Stop in for a cup of coffee

I say they're only as dangerous as the guy on them.. except for all the other idiots on the road. You have to pay attention driving a car, you REALLY have to pay attention on a bike. Everybody's blind spot is a concern, green lights don't necessarily mean it's safe, the other drivers don't see you, and white minivans are death waiting to happen. Just ride like everyone is out to kill you and it's fine. Been riding for 30+ years with very few incidents. Lot of guys get in trouble cuz they think they have the same rights as a car. Cost of being wrong sucks..

I helped a couple of friends get their motorcycle licences 10-15 years ago. Basically being a supervisor on practice drives. I used to - and still do - say that you should drive your bike as if no-one around you has seen you. Most of the time it's true, too.

My bike was a 1972 Honda 500 four. It looked like this one...

That is, in my book, what a motorcycle truly looks like. The 750 version of that was what I was going to get before my friend talked me out of it and I ended up getting a bike with a stiffer frame (no steering wobble) and proper brakes in stead. They are beautiful, though. Especially in that color.

I worry a little about Tex. Why?.....because he hasn't made an effort to get out of Texas :)

You, KK, bother me a little too. I'm not a fan of your avatar. Mustard is not my sorta color. I squint when I look at it.

Maybe I'm an avatar bigot.

I agree on Karl's avatar. It's a little fuzzy.
