OMG I am soooo jealous. I owned a couple bikes when I was younger and bought a honda shadow about 6 or 7 years ago and didn't have anyone to ride with so I sold it - I really wish I had kept it. I might just have to save my pennies for another one.

I've never driven a motorcycle, however, I took many, many rides on one driven by my now ex-husband...biggest feeling of absolute freedom I've ever felt in my entire life...total bliss...even in the heat of NJ's summers, with a full helmet, long jeans, etc. I missed that bike so much more than the ex-husband...(smile) :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Naomi

when I moved to OK back on 2005 I was shocked to learn that it was illegal to get a tattoo or piercing, but you could do 80 down the highway on your MC with NO helmet...let alone safety gear...so around here you see them in shorts, flip flops and NO helmet doing 80 down the highway...
apparently NONE of them have seen what happens even in a small accident! I have seen it more than once, and every time I see a rider with no helmet I have to look away because all I can see is the the last rider I saw in an accident that had no helmet on..it was not pretty and can never be UNseen.....
I wish OK and all states would make safety gear and helmets the law...
ps, we have a law in OK that requires you to wear a helmet on your bicycle though!...I mean really...

As the Harley quote says,"if I have to explain you wouldn't understand"
Sometimes I wear one and sometimes I don't.....
