Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, and Relationship Advice.

I'm good. If I were to go the HD route it'd be a Pan America, and if I'm going cruiser it'll be a Goldwing Valkyrie. I really think part of my early discomfort with leaning on my first bike was the forward controls that cruisers have. Having my feet pulled back some makes it feel less awkward to tip the bike over. I do love the looks of cruisers, though.

Not a fan of stereo systems in bikes, either. All I want is a good readout for speed, miles, fuel, and a gear indicator. DTE and average economy is handy, but not mandatory. That's part of why I like the idea of the Super Tenere. It's got a similar style to the Africa Twin, but doesn't have the over the top electronics.

 

Sounds like you've had a ball on bikes. Have to give it up for health reasons?

 

That's a bummer, man. I wish I had started riding decades ago. So much fun I missed out on, and I'd be so much further along with comfort, skills, and possibly even have my "big" bike already... or I'd be dead. Either way would work for me.

Do you have any pics of your past bikes? Could you ride something like a trike, or a spyder?

 

That's pretty cool! Definitely braver than I am. I like both wheels on the ground.

 

@Azblue would you consider riding something like a Can Am Spyder, or would that be excluded for health as well?


I've got a buddy who recently got rid of his bike for health reasons as well, but he can't do the trike/spyder thing either. It's a bummer to see it happen to him so young, though. He's not quite 40 yet.

 

I've always wanted to get a bike w/a side car for the dog(s)

 

That's a bum deal. Back pain is no joke, though. Could you have one for just short trips around town? Even just 10 minutes on a bike is good feeling.

 

If you love it, it's worth spending the money on it. That's just me, though. I certainly don't need a bike. I'm in a terrible climate for it, could use the money for smarter stuff, and don't need to take the risk. It makes me smile, so I do it.

 

Wouldn't even have to be a super expensive bike, @Azblue

I'd pitch in for that!

 

Sure got quiet in here. Everybody die?

 

Busy with dinner &

 

Valid reasons. What was for dinner?

@Tripleconpanna is probably drooling on his shoulder after having two bowls for dinner, on cereal and one .

 

What's wrong w/you, fool??? I had chicken piccata, and water was my beverage of choice...

 

IDK what "piccata" is. I'm guessing it's your chicken flavored bowl of stink weed?

 

PS>>> Your aggressive demeanor would not bode well here on the coast; we're simple people who believe in CoExiSTing

 

Looks like it's sitting in urine and has been topped with rabbit excretions?

 

You spelled it wrong.

 

Silly, silly lizard... Those are capers; and the sauce would consist of lemon, butter, pan drippins (as I'm sure you'd say), white wine and a bit of EVVO

 

...and that's another thing; we don't believe in PEW PEWs, Boom Booms or anything sharp

 

Smoked pork ribs and veggies
