I'd say it counts. But your wrong about the flat roads, there are plenty curvy, winding, hilly roads out there. It all boils down to how far you are willing to take it.

Been riding since 12 yrs. old.(1969). Started on a Honda 65cc Sport Cub.
Though the mid '70's and through the turn of the century Irode large Hondas and Kawasaki bikes to feed the need for speed. Nowadays its the Hogs for me currently own a 2002 HD Road King and a 2006 Screamin Eagle Ultra Classic. The wife and I tour together. to the tune of 11 - 15K miles per season. In northern Illinois that's about 6 months.

Yeah buddy, I have to agree! Every day, my commute to/from work is up, across and down a mountain, and the scenery can't be beat! Curves? Plenty! Hills? Absolutely! Winding? You betcha! :agree1:

I guess it's a relativity thing. Having learned to cycle in the hilly woods of eastern KY, everything always seemed to go by very slowly on pavement. There's a whole bunch of those curvy, hilly roads between Greenup and Pikeville, too, but riding them fast enough to be as thrilling as the off-road was virtually guaranteed to earn you a ticket. The only cop I ever met in the woods checked me for proper spark arrestor and sent me on my way.

My roommate in college had a Yamaha 750 street bike. He always wore a helmet due to the amount of wildlife (two-and four-legged) cavorting on the local back roads. He came home one Saturday afternoon with his helmet tied to the back of his seat. His helmet had a feature that allowed you to crack the faceplate slightly to allow air to flow through and out rear vents. A wasp had clipped the faceplate and got sucked into the helmet. By the time he recovered, pulled over and got his helmet off, the little bugger had stung his face, scalp and left ear about 6-8 times. He went riding the next day without the helmet (because it wouldn't fit over his swollen head). While traveling at about 55 MPH, he was struck right in the middle of the forehead by a monarch butterfly. It nearly knocked him off the bike! He had a welt the size of about 1/3 of a baseball and was a little pale and shocky from a near accident at that speed.

I asked him if he maybe he had stepped on a few too many ants lately.

Where are all the cyclists in Europe and Asia? I know there are a lot of people that ride motorcycles / motorbikes / scooters in Italy and Germany. When I lived in Italy you were not allowed to ride anything bigger than a 350cc motorcycle until you turned 21 years old. I owned a couple of hondas, a Kawasawki 900 3 cyl. one the fastest I ever rode, and a Ducati. I know in the nine years I lived in Italy and Germany it seemed there were more people on motorcycles than in cars, busses, and trains.

Just curious as to how many quality people ride motorcycles and what type. I myself ride a 1996 wide glide made by HARLEY DAVIDSON. I ride as often as I can, living in Minnesota it's a short riding season, I have ridden in the winter months, as long as there isn't ice on the roads. I would like to post a poll but don't know how.( Ijust figured out how to start a new thread) What do you rideand why?

I have recently fell in love with the Wide Glide. There may be a used one available from a co-worker soon. If only I had more money.

I have had many bikes since age 10 - all dirt until recently. Now I own a Suzuki DRZ400 Dual Sport and a plated KTM 250EXC two stroker.

Recently I test drove a Buell Uly. I love that bike too. Looking at starting some adventure-sport riding.

Hi Crusader,

I love the photo (even if it was a few years back). You are only the second person that I know with an Aprilla. Top notch motorcycle.

My motorcycle history is not nearly as interesting. Started in 1963 with a Honda S90 (90 cc). It was cheaper than paying car insurance in Boston. Rode it all year for three winters in Boston and a few in Cleveland. Next was a Triumph 650 cc, Bonneville hardtail, chopped that I bought with a blown engine. After many dollars, finally got it running. Always leaked oil that got picked up and left a vertical stripe on my back. Still have 1975 Kawasaki KZ400D. I haven't ridden it for 3 years, but still have plates on it, and keep my license current.

Wes R.
