I'm 53 and finally bought my first motorcycle... I can tell you this... when you are out ridding on a country road and Spotify lights up Ghost Rider on its shuffle... man... thats an experience. Now I kinda get the Boomer bikers on their Harleys and Freebird.
Hello all. I just picked up my first motorcycle at 53 years of age. This bike was an easy choice as I already have issues with my wrists and ancles from years of hard jobs.
This is my 21st Honda and my first motorcycle. I've had Hondas like 3 S2000's, CRX's, Civics, CRV, RDX, Accords, Fit, Ridgeline, Pilot, MDX, TLX, TL Type S, and 2 del Sols' including a DOHC VTEC in my life.
Im already looking for the OEM Honda side panniers and Im amazed at how little info there is. IT seems like the OEM price is $1000, but does that not even include the mounting brackets? Any info here from people would be appreciated, I'm trying to call my local dealer this morning and keep getting dumped off the line when forwarded to parts... great service they got there I can see.
I'm hoping to go on my 2nd full ride today but the weather is not looking good.
I took this video of my first ride, I showed my daughter the video and she asked me why the engine sounded so weird... It kinda does...
I usually dont have to mow until June but this year has been insane. We got no snow this year and the winter was warm, mild and dry. I'm in the supposed "wet" pacific Northwest yet I have been mowing my main lawn with my Kubota Z421 since January. The bugs are insane this year and my fields are already 6 foot tall in places with grass so I had to bust out the Kubota early this year and do my mowing'.
The going was slow, some of the thickest grass I have seen in over 5 years now.
I've sat in the front of a few Rush concerts and been to 15 since 1990. Am I the only one who finds it hard to be a "Fan" in the front? Meaning, half the time I just sit there completely dumbfounded at the absolute insanity of their playing skills on the various musical equipment. Its actually CRAZY to sit there 10 feet from Geddy and watch how he picks the bass. When Neil had his long drum solo it was hard to do nothing but stand there with my mouth gapping open. Same for Alex on the guitar however, I don't think I ever sat on his side. I literally at times forget that I should be screaming and yelling.
This is the best example of what you see sitting in front of Geddy:
