I didn't see one and think we could use one.

I've been a rider for 10 years. All on my 2007 Suzuki GSX-R 600. Bought her off the showroom floor, cash. I was a waiter at the time and remember saving up for it. It was totally worth it.

Although I still ride the sport bike, I've fallen in love with the Harley Davidson Breakout. Man that thing is a beaut.

I've owned 4-5 motorcycles. Some Japanese cruisers and a Harley at one time. My problem was that I always told myself that I'd ride responsibly but adrenaline would take over. I'd get home from a ride and realize what I'd just done. Lol, maybe I'll never be mature enough to ride like a grow up. I sold my last bike because I didn't want my 4 sons to fall in love with riding. They are all a little on the thrill seeking side.

I do miss it though. Now is just not the time for me I guess. Have a good time riding. I'm a little jealous.

You have to elaborate dude.

Riding like a crazy person. Too much speeding and dangerous riding.

Does riding a dirt bike count? I do enjoy some of that.

Had a few over the years, last bike I had was a softail back around my early 30s. My brother got a Road King recently and riding it when I went to visit him last does have me thinking about getting one again.

I can't simply ride either. Has to be periods of gunning it and doing risky things.

A Russian woman, famous on social media for being the "sexiest motorcyclist," died Monday in a horrific crash, media reports said late Tuesday. Olga Pronina, 40, was racing through the city of Vladivostok in southeastern Russia's Primorsky Krai region when her BMW bike lost control and slammed into a side railing.

Pronina, who went by the nickname "Monika9422," had over 168,000 followers on Instagram where she shared photos and videos of her stunts which she carried out in skimpy outfits. Pronina suffered fatal injuries which she received after her bike split in half during the crash, police said Tuesday. Daily Mail posted photos of the crash scene on their website.

Last month, in one of her videos, Pronina was seen straddling a motorcycle sideways and drinking from a straw while riding her bike at a high speed.

“By the way, doing 250kmph and holding one hand is very uncomfortable. I do not recommend but I got my adrenaline dose,” she warned her fans.

Local media reports said Pronina had several speeding offenses recorded in her list.

“She was breaching every rule of safety and riding at high-speed pretty often. Her death is incredibly tragic,” one of her friends, Eduard Hasanov, told Sputnik News.

Just looked her up on IG. I'd smash.

Well... not now, obviously. But I would've.

Sounds like she was already sufficiently smashed.

Oh nothing fancy, I just ride like a Honda SR250. Technically it's a trail bike. I prefer it to my buddies who all drive 4 wheelers.

Is it an older model? I currently work for Honda in their powersports division.

Most of the active members here are older. I was hoping memory loss would've kicked in for most of you by now.
