Hey all - long time rider, often owner of classic bikes. Have had dozens over the years from a 1968 Honda CB350 to a 2003 Suzuki GS500 with plenty in between. I typically radiate towards early 80s Japanese bikes - current ride is a 1983 Yamaha Virago I'm cafe-ing. I'm a casual rider - go ahead, call me a sissy - don't ride to work, don't ride in the rain or cold. I just like to get out for an hour or two on a nice day and ride in the country. Married, two small kids. I think that's about it - see you on the road!

when you're riding an inexpensive bike from the 80's, there's less wrong with being a casual rider. You've got less invested.

What cracks me up is the people who spend $24k on a Harley, or even more on a Goldwing, and then barely ride.

I'm going to be lucky to get 1,500 miles of riding in this summer. Granted, being track only, that's probably not as "sissy" as it sounds (arguably, anyway), but I don't think there's any shame in riding to enjoy it, rather than to 'be a real rider.'

If you're having fun, you're doing something right. If you're not, you're doing something wrong :D

welcome. Now pics of any and all bikes. I'll ride anything w/ a disk brake up front. The fellas who race bikes with front drums are nuts, IMHO.
