I just really enjoy riding my motorcycle. Anybody else feel like I do?

Rode 4 times this week while I was off for spring break, trails and tracks, can't go wrong with that! Had a super fun day at Hangtown yesterday, but man did that track get rough! I made the mistake of riding someone else's bike that had the suspension gone through though, and now I'm not happy with mine anymore.Laughing

Love it. Rode yesterday for the first time this year. At 40 years old I've come to the realization that I don't have to hit the hard stuff and hit big jumps to have fun. I just like to ride.

It was frustrating to be so slow and all over the place compared to the pro days some 25 years ago! At 48 I also have to provide for the family so not worth the risk of worrying too much about it.

Love riding anything two wheeled. From my kids old XR70 to that 1800cc monster Yamaha Star with floor boards and a seat big enough for the whole Fam Damily... and everything in between.

Absolutely. My CR is a little clapped out and in need of some TLC. Still makes me smile like day 1. I want to add a cafe racer/tracker to my choices asap. Just because I love riding my motorcycle and I want to do it all the time.

I've had a long time off and will start to ride again this year.
No racing, just fun.

This! Even though i was never close to pro or expert. Nowadays riding wheelies through the desert makes my smile.

It's my second favourite thing....first being my kids! It's my stress release and if I don't ride for awhile, I get cranky.

I love to "just ride", but I raced for years. So if we go on a trail ride together, I'll probably end up racing you Grinning

The best way to just ride for me is to go alone I guess!

Definitely me. I'm pretty competitive on the bicycle, but on the motorcycle, I just like to go out and have a good time with good company.

THIS all day!

I am 36 and share the sentiment - sometimes I feel frustrated because I have definitely lost some speed in the last 10 years, but I still absolutely love wringing that CR250 out, don't care who is faster than me any more!

JDub...I read ya. Been looking for a cafe racer forever. Haven't found the right one yet. My advice: don't be rigid about what you want. If it's not just so, you can make it that way.

Had to give up moto at 50 due to a rotten knee. But I did get out on my Harley both days this weekend and loved every minute of it

Aslong as it has 2 wheels I'm happy. Road cycling, mtb, Moto, whatever I just love riding!
