Default Spring Motorcycle Itch!!

Machine silver c6 coupe with black accents in the garage.... Havent had a bike to go along with it in a while... With spring soon approaching im getting that bike itch again.... Considering a silver yamaha r1 with black accents to live with the vette... What do you guys ride when you decide to go with 2 wheels instead of 4?

Harly Street Bob.... When do I ride 2 wheels instead of 4? Since I'm a South Floridian anytime I want...

quite frankly this is our riding season, summer is HOT... I tend to take the bike out more now than say June through mid September.

Have a silver '02 CBR 1100 myself. Was thinking about a new Concours, but still love the CBR, so put the money down on a new vette instead.

Harley Heritage is my dd for 90 mile r/t commute. Riding a bike in So CA saves between 1-3 hours a day over four wheels.

I enjoy my Triumph Scrambler. Or my Vespa. Or one of my other bikes, in short if it has 2 wheels and a motor and is the last one I rode, well that is my favorite. I might be new to corvettes, but I have 45 years with bikes. I find corvettes and bikes just go together and fill the same need for me.

On days when I need therapy, 2002 Honda VFR. Mellow days I take the Victory Kingpin. I live in AZ so Feb-June are perfect for riding.
