Never owned one... did ride one once... not to my liking...

You can go from 0-100 in oh God... but what do you do after that...

I don't, but a good friend of mine rides a Street-Glide or a Buell. Most of the time he rides the Buell, just gets the bagger out for really cold riding, or sometimes long distances. He has an iron butt though. He rode that freekin Buell from Milwaukee to somewhere down in Florida last summer.

I used to... many years ago...in my first life....

Now I am too old and fat to get on one of them. My belly would keep me too high to ride.

I owned a few rockets in my 20's.Now I'm in my 30's and have slowed the pace a little.Also more comfortable now without killing my back on those things.Still got a sore spot for them.They are a blast to ride short distances.I can take mycousins 2005 Yamaha R1 out when I feel the need to speed.

I used to. I had 2000 zx-9, 2000 r6, and countless bandit 1200's. The best was smokn someone on a croth rocket on the bandit 1200. they would pull up and look at my bike, and then look at me and scratch their head trying to figure out how that bike smoked their r1 or whatever they were riding...
