Different bikes are fun!
Thursday a bunch of us were up in Dallas and a friend and brought his '01 Triumph 600TT up for use in a drama we were doing. Well he didn't want to ride it home in the dark and "cold" so I got elected to ride it home.
I was presently surprised to find that I wasn't in sever pain when I got home. my bum was quite happy. Shoulders were a bit sore on arrival, but I think that was mostly do to the immense amount of tumbling I'd done the day before on a hard surface.
Oh, that little fairing doesn't do jack. I'll happily take my VFR over that bike. Not to say that I wouldn't love one for track days though!
Friday my brother acquired a '95 Yamaha Virago 1100. He's been wanting a bike for awhile and since the one he was riding ('86 XV250) was a loaner and the owner took it back, he's REALLY been wanting one. He found this one for pretty cheap and in pretty good condition. Needs the carbs adjusted, but thats to be expected for a 12yo bike.
Since he botched his left ankle at the show Thursday night, I got elected to ride it home.
I've never ridden a cruiser so this was a new experience for me.
The seat needs to be a few inches back so I'm not leaned back, and the pegs need to be less forward. Guess I'm not prime for a cruiser huh?
Riding that bike makes me look good though, in the 10mi ride home, I drug both feet and slid the back tire twice. Yeah, I like more clearance and sticky tires.
At the risk of sounding like Squeaky, who's going to let me ride their bike next?

It's an addiction, I tell ya! Once you start riding all the different bikes, you just automatically ask when a new one comes around.
It's weird, but I even ask to ride other Stroms!?!?!?
