my bike is a 25 year dream/goal fullfilled (when I get it paid off it will be more years than that), and alot of blood,sweat, and tears went into it.
Call it a toy?????? ok with me, I know it will never mean as much to anyone else and I don't expect it to. It is a hell of alot more than a toy to me but no need to get excited if someone calls it one.
I disagree ... it is a toy ... even though I ride it dang near every day there ain't snow on the ground. On those days ... I get out one of the other toys (Polaris ATV or snowmobile).
