mandy75 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I got to take my baby, Willow, out for a 70 mile ride yesterday. I haven't been able to ride in a pretty long time because she was broken, got her fixed last month, and was finally able to get her out yesterday. She needs tires so Im being pretty cautious for now. I realize yesterday, after I got back, I had never ridden alone like that. I have always been in groups unless I was just running an errand. I also realized after about 30miles or so, my registration is out of date..oops.

WizardTrip Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 *raises hand*Love the bike! And the color combo is awesome! This was the bike I sold ~3-4 years ago when I moved up to DC.

gymell Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 I used to ride a Yamaha V Star 1100 custom. When I lived in Iowa it was great because it was so quick and easy to get out on the country roads. When I moved to the Twin Cities, it really wasn't fun riding in traffic, so I sold it several years ago. Really enjoyed the years I rode, though. I had thought about getting a Ninja 250 because those look like a blast to ride! Quote -- Liz Shameless plug for my online photo gallery Check out my backyard bird feeders Link to comment

StephJinx Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 GPX 250 as well. It's bright yellow! It's awesome! Yeah! I prefer to mostly ride in groups (for the social aspect) but with rising petrol prices I'm thinking commuting to Uni on the bike is the way to go.

shortstuff Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I ride a honda 80cc, and a yamaha 125, which is probably a little on the big side for me as I'm a bit on the short side. Their both dirt bikes so no going on the road for me, but I live on a farm so it's cool Quote STR – 24.45, DEX – 13.50, STA – 23.50, CON – 21.40, WIS – 27.65, CHA – 4.50When the sun comes up, you better start running - Thomas FriedmenEpic Quest - Current Challenge - Twitter - Goodreads - Fitbit - blog Link to comment

becthebiker Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hey all! I'm new to the NF community, and this is my first post - nothing inspires me to post like motorcycle talk! I had to sell my last bike , a Ninja 500, a couple of years ago. She was a beauty of a bike, but I'm a low rider girl at heart. I got my licence 10 years ago as of this week and I'm pining for a ride, so I will live vicariously through your bike-riding tales. Have fun! Quote "I feel the need... the need for speed!"

sumdawgtwigg Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I've got a Yamaha AT1 125 Enduro. Great shape for it's age. Last summer I rode a Honda 80 elite scooter, sold it in the fall. Love the yamaha though, second one I've owned.

Jkaylor Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I got a moto guzzi v7 a few months back. I absolutely love the bike. I have a dream of one day motorcycle touring around the states and running a 5k in all of the states. If anyone is in The southwest and wants to go for a motorbike ride let me know. 1 Quote Link to comment

However, I wouldn't mind adding a friend to the stable (garage) something with a little more oomph to it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Larc Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I drive a Yamaha scooter, and yes they make scooters. It's the yamaha vino 350 I believe.

Kveld Ulf Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I had a Yamaha XS400 as my first bike. A few years ago, I crashed my Honda SuperMag. Haven't had a bike since, but I plan on getting one again.
