Earth? I just go fast so they can't hit me. Can't kill me if I'm miles away.

Haha You're a brave man than me. I have dirt bikes and stuff but I won't buy a street bike in CT. If I lived in Nevada maybe..

Still have the bike, but she hasn't been street ridden in over a decade. Too many morons on the road.

I'm old (ish)

Just got a HD 2016 Street Bob.

It is so comfortable, I'm at the stage in my life that I've beaten on my body for so long I cannot ride a sports bike for longer than 1/2 hour.

The usual wrists, elbows, shoulders and lower back pain.

I did enjoy flying around on them, but If I still wanted to ride compromises were needed.

It sure ain't no crotch rocket, but pulls like a train down low and I can ride it for hours and not need physiotherapy after it.

My psychotherapist says I can ride as fast an long as I want but I need to get permission FIRST.

gave away last bike 6 years ago and missed riding. water skiing is my first love but after Katrina, when beer was cheaper than marina fuel, the lake was swimming in stupidity. pun intended.


quite similar in execution. equally satisfying. like scooping ice cream.

These are both unmolested as was. and do mark their territory as any English old bike should.

They are both unforgiving while at speed and do not stop very well.

I got rid of the lightning and commando and kept the more unusual.
