, I have about $700 total into it. And chicks still check me out all the time even though it's not a "cool" motorcycle by any means.

Please no brand bashing, it's about the love of two wheels.

How far can ya jump it?

I had a similar street bike. '82 'Zuki GS650G in near showroom condition. Sold it 2 months ago for 2k! (paid 1k 7 years ago) That and selling my CRF250R to fund a brand new CRF450R.

I just get bored on the street. It's funny, though. I feel safer hitting a rhythm section of big jumps than I do riding on a congested 25mph road.

Safe travels! Just remember... Every single person on the road is out to kill you. If you see it that way you just might survive.

I want to start motor-scootering (because chicks dig it). Will I need training wheels?

I save jumps for my dirtbike, I have an 09 yz450. Bought it new in 2010 for a huge discount because everyone wanted the 2010 efi.

You'll love the 450 power!

I don't get the whole bike thing. When I was younger I did the off-road dirt bike thing, but now as an adult I have no desire for it.

Most of the riders I see are idiots weaving through traffic. Or a bunch of menopausal old men parked at the donut comparing penises err I mean Harley's. Dressed in leather and pretending they are "bikers".

I just think these guys are no different then the other old guys who buy a vette when they hit 50 and start going bald.

If a woman is interested in a guy because he rides a bike, I would not be interested in her, its a turn off, just like tats on a woman... makes me thinks she "dirty"

Not as long as you get a bike that fits you.

Start small, there are cheap small light 250 Honda rebels that are the best place for a new rider to start. And the safety course is a good idea too.
