How many C7 owners are also MC riders?
So I'm a brand new C7 owner, but a veteran MC rider with more than 50 road riding years of experience, starting with a Honda 150 Dream, and now owning a 2004 Goldwing 1800A and 1999 Harley FXDL. Just got out on the GW today for the first time this year, and just have to say, for sheer fun and power, it's a real match to the C7. Not afraid of the tickets with the GW, in and out of traffic...50 - 95 and back in lane, and not nearly the apprehension I have doing the same maneuver with the C7.
Any other bike riders here?

Yep... 2015 C7 Stingray and 1998 BMW R1100RT. I don't like riding around town, but I LOVE to do long road trips averaging 400-500 miles a day. This summer I'll be riding from Scottsdale AZ to Boston MA and from there up through Maine to Prince Edward Island in Canada before returning to AZ. About 8000 mi round trip. Helps limit the miles on our new Vette.

First corvette a C7. I have a 2005 Ultra Classic and my wife has a 2003 Softail Deuce. We have been to Sturgis twice and will be off to Bowling Green in July to visit the museum and the plant with the Corvette. Then off to Deals Gap on the way home. The bikes are getting lonely since the Stingray showed up.

I'm a new 'vette owner too - 2014 C7 is my first. Owned rods before though, and been riding all my life, former club racer, still ride in the dirt/bush and the street, current rides are KTM990 Adv. (great camping and travelling bike), KTM XCF-W 350 (great bush bike), Ducati 996 Mono (just a great bike) and my FZR400 (my first road race bike - couldn't bear to part with it yet even though some others are now gone).
Now that it's summer I'll probably ride my bikes more and drive the 'vette less

I actually don't qualify to play as I don't even own a Corvette now. I have owned seven, my last a 2009 Z06. I actually sold it because it was sitting so much while I was riding motorcycles. I currently have a 2012 Kawasaki Ninja 1000, 2013 BMW 1600 GT, and a 2012 Ducati Panigale. I too road raced bikes many years ago.

First 'vette, but I've been riding for more than 40 years. Had a bunch of Hondas, a Kawaskai or two, a couple of Ducatis, several Suzukis. Oh, and a Yamaha race bike many years ago. Currently riding a Suzuki Bandit 1250.

been riding since I was 8 (45years) the C7 is my first Vette. Had a BMW K1200GT 08, and a 2010 S1000RR, wife always rode 2 up with me but since she had a nasty broken arm last year (ulna broke in 2 places just above the wrist) from a stallion, she can no longer ride at the lvl we used to, so the C7 is now my "2 up bike" and I have the S1000RR for solo riding.

How many C7/MC owners are also gun owners ?
My C7 is Vette #8. I have a Harley FXDL for going slow and a Ducati Diavel for going fast. I would own a sport bike but my knees don't bend that far anymore.
I can't remember the bike count but its a bunch. All of my friends who have Vettes and bikes also have guns. I prefer Colt 1911's and Smith & Wesson 629's any one else ?

You remind me of myself. I run thru a ten year cycle favoring two or four wheels. I've never sold one knowing I'd still need smaller doses. The C7 has put 4 motorcycles into severe use reduction including the C3.

I know it's a crotch rocket (2013 MV Agusta F3) and many of you won't care much...but I just love how perfectly my car and bike match! I will say, since I purchased the vette (my first by the way), I never really ride the bike! I really think I enjoy the car more! Although I barely ever rode the bike before I got the car because if it was nice enough to ride, I was usually on the lake, wake boarding.

Anyone who can appreciate the looks of the C7 has to appreciate the looks of the MV.
Its just that were jealous since most of us are too old to ride the MV ! (physically)

I can't lie...I'm only 32 and I have to admit...it's already getting harder and harder for me to spend time on the MV! I've been hard on this body for the last 32 years!
