I have ridden since 1992, my current bike is a Honda SuperHawk.  Funny thing is I have no pictures of it at all.  I just put a new battery in it this past weekend.

With gas prices like they are, I am starting to ride to it exclusively again.  I have had 3 bikes since 1992.
1992 Yamaha FZR600 - sold in 2002
2001 Yamaha VStar 1100 Silverado - sold in 2003
1998 Honda VTR1000 Superhawk- bought in 2003.

I want to get another cruiser again, but that will be later down the road I am sure.

Man, bad stuff has been happening here (middle Tenn) with  people I know and their bikes. Two aquaintences were killed just this week in different wrecks when somebody turned in front of them! A third just got out of the hospital after his back tire blew out at 70mph... Sorry guys. Not tryin to start bad mouthin bikes. They are definitely cool. Been a lousy week here. 3 dead friends and 2 in the hospital....All kinds of stuff going on.

Well if you see me stop posting it's because I got creamed or my girlfriend slayed me. Happens every day everywhere - nothin you can do about it. I ride for fun and strictly leisure - I think I have a few guardian angels

Check with Progressive on the insurance.  They were the cheapest at the time I got mine.
