I used to ride an LTD 550 to work, and around the countryside in the evenings (peaceful with low traffic). I started feeling vulnerable while sitting in traffic on busy streets sucking exhaust, and looking at the big bumpers of the cars around me. I sold that bike 30 years ago, and havn't street ridden since. When my son was young we both got dirtbikes (a Honda XR75 for him, and an XR200 for me) to crash around the farm, and fields. He still has my old XR200, and I have a Kaw KLR250...but at 54, I still refuse to ride on the road.
Far too many cell phone distracted/drug induced/stupid drivers out there....just last week a local couple my age, slammed into the side of a car that pulled out in front of their street glide (killed one on the spot, and took 3 days for the other one to die after organ harvesting).
