Can I be the only one who is interested in motorcycles? I am sure that I am not, anyone fancy taking a ride when the weather warms up? I ride a 1991 Honda CB750 to work as often as I can, 45mpg compared to 17mpg for my truck. I have recently almost finished restoring a 1982 Suzuki GS850 as well. Funny thing happened last week. I went to Jasper,TN to pick up another bike that I found a deal on. A Suzuki GS1100GK for $750, with 29k miles. Trailered it back home, all was good. On Wednesday I took my CB750 for a spin, it is like a woman. I was only 2 miles from home when it decided it was jealous of all these Suzuki's I have, and decided to throw me to the road. Thankfully I was wearing leather pants and an armored bike jacket. Nothing broken and I have almost stopped limping. The bruising I have is incredible!!

Glad to hear that you are ok. Did it mess the bike up badly or just scratch it up?

I'm glad to hear it's just bruises and nothing missing or broken. I owned a few dirt bikes when I was younger. Plenty of bruises to be had there, but they are a blast. We used to ride about 30 miles each Sunday. Doesn't sound like much, but in the woods that's a long ride. Wish I still had the bikes now. I sold them when I bought a house and could no longer afford broken bones. I never took to riding street bikes there are just too many cars in this area and too little patience. I was always a Yamaha fan. Don
