it's more of a, I can finally afford one thing - that's why many if not most of us all started on metrics - be it sport bikes, or metric cruisers
That may be what it has come to but the guys who started all this ridin' motorcycles weren't old cranks on fairing bikes. They were young riders, built and wrenched on their own machines, rode the crap out of them and modified them long before there were crazy numbers of bolt ons.

Maybe it is now considered an old man's bike (my son's words) because of the "wallet bikers" and obviously you echo that sentiment.

Hey! Until you have ridden with this crew, don't knock it. My two sons 26 and 29 years of age have ridden with this bunch for years. My youngest on a crotch rocket and the oldest on a Sportster. The one on the crotch rocket told me he would rather ride with "The Crew" than other sportbikers. He said "Some of those guys are crazy."

First-off I don't want to offend the younger Guys/Gals on here... But I prefer to ride with the older/experienced/wiser/knowedgeable folks and think it is GREAT that the youngins want to hang-back/together... They need their own space... ;+)

Jay that was funny. Young man, if you want to ride, I mean really ride, just hang these old bastages. I ride with some young riders on another forum, not all of them are crazy, e ride sportbikes though, some young Harley riders in there too but mostly sport bikes. Actually they are mostly into track racing and plain old riding. Send me a PM if you want to hook up ith them, ill put you in touch. (Dont want to post another forum here)

My question is what do you consider south Florida ? Having just moved to Naples I thought I was in the south but am finding at times I am 2 to 4 hours away from the closest ride... Up north I could cross two or more states in that much time. It's almost mind boggling how long it takes to get out of Florida...
