Gitchur motor running...

[jaybird]

...head on down the highway. Lookin' for adventure in whatever comes my way. Yea baby gonna make it happen, take the world in a love embrace, fire all of your guns at once and explode into space...

I like smoke and lightning, heavy metal thunder. Racin' with the wind, and the feeling that I'm *younger* :D

Like a true nature's child :cool: I was born,
BORN TO BE WILD
I can climb so high...never wanna die...

[jaybird]

Who said I'm picking you up in a car? :D

And yes, be afraid. Be very afraid.

Funny no one mentioned the song...

Steppenwolf. Tonight. 7pm. :D

[Tyt Budget]

JB, you ride? I love that song btw.

Oooo I love motorcycles. I loaned my Honda 550 to a friend 5 years ago and the turkey went and totalled it tsk. He was fine; lost the bike. There's nothing like an open road with the wind in your hair and no police around to see that you're breaking the helmet law pphhhhllltttttt LOL.

[Jolie Rouge]

No helmet law in LA.

[jaybird]

No helmet law here either. Headlights on, helmet strapped to the back seat in case you cross the Mississippi into Missouri.

No ferring, no windshield, just wind and bugs and asphalt @ 70mph.

Gitchur butt to STL NOW Tytie, we'll go see John Kay tonight. I hate going alone. All my family and friends are deadbeatmiddleagedpartypoopers.

[jaybird]

That Nighthawk (650) 23,000 original miles. 1982. Pristine.

IS THE ONLY THING ON MY 50th BIRTHDAY GIFT LIST. If'n I don't get it with a big bow on it, I'm probably buying it for myself. Much cheaper than that $135,000 Aston-Martin convertible I asked for. ;)

[jaybird]

Learned to ride a month after I turned 16, on my neighbor's Harley. Still have scars to prove it. :D

[Tyt Budget]

Ah! But JB do you ride? And by that I do not mean as a passenger. Fess up now. This is where we find out if you're a real biker chic! :D :eek: :D

<-<-<--hangs her head sadly.

Alas, I do not ride (any more). Temporary issue. This free-spirited hippie married a conservative Navy boy. That has never been on a bike in his life. Yet. But then he's only 55...
;)

Almost had him talked into it awhile back, but he was looking at big ol' touring bikes. Bleagh.

Well that makes two of us darling! :p It's been years (well, 5 to be exact) ah . . . but that doesn't mean that I don't see people on their bikes, on a beautiful day, and even with their lid on I'm envious.

I don't think people realize just how much fun a motorcycle can be. Look, you don't have to be a speed demon! I for one don't like going super fast on a bike — sheesh, what's the point? I mean riding puts you viscerally in touch with your surroundings, in a way that no other mode of transportation — with the exception possibly of a live animal, such as a horse — can provide. You feel the road. You're up close and intimate with rock formations, trees, the earth, the air, the sky . . . It's a religious experience man. I just love it.

Have you considered getting Chuck on a snowmobile? I've found that's a really good way to dispel some of the discomfort about getting on a bike.

[captorquewrench]

dahubby's ridden for a long time. i got fed up and said ME TOO! I'm a novice, but I now have an 81 suzuki GS 750L. (dahubby has an 85 GS 700, hahaha I ve got more bike than he does)

[jaybird]

Never enough snow here for a snowmobile. He's got his boat. 65mph on water is fast enough for him.

I need a bike.

[newwiccan]

Birdy, the bike probably weighs more than you! I so can't picture you on one.

[captorquewrench]

jaybird, Im telling you, if it weren't an issue on the travel & delivery, guy i know is selling his nighthawk for under a grand.

[Tyt Budget]

I like those Yamahas that look like Harleys. It's been so long I can't remember what they're called . . .

[captorquewrench]

roadstar

[jaybird]

Houston's not so far.

Got any stats on it cappy?

Wiccy, wanna go for a bike ride when ya come? ;)

[newwiccan]

Uh, no. :D

[captorquewrench]

jaybird, I'll ask him for a pic, year, etc. actually, I emailed him yesterday for it. When I get it.......i'll forward it to ya!

[jaybird]

*POUT* I still don't have anyone to go with me to the concert tonight.

[newwiccan]

I would go if I was closer...













What concert?

[jaybird]

Steppenwolf. What inspired this entire thread. You youngun. :D

[captorquewrench]

if i was closer, I'd go with you.

and on my BIKE

[jaybird]

Leave now. How fast does that bike go? ;)

[captorquewrench]

Not fast enough to get me there on time. Esp since i have to pick eddie up from work!

[janelle]

LMAO--that is how they look now. Just why have they grown old and I haven't? I expect them to still look like they did on their albums. Not just Steppenwolf but all of them.

I can just see you gals on your bikes heading out to the Sturgis rally. WOOHOO.

[jaybird]

Welp, I have to leave in 5 minutes if'n I'm going. And I am dressed & ready. And out of the mood totally. I should have left right after work...

Ratzenfratzen.
