I had a Harley Davidson 2009 Night Rod Special that I just traded in last month for a Triumph Rocket 3 Touring. I had a blast on my fast and mean Harley but it was time for a comfy touring bike. I didn't want to sacrifice the power so I opted for the 3 cylinder 2.3L motor! I'm working on getting her customized where I want now.
I have a 2005 Vulcan 800 Classic and a 2005 Honda Rebel. I rode the Vulcan down to Tennessee to visit Ernest T Bass, another forum member, last summer.
I am 55 and have been riding since I was 9, have had something like 18 different motorcycles. I currently ride a Honda Gold wing and a Yamaha YZ250 two stroke.
Bikes uses to be my life outside of work! I rode across country on my '93 ninja zx6, did years of weekend rides, hit the tail of the Dragon in NC and was a licensed road racer for 4 years in the mid 2000s. Now I am a MSF instructor for the state of Connecticut but barely ride at all anymore. Sold all the bikes but one, a honda VFR, and just spend time with my little girls (and make wine). It was fun but for now bikes are barely a blip. Someday when the kids are older maybe ill get a big tourer and take the old lady around the country in our golden years.
