I'm a biker dude and my wife is a biker chick. I ride a 1999 HD soft tail. My wife has a 1982 Honda Rebel 450, still looks good too. We ride with a group of about 12- 20 friends on good weekend.

Hi,
I used to ride trials bikes. Never had a road bike, but more the eternal pillion...lol.
A whole bunch of us would meet on Sunday mornings at an old slag heap (mine tip) with a wood and a stream nearby.
We’d set out a course and have an amateur trials competition. Nothing serious or official, just bloody good fun. There was plenty of room to go off to do your own thing or practise if you didn’t want to do the course.
At the time I had a Yamaha 250 TY and an Ossa 250.

My younger brother (12 years old at the time) used to come along and the bikes went straight to his heart. He’s had bikes ever since.
One funny story was my brother had bought a Honda 1000 CBR a few years ago and had promised me I could have a go on my next trip home from the Middle East. Unfortunately it was stolen a few days before my arrival. So my brother arranged for some of his friends to take us out for a Sunday cruise. One guy turned up on an old Ariel Four Square rather than his normal Kawasaki. Anyway we all set off and at the first red light we all stopped and the Ariel guy came to a halt and then wobbled, then wobbled some more until he and the bike fell over. No harm done.
Amongst all the laughter from us and cussing from our fallen hero he explained that he’d taken the side car off a few days before for renovation and had simply forgot to put his feet down at the red light....
I suppose you had to be there...lol.

Cheers
Peter

lol, must be funny to see some guy on his bike fall on a red light lol... i dont often get the chance to ride, but when i do i go crazy. we used to go once a year but since i have a dirtbike now, we go more often ( parents ride a quad, and i gave mine to my brother and sister)

this summer was my first year riding my bike and i rmember this one time, we we going pretty slow in hte trails, maybe 15kmh and it had rained that day and i hit an old tree stomp, my back wheel slid and once it got over the stump i lost control and smashed in the tree's and plants lol... no harm done but the bike wasnt to nice :S

and this week end, i go my bike out in a sand pit and went to go in the trails... since the pit was low there was a kind of sand/dirt jumpbout 6 feet hight and i went to hit it on 3rd gear, but my back wheel wasnt stable, it kep on wigling and i took hte jump wrong, but if thats noit enought, the landing wasnt straight, it turned not long after and it had these huge carters! and it wasnt very wide, maybe 6 feet or so... so when i laned i realised i was goign to fast and pressed on the breakes... but on hte front one's since i was panicing lol and i flew in the hedges AGAIN! but no harm done

even if i ended up hurting my left leg, nothing much, jsut sore muscles... it didnt stop me from hitting the trails at 50mph lol

Don't get a chance to do much riding..but love to ride 4-wheelers. Bought my son who is 13 one like three years ago..and he cant stay off of it. I also love to ride on motorcycles, although never learned how to drive one. And of course we all know...the only true bike is a Harley...

We have a Kawasaki 4 wheeler down on the farm. We rarely use it other than for utility stuff, but when we do its a blast!!

During the rough part of winter we make a track out on the lake and compete amongst us family... keeps the spirits ups...
