Rides

Doesn't seem to be too much activity here, so I'll start!
Let's hear about your rides.
Currently riding a 2006 HD Sportster 1200 custom, two tone paint (red & black), I've got the HD Screaming Eagle pipes and stage 1 intake, brawler solo seat, and a ton of chrome. I currently have about 1700 miles on it, and I just sent in the last payment Monday!
Not a quite a good choice for a first bike, dropped it twice while learning to ride, then late last year, some tool rear ended me. His insurance fixed everything. (Even the damage from where I dropped it.)
It's a good little bike, but lately I've fallen in love with the new 2010, Dyna Wide Glide.
My local dealer is expecting one of the limited editions with the flames last week of September.

I work as a college instructor. I could totally take a summer and hit the road. Would love to go West. I have never traveled out of the South!

I hear ya man. I'm not getting any younger. Don't want to wait until I'm so old that I'm on a trike or in a side car!

As for places to ride, I've only ever owned a motorcycle while living in Arizona, so that would make me a wee bit biased towards that region.

What I did learn very early on is to try and take back highways whenever possible rather then the Interstates. They're more interesting. You pass right in front of all the farms and such. And around here there aren't so many little towns so as to slow me down but just enough to again keep the ride interesting. While the speed limit is a little less than on an Interstate, I find I make better time because I don't fatigue as easily.

And of course Sirius Satellite Radio tuned to a classic rock station helps immensely with one's appropriate biker soundtrack. ;-)
