So I l like the Yamaha Cruiser its a 950 which I feel is a nice medium for a beginner. It's large enough where I think I would not need an upgrade anytime soon, and powerful enough but not to powerful for a beginner. I was able to sit on it while they held it in place, felt comfortable. Prices seem about the same at most dealers it's more about any deals on gear and upgrades they may offer. Anyway gonna keel looking but this feels right for me.

I take X-Rays at the ER. No way I'd ever ride a motorcycle. 98% of my peers feel the same way. A close friend that i met in X-Ray school and ended up being good friends with did decide to buy one. He said he was young and single, didn't have a family of his own yet and nobody depending on him, so it was the perfect time for him to get a bike and get that out of his system.

They did a really nice job on his face for the funeral. He really looked at peace.

Motorcycles are goddamn death traps. You can trust me, because I am a dude with a muppet on a motorcycle as my avatar!

Seriously though. If you do get a motorcycle, just stay safe. There is nothing protecting you if someone fucks up on the road. Ride like everyone is out to get you.

That 'moped' will eat up and spit out any and all 2018 Harley's.

I like the Indians..I just don't like that version.. I also absolutely despise the road glide of a Harley.. but everyone has their thing.. my Yamaha has been a great bike.. but I really like the road king, fat boy, and street glide..Indians are a lil more money than the harleys though

Have you test rode the HD Softail Deluxe yet? It has that new M8 engine and it's a nice ride imo.

I like the older goldwings. Just started a restore on an '84 gl1200 last week. Bought it from my brother, who got it from his father in law, the original owner. It has 22k original miles. I'm waiting for a new fuel filter and pump and hope sgr fires up once I get them installed.
This is my 3rd goldwing. I think I'm gonna take all the plastic off and go without it all. Them goldwing motors are pretty too look at.

I go through this every spring. By summer, I talk myself out of it. Right now I’m looking at a BMW GS
